instagram-reels-publishinglisted

The Instagram Reels publish-mechanics skill -- distinct from reels-script (the script), instagram-seo (the keyword caption), and platform-specs-and-validation (cross-platform validation). Use when someone has a finished Reel and needs to publish it correctly: specs, cover, safe zone, publish settings. It gets the Reel OUT the way Instagram displays it: 9:16 spec-clean video, the safe zone that survives the feed and profile-grid crops, a custom grid-safe cover (chosen before publish, can't edit after), the keyword caption, and audio. Uses the FRAME framework. Reads brand-profile + the Reel asset first. The agent specs the publish settings, cover brief, and specs/safe-zone checklist, and advises audio/tags. WoopSocial publishes postType REEL + video + caption + cover on a schedule; trending audio, Share-to-Feed, tags, and Reel Insights stay native/in-app; the video/cover come from other tools. Remove other-platform watermarks; metrics never fabricated.

# instagram-reels-publishing The **Reel publish-mechanics skill** — get a finished Reel **out** the way Instagram displays it (specs, safe zone, cover, settings). The agent **specs the publish settings + the cover brief + the specs/safe-zone checklist + advises audio/tags**; **WoopSocial publishes postType REEL + video + caption + cover**; **trending audio, Share-to-Feed, tags, quality + Insights are native/in-app**, and the video/cover/burned-in captions come from other tools. ## The POV: the Reel is made elsewhere — this gets it OUT spec-clean Great Reels get squashed/cropped/blurred at the **publish step** — a sizing/settings problem, not a content problem. Design for **how Instagram actually displays a Reel**: full **9:16** in the Reels tab, a **4:5** crop in the feed, and the **3:4 (1080×1440)** profile-grid crop (the 2025 rectangular-grid change) — so keep critical content **centered** and in the **safe zone.** The **cover** is chosen before publish and **can't be edited after.** WoopSocial publishes **postType REEL + video + caption + cover**; the trending audio, Share-to-Feed, tags, and quality settings are native/in-app, and the video/cover/captions come from other tools. ## Read these first 1. **brand-profile** — cover/caption style. 2. the **finished Reel asset** (+ topic). ## The framework: FRAME (Depth: `references/the-frame-framework.md`.) - **F — Frame it 9:16, spec-clean:** 1080×1920, MP4/MOV H.264 30/60fps ≥1080p ≤4GB (~15–20 Mbps); off 0.5625 → crops/l
