Use to write an Instagram Reels script — a native, sound-off-first short-video script optimized for Instagram's discovery engine, built around a 3-second hook, watch-through, and sends (DM shares). Run when the user says "Reels script," "Instagram Reel," "make a Reel," "Reel hook," "trial reel," or wants short-form video for Instagram specifically. Reads brand-profile and voice first; writes the muted version first; structures for watch-through + sends; places IG-search keywords; picks…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Reels Script

Reels are Instagram's **discovery engine**: most Reel reach comes from **non-followers**, decided by
how viewers respond — not by follower count. But Reels are not TikToks with a different logo:

1. **The hook window is ~3 seconds** — they decide whether a Reel is pushed wider or throttled.
   Layer it: verbal + on-screen text + visual.
2. **Watch-through and sends rule.** Watch time is the top signal; **sends-per-reach (DM shares)**
   are weighted roughly 3–5× more than likes for reaching new people. Script for both.
3. **Write the muted version first.** Most Reels viewers watch on mute — if the on-screen text
   doesn't carry the story, the script fails before the audio matters.
4. **Eligibility gates come before ranking:** original, **no TikTok/CapCut watermarks**, has audio,
   under the length cap, clear niche. A watermarked reupload is throttled at the gate.
5. **The Reel also lives on your grid** — plan the cover frame; it can't be edited after publish.

## Step 0 — Read the foundation first

Load `brand-profile.md` and `voice.md`. Voice carries into the spoken script, on-screen text, and

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add social-media-skills/skills/reels-script@sha256:c3500e4bf9384f9d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
