These are the 7 Claude Code skills I built and used to go from 0 to 22K followers in 30 days. All free. All open source. I built every single one of these.

Before you start: You need Claude Code installed on your computer first. It’s an AI assistant that runs in your terminal (the black window where you type commands). If you don’t have it yet, go to claude.ai/code and follow the setup instructions. It takes about 5 minutes.

How to install each skill: Open your terminal (on Mac, search for "Terminal" in Spotlight). Copy the entire install command below and paste it in. Press Enter. That’s it — one line, and you’re done. The skill handles everything else automatically.

SKILL 01 — /spy

Give it your competitors’ Instagram handles and it tells you exactly what’s working for them. It pulls their last 50 posts, finds the ones that went viral (5x+ above their average), downloads and transcribes those reels, captures the on-screen text from the first frame, and extracts the hooks into reusable templates. You get a full breakdown: spoken hook, on-screen text hook, caption hook, and three fill-in-the-blank templates you can adapt for your own content. Competitive intel on demand.

Requires: Apify account (free tier works). The skill auto-installs yt-dlp, Whisper, and FFmpeg on first run if you don’t have them.

To install, copy and paste this entire line into your terminal:

git clone <https://github.com/tenfoldmarc/spy-skill> ~/.claude/skills/spy

SKILL 02 — /script

Generates ready-to-record video scripts that actually sound like you — not like generic AI. On first run, it analyzes your 5 most recent Instagram videos to learn your vocabulary, rhythm, energy, and speaking patterns. Then it scrapes 5-10 competitors (last 25 videos each), finds top performers, and extracts their hooks into a searchable database. When you ask for a script, it gives you 10 hook options, then writes the full script with multiple de-AI passes to make sure it sounds human. You can set up an optional weekly auto-refresh to keep your competitor data current.
