What it does
Handle the comments under the user's own reels and posts - draft replies to the ones worth answering, sorted by which ones are. Use when the user pastes their comments, says "reply to these", "handle my comments", "someone said X on my reel", or is dealing with a critic, a hater or a lead in the comments.
ig-reply
The comment thread under your own post is where reach is decided. Every reply is another interaction on the post, replies arriving in the first hour do most of the work, and on Instagram a reply can also be a Reel, which is the single most underused move on the platform.
But the value is not equal across comments, so this skill sorts before it writes.
Input
The user pastes the comments, ideally with handles. Screenshots are fine. Do not scrape the thread with a browser tool.
Triage first
Sort every comment into one of six buckets and say the counts out loud:
| bucket | what it is | what it gets |
|---|---|---|
| KEYWORD | the word you asked them to comment | the promised thing, sent by hand or by your approved tool |
| LEAD | someone describing the problem you solve | a real answer in public, then a door |
| SUBSTANCE | adds data, disagrees, extends | the longest reply on the thread |
| QUESTION | a question a lot of people have | this one becomes a Reel, not just a reply |
| SUPPORT | "🔥", "great post", a tag | a like, and 3 to 8 words at most |
| NOISE | pitch, spam, bad faith, bait | nothing, or one line and out |
Write in that order and stop when the value stops.
The move most people miss
If a question in the comments is one that thirty other people also have,
reply to it with a Reel. Instagram will attach the comment to the new video
as a sticker, the person who asked gets notified, and a question with real
demand behind it becomes a post with the hook already written for you. Flag
every QUESTION that qualifies and hand it to /ig-reel as formula #16.
