Reverse-engineer the hook from a viral Instagram Reel or carousel, given a URL or a pasted caption. Identifies which of the 10 canonical 2026 formulas it uses (number-first, contrarian, relatable, confession, listicle, before/after, myth-buster, framework, pattern-interrupt Reel, how-I Reel), explains why it worked, names the primary goal, and returns a blank template mapped to your topic. Use to learn from a post you admire. Not for writing your own…
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
# Instagram Hook Extractor Paste a viral Reel or carousel URL (or the caption text). Get back: which hook formula it uses, the exact structure, why it worked, the primary goal it chased, and a blank template you can fill with your own voice. ## When to use - User finds a viral Reel or carousel they want to study - User wants to replicate a specific creator's pattern - Before `ig-caption-writer` or `ig-carousel-planner`, to seed a draft with a proven shape ## Input An Instagram URL (`/p/`, `/reel/`, or a profile) or pasted caption + slide text. This bundle has no built-in Instagram reader, so for a URL the skill asks the user to paste the caption (and the on-image slide text for a carousel, or a quick description of the Reel's first 3 seconds). ## Output - **Formula identified** (IG1-IG10 from `../../references/hook-formulas.md`) with a confidence score - **Surface:** single image, carousel, or Reel, and why that surface fit the idea - **Structural breakdown:** - The hook (caption first 125 chars / carousel slide 1 / Reel first 3 seconds) - Body architecture (per-slide roles for a carousel; beat order for a Reel) - The close (what earns the save, send, or follow) …

How to install
mdr add sergebulaev/instagram-skills/ig-hook-extractor@sha256:3934e8510138f3a6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.e867ea7, 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.
