About
social-media-extractor is a high-level entry skill from postplusai/postplus-skills in the Routing and Contracts family for public Instagram and Facebook/Meta social data extraction. When a developer needs ad creative references, competitive benchmarks, creator shortlists, or UGC signals but has not named a platform-specific workflow, this skill routes the request to the correct downstream skill—Instagram benchmark or creator work to Instagram skills, and Facebook/Meta page, group, or post evidence to facebook-research. Developers reach for social-media-extractor at the start of competitive or creative research sessions to avoid picking the wrong specialized extractor. The skill defines scope boundaries and handoff contracts before platform-specific extraction begins.
- Routes Instagram benchmark and creator shortlist work to Instagram skills
- Routes Facebook/Meta page, group, and post evidence to facebook-research
- Explicit stop: no guessing when user intent or source evidence is missing
- CLI/script failures must be reported exactly—no metadata-only bypass
- Non-Meta platforms are outside this release lane

facebook-research.
- Non-Meta platforms are outside this release lane.
Do Not Use When
- The task belongs to ideation, QA, or another released skill listed in the handoff section.
- Required inputs are missing and guessing would change the result.
Required Input
- Explicit user brief or JSON input matching the artifact contract.
Stop Conditions
- Stop when required user intent, source evidence, or owned input artifacts are
missing and guessing would change the result.
- If an owned CLI or script command fails, report the exact error and stop. Do
not bypass the failure with metadata-only answers, readiness probing, local payload rewrites, fallback providers, or unpublished tools.
Handoff
- Return the structured output, hosted result, poll command, or explicit blocker.

it directly.

not bypass the failure with metadata-only answers, readiness probing, local payload rewrites, fallback providers, or unpublished tools.
- This public skill is instruction-driven. Produce the artifact described by the workflow directly from the available evidence.
- Do not call private provider/runtime paths or unpublished local tools.
- If the CLI returns a quote-confirmation challenge, run
postplus quote confirm --json --challenge-file <challenge.json>and retry with the returned token.
