Instagram Skill via cyberdrk/gram CLI

## Install

```bash
# npm/pnpm/bun
npm install -g @cyberdrk/gram

# One-shot (no install)
bunx @cyberdrk/gram whoami
```

## Authentication

`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>`.

gram whoami                    # Show logged-in account

```

## Config File

`~/.config/gram/config.json5` (global) or `./.gramrc.json5` (project):

```json5
{
  cookieSource: ["safari", "chrome"],
  chromeProfile: "Profile 1",
  timeoutMs: 60000
}
```

Environment variables: `GRAM_TIMEOUT_MS`, `GRAM_COOKIE_TIMEOUT_MS`

## Troubleshooting

### Query IDs stale (404 errors)
```bash
gram query-ids --refresh
```

### Cookie extraction fails
- Check browser is logged into Instagram
- Try different `--cookie-source`
- For Arc/Brave: use `--chrome-profile-dir`
- Provide cookies manually: `--session-id`, `--csrf-token`, `--ds-user-id`

### User-agent mismatch errors
- The CLI uses desktop user-agent by default
- If your session was created on mobile, it may fail
- Create a new session by logging in via desktop browser
