Instagram CLI is an unofficial command-line and terminal interface for using Instagram without a graphical app. It is for people who want keyboard-controlled access to messages, posts, and stories from a terminal while reducing distractions.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00960 | $0.00960 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00384 | $0.00384 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00192 | $0.00192 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00096 | $0.00096 |
Grade A, and why
instagram-cli AGENTS.md 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 today.
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.

Project Overview
- Instagram CLI implemented in TypeScript with Pastel (CLI scaffolding), Ink (React TUI), and Instagram Private API + MQTT for backend interactions.
- Primary work happens in
source/, tests are contained intests/.
Build & Test Commands
- Install:
npm ci - Development:
npm run dev - Build:
npm run build - Run CLI:
npm run start -- <command> - Tests:
npm test
Code Style & Implementation Guidelines
- Pastel command contract: export
args(zod tuple) and a default React component; render full-screen UIs inside<AltScreen>; useuseInstagramClientto fetch authenticated clients. - Maintain
ClientContextboundaries, inject dependencies into hooks (useStories, etc.) for testability, and callInstagramClient.shutdown()when tearing down realtime sessions. - Keep ESM imports with explicit
.jsextensions; mirror existing logging setup viainitializeLogger()andcreateContextualLogger. - API work lives in
source/client.tsplus helpers likeutils/message-parser.ts; extend these surfaces rather than scattering raw API calls. - Place stateless Ink pieces in
ui/components, orchestration inui/views, and derived state inui/hooks; reuse existing visual patterns (gradients, status bars) for consistency. - When working with existing components and systems, first check their design description in
docs/ - Use linter exceptions (
eslint-disable-next-line) sparingly; prefer fixing the underlying issue. If a disable is unavoidable, scope it to the narrowest region (single line when possible) and add a brief justification.
Testing Instructions
- Ink smoke tests reside in
tests/using Ava +ink-testing-library; update or extend them when view output changes. - When pre-commit hooks are unavailable, run
npm run format,npm run lint-check, andnpm testlocally before submitting work. - Prefer mock runs (
npm run start:mock -- --chat|--feed|--story) during UI work; updatesource/mocks/mock-data.tsif expectations shift. - TUI testing quirks: Ink renders to a string buffer, not a real terminal. Use
render()fromink-testing-libraryand assert againstlastFrame()output. For visual elements like unread indicators or selection highlights, check for the expected Unicode/ANSI characters in the frame string (e.g.,t.truthy(output?.includes('●'))). - What to test: Component rendering with mock data, keyboard input handling (
stdin.write()), edge cases like empty states and Unicode text. Do not test Instagram API calls directly — mock the client.
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.
