Instagram Campaign Scout

Follow shared public skill rules in:

  • postplus-shared public skill rules

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • monitor a branded hashtag
  • find UGC or creator posts tagging a brand
  • inspect campaign spread on Instagram
  • map related hashtags around a topic or campaign

Read these references before implementation:

  • skills/20-research/instagram-references/actor-selection.md
  • skills/20-research/instagram-references/normalized-schema.md
  • skills/20-research/instagram-references/tool-contracts.md

Primary Hosted Collection Keys

  • instagram-hashtags
  • instagram-search
  • instagram-posts

Current verified public skill path:

  • hashtag post collection via instagram-hashtags
  • branded keyword or account discovery via instagram-search
  • watchlist synthesis from normalized hashtag/search/post datasets

Recommended Workflow

  1. choose a campaign object:
    • hashtag
    • target username
    • brand keyword
  2. collect hashtag, search, or post data
  3. normalize outputs into hashtag/search/post datasets
  4. identify:
    • volume signals
    • related hashtags
    • top tagged creators
    • UGC examples
  5. build a watchlist for repeated monitoring if needed

Cost Discipline

Start with:

  • 1-3 branded hashtags
  • 1-5 target usernames
  • a small tagged-post sample

Avoid turning this into a full social-listening crawl on the first pass.

Public Skill Execution Contract

  • keep scout briefs, actor inputs, raw datasets, normalized outputs, and watchlist caches under <work-folder>/.postplus/instagram-campaign-scout/
  • keep only final user-facing summaries or watchlists outside .postplus/
  • compile the campaign object into a small hashtag or username brief before the expensive collection step
  • if PostPlus Cloud service is unavailable, unauthorized, or returns a stable network error, stop immediately instead of switching to ad hoc shell glue

Good Output

Return:

  • branded hashtag opportunity map
  • top tagged or mentioning posts
  • likely creators driving visibility
  • related hashtag clusters
  • recommended watchlist:
    • usernames
    • hashtags
    • tagged mentions

Handoff

Escalate to instagram-account-research when:

  • tagged creators should be evaluated as partnership candidates

Escalate to instagram-creator-discovery when:

  • hashtag or tagged surfaces should become a broader creator pool

Escalate to instagram-content-benchmark when:

  • tagged or hashtag-derived posts look worth deeper benchmark analysis
