Instagram CLI for viewing feeds, posts, profiles, and engagement via cookies.
Instagram CLI for viewing feeds, posts, profiles, and engagement via cookies.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Instagram CLI using REST/GraphQL API + cookie auth.
# npm/pnpm/bun npm install -g @cyberdrk/gram # One-shot (no install) bunx @cyberdrk/gram whoami
gram uses cookie-based auth from your Instagram web session. Use --session-id, --csrf-token, and --ds-user-id to pass cookies directly, or --cookie-source for browser cookies. Run gram check to see which source is active. For Arc/Brave, use --chrome-profile-dir <path>.
