From the SKILL.md

# Instagram — Post Comments > post shortcode or media ID → paginated list of comments ## Language All process output to user (progress updates, process notifications) follows the user's language. ## Objective Fetch comments for a specific Instagram post using the internal comments API with cursor-based pagination. ## Prerequisites - Browser is open on any Instagram page: `https://www.instagram.com/` - Logged into Instagram (user avatar or username visible in top-right corner) ## Pre-execution Checks ### 1. Tool Readiness If browser-act has been confirmed available in the current session → skip this step. Invoke `browser-act` via Skill tool to load usage. If installation or configuration issues arise, follow its guidance to resolve then retry. ### 2. Login Verification If login status for Instagram has been confirmed in the current session → skip this step. Otherwise: open `https://www.instagram.com/` and observe the page login status: - Logout/sign-out entry, user avatar, or username exists → logged in, continue execution - Login/register entry exists with no logout entry → not logged in, inform the user that login is needed first, assist the user in completing the login flow User

About this skill
What does the instagram-post-comments skill do?

Fetches comments from an Instagram post including comment text, username, timestamp, like count and reply count. Use when user mentions Instagram comments scraping, get comments from Instagram post, Instagram comment list, pull Instagram comments, read Instagram comments, Instagram post discussion, extract Instagram comments, comment data from Instagram, IG post replies, who commented on Instagram.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add browser-act/skills --skill instagram-post-comments --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From browser-act/skills, a repository with 5,160 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
