# Instagram Post Upload 🐧

Upload images as Instagram posts via OpenClaw browser tool (CDP port 18800).

## Prerequisites

- OpenClaw browser running (port 18800)
- Instagram tab open and logged in
- Images in **JPG format** (PNG causes "문제가 발생했습니다" errors)

## Quick Upload

For simple posts, use the bundled script:

```bash
node <skill-dir>/scripts/post.sh "<image_paths_comma_separated>" "<caption>"
```

## Browser Tool Method (Recommended)

### Step-by-step flow:

1. **Snapshot** — `browser snapshot` to find the Instagram tab. Save `targetId`.

2. **Close any dialogs** — If settings/menus are open, press ESC or click outside.

3. **Click "만들기"** — Find "새로운 게시물 만들기" or "만들기" in sidebar. Click it.

4. **Upload image** — Find `input[type=file]` via evaluate:
   ```js
   document.querySelectorAll('input[type="file"]')
   ```
   Use the last one (usually index 2, accepts video+image). Upload via `browser upload`.

5. **Wait 5 seconds** — Let the image load.

6. **Click "다음"** — Crop screen → Next.

7. **Click "다음"** — Filter screen → Next.

8. **Type caption** — Find textarea with `aria-label="문구 입력..."`, click it, then type.

9. **Add collaborators** (optional) — Before sharing:
   - Click "사람 태그하기" or collaborator section
   - Search and add your team account usernames

10. **Click "공유하기"** — Submit the post.

11. **Verify** — Wait for "게시물이 공유되었습니다" confirmation.

## Image Preparation

- **Format**: JPG only. Convert PNG: `convert input.png -quality 92 output.jpg`
- **Size**: 1024x1024 or 1080x1080 recommended
- **Multiple images**: Upload multiple files to the same input for carousel

## Collaborator Tagging

Configure your default collaborators in your workspace `TOOLS.md` file.

## Troubleshooting

| Problem | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| "문제가 발생했습니다" | Convert PNG→JPG, refresh browser |
| act timeout | Re-snapshot, re-confirm refs |
| Settings dialog open | Press ESC or click outside |
| File input not found | Re-click "만들기" button |
| Caption won't type | Click textarea first, then type |
| Wrong element clicked | Always snapshot before clicking, verify ref |
