⚠️ Security warning from Skill Harbor: we detected a potentially dangerous pattern — this build installs via `curl | bash`, which runs remote code on your machine without review. Only install if you have read the code yourself. Use at your own risk. Curated by Skill Harbor — a free, open-source build (MIT) by @pjpoulose, listed here with credit to its creator. An installable Muse skill that deep-reads your Instagram saved posts and keeps them searchable on your own machine, also exposed as an MCP server.
Version:
Install
Prerequisites: An Instagram account (you export your saved posts) and Python 3. No GitHub account needed unless listed here. Install "PIL — Personal Instagram Library" for me. A Personal Instagram Library — ingest your saved Instagram posts into a local database and query them; includes an MCP server. Repository: https://github.com/pjpoulose/PIL 1. Clone the repo into a temporary folder (public HTTPS clone — no account needed) and look inside. Summarize it for me in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: briefly review any scripts for anything suspicious (network calls to unexpected hosts, shell commands, credential harvesting). Install the SKILL.md as a skill; wire up the MCP server (bin/mcp_server.py) too if you want it in your MCP client. If you see a red flag, stop and tell me before going further. 3. Install it as a skill: create a folder named pil in my agent's skills directory and copy SKILL.md plus its helper files there, keeping the layout the SKILL.md expects. 4. Verify without network calls: each SKILL.md has valid frontmatter (name + description); helper scripts pass a syntax check. 5. Report: what you installed, where, and anything still left for me to do myself (or confirm there's nothing left). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it (e.g. authenticated clone); otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
