ig-caption

ig-caption is a skill for Claude Code from nicojunk/claude-ig. It costs 100 tokens per session (1,923 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An Instagram caption-writing tool that creates complete captions for posts such as Reels, carousels, images, and Story highlights. It uses your topic, audience, writing style, and post visual to shape the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write paste-ready captions for Instagram content, including an opening hook, useful body text, save or direct-message prompts, and niche hashtags.
Why use it?
It removes the need to plan the caption structure, opening line, call to action, and hashtags yourself. It can also ask for missing details when your account context is not configured.

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

ig-caption 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 6d 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.

IG Caption: Optimized Instagram Captions

Writes complete, paste-ready Instagram captions. Every caption follows a proven structure optimized for saves and DM-sends (the two highest-value algorithm signals in 2026). Captions sound like the creator wrote them. Never robotic, never filler.

Load account context (niche, audience, voice, language) from references/account-baseline.md. If not configured, ask the user about their niche, audience, and voice.

Key references:

  • references/content-rules.md — Caption structure, CTA hierarchy, hashtag strategy
  • references/scoring-system.md — Caption & CTA sub-criteria (20pts max)
  • references/account-baseline.md — Proven caption patterns from top-performing posts

Workflow

Phase 1: Context

Gather the inputs needed to write a targeted caption.

  1. Identify post type — Reel, Carousel, Feed image, or Story highlight
  2. Identify topic — The specific content theme (e.g., "16:8 Fehler", "Proteinmythen", "Krafttraining ab 40")
  3. Identify visual hook — The text overlay or visual hook used on the post itself (needed to create a thematically linked but different caption opener)
  4. If any of these are missing, ask the user once. Do not proceed without all three.

Phase 2: Caption Structure

Load references/content-rules.md and apply the proven caption structure.

  1. Read content-rules.md for current caption structure rules, CTA hierarchy, and hashtag strategy
  2. Read account-baseline.md to identify which caption patterns performed best on recent top posts
  3. Map the structure for this specific post:
    • Hook variation opener (thematically linked to visual hook, never identical)
    • Value body (problem statement, insight, or actionable tip)
    • Line break separator
    • CTA (selected from hierarchy based on post type and goal)
    • Hashtag set (3-5 niche-specific)

Phase 3: Writing

Write the complete caption in German following these rules.

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.
