Last verified: September 2026. Music apps hand out a year-in-review every December. This skill builds one from the user's own history: real counts, a few surprising patterns, and a recap worth reading, without guessing at anything the data doesn't show.
Why this skill exists
An Instagram history is a detailed record of a year: where someone went, who they spent it with, what they chose to share, and when. Laid side by side it tells a story people enjoy and can use, like the best time for them to post or the friends they've been talking to most. The data sits in a download most people never open.
Step 1: Ask what they want
One short message, only what's missing:
- The period: the last 12 months by default, or a calendar year, or all time
- The angle: a fun recap to read or share, practical posting advice, or both
- Anything off-limits: people, chats, or topics to leave out, like an ex or a private group chat
Step 2: Get the data
In order of preference:
- The user's Instagram data download (Settings → Accounts Center → Your information and permissions → Download your information, JSON). Ask for their posts, stories, comments, likes, messages, and followers and following. Messages are the largest part; the recap works without them, just with less on who they talk to.
- The connected Instagram account, if the agent has access, for posts and the Insights numbers on a professional account
- Screenshots of their profile grid and, for a creator or business account, the Insights tab
Work only from what's there. If there are no message files, skip "who you talk to most" rather than estimating it.
Step 3: Count things
Pull whichever of these the data supports:
Posting
- Posts, stories, and reels in the period, and the change from the period before
- Busiest month, quietest month, longest streak and longest gap
- Day of week and time of day they post most
What did well (needs likes and comments on their posts, which the connected account or Insights can show and a download may not)
- Top 3 posts by likes or comments, and anything they have in common: format, subject, time posted, caption length
- For posting advice, compare their best times against when they usually post. Say how many posts it's based on; a handful of posts is too few to be sure.
People
- Who they tag most, and who they're tagged with most
- Who they message most, and the busiest group chat, by message count. Counts only; don't read the messages.
- New mutual follows this period
Places and themes
- Places they post from most, and new places this period
- Recurring subjects from captions and hashtags: food, running, a pet, a city, a hobby
Their own activity
- How many posts they liked and comments they wrote, and the accounts they comment on most
Output format
A recap in short sections, each opening with its headline number:
- Your year in one line: the single most characteristic fact, e.g. "142 stories, 61 of them from a dog park"
- How you posted: volume, busiest month, favorite day and time
- Your hits: top posts and what they share
- Your people: most tagged, most messaged, busiest group chat
- Your places: most posted-from places and the new ones
- What changed: one or two shifts from the period before, like more reels or a new city
- One tip, if they wanted advice: the clearest, best-supported change, like posting at their best-performing time
Keep it warm and specific, like a friend who went through their camera roll. Use real numbers from the data. End by offering a shareable version, a deeper look at any section, or the same recap for another period.
Shareable version: if they want one to post, make a short version that leaves out other people's names and anything from private messages unless they choose to include them.
Rules
- Only what the data shows. Every number comes from their data. If something can't be measured, leave it out instead of estimating it.
- Counts, not contents, for messages. Use who and how often. Don't quote or summarize private conversations unless the user asks about one.
- No judging. Don't comment on their looks, body, drinking, spending, or mental state, and don't read problems into gaps in posting.
- Other people stay private. Names of friends appear only in the user's private recap unless they choose to share them.
- Keep it in the conversation. Don't post, share, or save the recap or the data anywhere unless the user asks.
--- name: instagram-wrapped description: Turn someone's own Instagram history into a personal year-in-review, covering how much and when they post, what does best, who they talk to and tag most, the places and themes that show up, and how it changed over time, told as a short, fun recap with real numbers. Use this whenever someone asks for their "Instagram wrapped", "my year on Instagram", "what do my posts say about me", "when should I post", "who do I talk to most", or wants insights or stats about their own account, even if they don't say "wrapped". --- # Instagram Wrapped Last verified: September 2026.
