Setup guide

Video Script Skill setup

Install the social-content Codex skill and use it to turn competitor Instagram patterns into practical script ideas.

What the skill does

The social-content skill analyzes competitor content, identifies outlier posts, and generates ready-to-record scripts from visible performance patterns.

  • Works from Instagram handles, profile URLs, Reel links, post links, screenshots, CSV exports, or pasted metrics.
  • Normalizes handles into Instagram profile URLs.
  • Uses visible metrics, captions, transcripts, and on-screen text when available.
  • Produces hooks, spoken scripts, on-screen text ideas, CTAs, and rationale.

Install

Place the skill folder inside your Codex skills directory and make sure SKILL.md is directly inside that folder.

~/.codex/skills/social-content/SKILL.md
# or, if CODEX_HOME is custom:
$CODEX_HOME/skills/social-content/SKILL.md

Use it in Codex

Call the skill by name and provide competitor accounts plus your own profile or top posts.

Use $social-content.
Competitors: @creator1, @creator2, @creator3
My profile: https://www.instagram.com/yourhandle/

Best input data

  • Competitor Instagram profile URLs.
  • Your own Instagram profile URL.
  • Top post or Reel URLs.
  • Screenshots, spreadsheets, CSV exports, or pasted metrics.
  • Transcript or caption text when video download is not possible.

Final checklist

  • The installation command or dashboard opens correctly.
  • You tested with a small, low-risk workflow first.
  • Credentials and business data are not stored in public files.
  • You know how to stop, restart, and inspect logs for the workflow.
