Instagram Saved Posts Pipeline

End-to-end pipeline: sync saved posts from Instagram's API, download media, and extract searchable text (Whisper transcription + OCR). Works with just Chrome cookies — no archive download or separate login needed.

The pipeline code is bundled with this skill in the scripts/ directory — no external package needed.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+ with venv module
  • User logged into Instagram in Chrome (cookie-based API auth)
  • For extraction: macOS with Apple Silicon (for lightning-whisper-mlx and ocrmac)

Setup

Step 0: Locate the bundled scripts

# Find the skill's scripts directory (works for both plugin and manual installs)
SCRIPTS_DIR=$(find ~/.claude -path '*/instagram-pipeline/scripts' -type d 2>/dev/null | head -1)
