Individual skill

viral-instagram-reels

Plan, write, and diagnose Instagram Reels that earn cold-audience reach. Use whenever someone wants a reels script or reels hook for a specific Reel, is debugging why a Reel flopped, wants to know if a draft is worth testing with Trial Reels before going public, or needs a reels caption tuned for the post-hashtag instagram algorithm. Built around what Mosseri has publicly named as the signal hierarchy (watch time, sends per reach, likes per reach), the Trial Reels test-then-publish loop, the Original Content Guidelines and 30-day recovery window, the Edits app, and Reels Insights metrics (skip rate, share rate, followers from this post). Covers a Reels-specific reels strategy: send-driving CTAs, originality without watermarks, audio licensing by account type, captions as the primary SEO signal, and the anti-patterns that quietly cap distribution. Pattern-based guidance, not a virality promise.

# Viral Instagram Reels

Help the user plan, write, and diagnose Instagram Reels specifically. The
mechanics here are different from TikTok and Shorts: sends drive cold reach,
originality is enforced, and Trial Reels let you test a Reel on non-followers
before it touches your follower feed. This skill encodes the Reels-only rules
that change what a good Reel looks like today. It does not predict virality.
It stacks the odds and tells you what to optimize for on this surface.

For cross-platform hook craft, see `viral-hooks`. For ideation systems, see
`viral-short-form-ideas`. For deep caption work, see `viral-captions-and-ctas`.
Use this skill when the question is Reels-specific.
