Instagram Replicate

Freeze one public Instagram video post or reel into a rerenderable local build that always emits both instagram-replica.mp4 and instagram-replica.gif, with the GIF kept under 24 MB.

Verified against public Instagram pages on April 12, 2026.

Call-Bluff First

Do not promise a browser-level or forever-stable clone of Instagram. Instagram can change layout, counters drift, login interstitials appear, and media URLs expire. The local renderer is intentionally deterministic rather than a replay of Instagram's private renderer.

What this skill does well:

• capture one public Instagram post into a frozen snapshot.json
• download the profile avatar, poster frame, and primary video locally
• rebuild the desktop logged-out post chrome in deterministic local HTML/CSS
• record that local page with Playwright
• export a stable MP4 and a companion GIF in the same directory
