setup

setup is a command for coding agents from ibrahimhajjaj/ig-dl. It costs 19 tokens per session (610 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A first-time setup procedure for ig-dl, a tool for downloading Instagram content. It checks the required command-line programs, browser connection, and saved login session.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking ig-dl, gallery-dl, and yt-dlp installations, verifying browser remote debugging, signing in through the browser, and confirming the current session.
Why use it?
It helps identify missing setup pieces before downloading content. It also explains how to let ig-dl use a signed-in browser session when authentication is not available.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Walk the user through getting ig-dl ready to download Instagram content. Each step runs a real command via the Bash tool and reports its exit status before moving on.

Step 1 — Check the ig-dl binary is on PATH. Run: which ig-dl && ig-dl --help | head -5 If not found, tell the user to install it: go install github.com/ibrahimhajjaj/ig-dl/cmd/ig-dl@latest. Stop.

Step 2 — Check gallery-dl and yt-dlp are on PATH. Run: which gallery-dl yt-dlp If either missing, suggest: brew install gallery-dl yt-dlp. Both are needed — gallery-dl for posts/stories/highlights/profiles, yt-dlp for reels.

Step 3 — Show current session status. Run: ig-dl status If "authed" already, skip to step 6. If "not authed", continue.

Step 4 — Ask the user to enable CDP in their browser. Tell them exactly: "Open chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging (or edge://inspect/#remote-debugging) in your normal browser and toggle 'Allow remote debugging for this browser instance' ON. Make sure instagram.com is open in a tab and you're signed in there."

Wait for the user to confirm they did it.

Step 5 — Verify ig-dl sees the live browser. Run: ig-dl browsers If any entry shows [live], proceed. If every entry is [stale], tell the user the toggle didn't stick — they should try flipping it off and on again, or fall back to the companion extension path (step 7).

Step 6 — Capture the session. Run: ig-dl login Tell the user the browser will pop a permission dialog asking them to allow the remote debugging session — they must click Allow. On success, report "session captured from ".

Step 7 — If CDP didn't work, fall back to the companion extension. Point the user at the repo's extension-companion/ directory, tell them to load it via chrome://extensions → Developer mode → Load unpacked, then click "Export session for CLI" in the extension's options page. Finally: ig-dl login --import ~/Downloads/ig-dl-session.json

Final step — Confirm. Run ig-dl status one more time and verify it reports authed (source=<browser or imported>, age=...s). If so, the setup is complete and the user can now run ig-dl <instagram-url> or use any of the ig_* MCP tools.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
