README (SKILL.md)

Instagram via ClawLink

Work with Instagram from chat — publish content, manage comments, get insights, and handle messaging.

Powered by ClawLink, an integration hub for OpenClaw that handles hosted connection flows and credentials so you don't need to configure Instagram API access yourself.

Quick start

  1. Install the verified ClawLink plugin: openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
  2. Start a fresh OpenClaw chat if the plugin was just installed and ClawLink tools are not visible yet
  3. If ClawLink is not configured, call clawlink_begin_pairing
  4. Tell the user to open the returned pairing URL, sign in to ClawLink if needed, and approve the device
  5. After the user confirms approval, call clawlink_get_pairing_status
  6. Tell the user to connect Instagram at claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=instagram
  7. When the user confirms Instagram is connected, call clawlink_list_integrations and then clawlink_list_tools with the instagram integration slug

Setup details

Installing the plugin

If the ClawLink plugin is not installed yet, tell the user to run:

openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin

If the current chat started before the plugin was installed and ClawLink tools are still unavailable, tell the user to start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the plugin tool catalog.

Pairing ClawLink

If ClawLink reports that the plugin is not configured, the plugin has not been paired with the user's ClawLink account yet.

  1. Call clawlink_begin_pairing.
  2. Tell the user to open the returned pairing URL in their browser.
  3. The user signs in to ClawLink if needed and approves the OpenClaw device.
  4. After the user confirms approval, call clawlink_get_pairing_status to finish local setup.

The resulting device credential is stored locally in OpenClaw's plugin config and is only sent to claw-link.dev. The user should not paste raw credentials into chat.

Connecting Instagram

Tell the user to open https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=instagram and connect Instagram there. The page opens the add-connection panel filtered to Instagram. ClawLink's hosted page runs the Instagram OAuth flow — the user clicks through the login and authorization screen. When they confirm it is done, call clawlink_list_integrations to verify, then call clawlink_list_tools with integration instagram.

Using Instagram tools

ClawLink provides tools dynamically based on what the user has connected. You do not need to know tool names or schemas in advance.

Discovery

  1. Call clawlink_list_integrations to confirm Instagram is connected.
  2. Call clawlink_list_tools with integration instagram.
  3. Treat the returned list as the source of truth. Do not guess or assume what tools exist.
  4. If the user describes a capability but the exact tool is unclear, call clawlink_search_tools with a short query and integration instagram.
  5. If no Instagram tools appear, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=instagram.

Execution

  1. Call clawlink_describe_tool before using an unfamiliar tool, before any write, or when the request is ambiguous.
  2. Use the returned schema, whenToUse, askBefore, safeDefaults, examples, and followups.
  3. Prefer read, list, search, and get operations before writes.
  4. For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call clawlink_preview_tool first, then confirm with the user.
  5. Execute with clawlink_call_tool.
  6. If it fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.

What you can do

Typical Instagram tasks (actual availability depends on the user's connected account, permissions, scopes, and current ClawLink tool catalog):

  • Get user info and insights
  • List media items and stories
  • Get media details and children (carousel items)
  • Get media insights and comments
  • Create and publish media containers
  • Create carousel containers
  • Post comments on media
  • View comment replies
  • Check content publishing limits

Rules

  • Always use ClawLink tools for Instagram. Do not ask the user for separate Instagram credentials.
  • Do not claim a capability is missing without checking the live ClawLink catalog in the current turn.
  • Do not invent slash commands or ask the user to paste raw credentials.
  • Ask for confirmation before destructive, external-facing, or bulk write actions.
  • If Instagram is not connected, direct the user to https://claw-link.dev/dashboard?add=instagram.
  • Never echo or repeat the user's ClawLink credential.

Resources

Usage Guidance
This skill does not show malicious or deceptive behavior in the provided artifacts. Before installing, make sure you trust ClawLink, review the Instagram OAuth permissions, and only approve previews for posts, comments, messages, or bulk actions that you actually want performed.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: instagram-posts Version: 0.1.0 The skill bundle provides instructions for an AI agent to interact with Instagram using the ClawLink integration service. The logic in SKILL.md focuses on dynamic tool discovery and execution through a specific plugin (clawlink-plugin), incorporating safety measures such as requiring user confirmation for write actions and explicitly forbidding the agent from requesting or echoing raw credentials. No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection was found; the reliance on the external domain claw-link.dev is consistent with the stated purpose of using a hosted integration hub.
Capability Tags

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose matches the documented capabilities, including Instagram publishing, comments, insights, and messaging. These are high-impact social account actions but are clearly aligned with the skill description.
Instruction Scope
The instructions include scoped discovery, tool description before unfamiliar or write actions, preview before writes, and user confirmation for destructive, external-facing, or bulk actions.
Install Mechanism
The skill itself is instruction-only, but it asks the user to install and use the external ClawLink plugin. This is purpose-aligned, but the plugin code is outside the provided artifact set.
Credentials
OAuth and ClawLink-hosted credential handling are expected for an Instagram integration, and the skill warns not to paste raw credentials into chat.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill states that a device credential is stored locally in OpenClaw plugin config and sent only to claw-link.dev. This is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but users should understand it persists beyond a single chat.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install instagram-posts
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /instagram-posts
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
