## What it does

The skill treats the profile as a decision screen rather than a storefront. A visitor usually decides in three seconds whether to stay. To run an audit, paste the profile text or provide a screenshot showing the name field, bio, link, highlights, and the first two rows of grid posts.

The agent checks the details against `rubric.json`, covering twelve specific criteria up to 100 total points. It prints a breakdown table and rewrites weak sections in descending order of points lost. It focuses on the 30-character searchable name field, the first bio line, pinned posts, and highlight titles.

This skill never logs into your account and saves nothing to Instagram. You have to copy the resulting copy blocks and paste them into the mobile app yourself.

  Score an Instagram profile out of 100 against a 12-part rubric and rewrite
  the parts that lose points - name field, bio, link, highlights, pinned three,
  grid. Use when the user says "optimize my profile", "fix my bio", "score my
  Instagram", "why don't people follow me", or pastes their profile and asks how
  it reads.

# ig-profile

Almost everybody optimises the wrong thing here. The profile is not a
storefront people browse. It is a **decision screen**, arrived at from one
reel, and it gets about three seconds to answer one question: is there more of
that here, and is it for me.

## Input

Ask the user to paste or screenshot: the name field, the handle, the bio, what
the link points to, the highlight names, what is pinned, and the first nine
grid covers. A screenshot of the top of the profile plus the first two grid
rows is enough for a first pass.

Do not log into Instagram on their behalf.

## Score it

Read `rubric.json` in this folder. Twelve items, 100 points, each with what
full marks looks like and how it usually fails. Score every item, show the
table, give the total. Be honest. Most profiles land in the 30s and 40s on the
first pass and a generous score is useless.

```
PROFILE SCORE  38/100

  name field       2/12   name only, no words anyone searches
  bio first line   3/12   three nouns and a coffee emoji
  pinned three     0/10   nothing pinned
  highlights       2/8    "Random", "Life", "2023"
  grid legibility  4/8    six of nine covers are a face mid-sentence
  ...
```

## Then rewrite, in this order

Fix in descending order of points lost. Do not rewrite everything at once, the
user has to actually go and change each of these.

**1. The name field (30 characters).** The bold line under the photo, not the
handle. This is the field Instagram search matches against, and most accounts
put a name in it and nothing else. Format that works:
`{Name} | {what you do, in searched words}`. Give three options.

**2. Bio line one.** Who this is for and what changes. Not a job title, not
adjectives, not a pipe-separated list of identities. The rest of the 150
characters carries one piece of proof or one plain offer.

**3. The pinned three.** Three slots, three different jobs: the best proof, the
clearest explanation of the offer, the best introduction to the person. This is
the highest-leverage fix on the whole profile and it takes four taps. An
unpinned grid shows whatever was posted last, which is a coin flip.

**4. Highlights.** Four to six, named for the questions a buyer asks: Pricing,
Results, How it works, About. Not "Random". Delete the rest.

**5. The link.** One destination that matches what the bio just promised. Five
are allowed; two is already a menu and a menu converts worse than a door.

**6. Grid covers.** The first nine at thumbnail size. Reel covers get chosen,
not left as whatever frame one was. Four words of text on a cover makes a grid
readable in one glance.
