What it does
Draft an Instagram caption with the hook in the first 125 characters, a skimmable body, and one clear CTA, using a 2026 hook formula chosen by goal (saves, shares, comments, follows). Runs the humanizer pass and, on approval, publishes with the image or video you supply via the Publora media flow. Use to caption a single image or a Reel. Not for slide-by-slide carousels (use ig-carousel-planner) or auditing a draft (use ig-humanizer --mode audit).
Instagram Caption Writer
Write a caption that earns the tap and the save. Instagram hides everything after ~125 characters behind "more", so the hook does the entire job in the first line. This skill front-loads that hook, keeps the body skimmable, and lands one clear call to action.
When to use
- User says "write me an Instagram caption about X"
- User has a single image or a Reel and needs the caption around it
- User wants a sharper hook for a draft they already have
- User wants a caption that auto-publishes with their media on approval
Formulas this skill uses (caption-first shapes)
| Code | Formula | Primary goal | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| IG1 | Number-First Result | saves | one odd-precision result + a "steal this" promise |
| IG2 | Contrarian Truth | shares | a sharp, defensible against-the-grain claim |
| IG3 | Relatable Cold-Open | comments | a specific shared moment, no setup |
| IG4 | Mini-Story Confession | comments, follows | a real first-person story with a cost |
Full skeletons in ../../references/hook-formulas.md. For carousels (IG5-IG8) use
ig-carousel-planner; for Reels (IG9-IG10) the hook lives in the video, and this
skill writes the supporting caption.
Pick by goal first
| Goal | Reach for |
|---|---|
| Saves | IG1 |
| Shares | IG2 |
| Comments | IG3, IG4 |
| Follows | IG4 |
Steps
Voice profile first (all drafts). If ../../references/voice-profile.md has filled: yes, load it and match the user's voice fingerprint, hard rules, and CTA/link style throughout. If it is not filled, mention once that ig-humanizer --mode profile can learn their voice from a few posts, then proceed with the generic voice rules.
