How to Use Kabo in Claude Code
Use Kabo in Claude Code to review your account, research other creators, and develop your next piece of content. Start with your account URL or a content question. Kabo brings creator research into the same conversation where you develop ideas and write scripts.
Install Kabo in Claude Code
You need Claude Code 2.1.275 or later, Python 3, and a workspace where Claude can read and write files. Your Claude Code access and Kabo sign-in are separate. The current Kabo plugin includes its research workflows along with the data connection.
- Open the official installation page, then run these two commands in your terminal, in order, to install Kabo for the current project. If you ask Claude to run them, review any permission request.

- Start a new Claude Code CLI session to load Kabo.
- Run the sign-in command below in your terminal. In the browser, sign in to Kabo and review the requested access before choosing Allow connection.
claude mcp login plugin:kabo:kabo
- After the browser confirms authentication, start a new Claude Code CLI session and ask it to show the available Kabo research tools.
These instructions cover the Claude Code CLI. Your terminal may ask for permission to run commands or write files; review each request before continuing.
Already using kabo-alpha? Move to the current Kabo plugin using the installation steps above. Disable the old plugin entry so the two versions do not compete, and keep your saved research files. For the latest setup, see Kabo’s Claude Code installation guide.
Once connected, ask for a specific task in plain language. Kabo’s bundled Skills cover account reviews, competitor research, trends, content ideas, and scripts. Installing the full plugin gives Claude Code both these workflows and the data connection.
For a reusable project setup, follow the Claude Code creator workflow.

Four prompts to start with
Start with the task you actually need. Matt Wolfe’s public Instagram profile is the public example below. To review your own account, replace Matt’s URL with your public profile URL. The other prompts start from your topic or research question.
1. Review a public account
Use Kabo to review https://www.instagram.com/mr.eflow/ using recent public posts. Show the dates, sample size, and source links, then suggest one thing to continue and one thing to test.
2. Find ideas for your next Reel
Use Kabo to develop three Instagram Reel ideas about testing AI tools for solo creators. My audience wants practical demos, and I can film at a desk with screen recordings. Give each idea a viewer question, a clear promise, and a simple demonstration. These are brainstorming proposals, not verified trends. Let me choose an idea before writing a script.
3. Draft a script for a chosen idea
Use Kabo to draft a 45-second Instagram Reel script for this idea I have chosen: compare two AI tools on the same everyday creator task. The audience is solo creators, and the format is a desk introduction followed by screen recordings. Include two alternative opening hooks and a cover-text suggestion. Leave placeholders for tool names and observed test results, and ask for any other details you need. Do not invent a winner or performance claims. Return text for my review; do not save it to Kabo or publish it.
4. Research recent Instagram patterns
Use Kabo to research Instagram Reels about AI tools for English-speaking solo creators in the US, focusing on the last seven days. Show the date window, sample size, source links, and any limits in the available data. Explain recurring content patterns I could test without copying a creator. If there is not enough recent evidence, say so rather than calling the examples a trend.
A useful response may start with a question. A script may need more detail about what you plan to show. Answer those questions before judging the result. For research, check the linked posts and dates; for drafts, replace placeholders with facts you can support. A seven-day search may return too few recent posts to establish a trend.
Once you have chosen your ideas, follow the Claude Code content calendar playbook to turn them into a schedule with owners, assets, and review dates.
Common questions
Can Claude Code analyze an Instagram account with Kabo?
Kabo documents public-account reviews. Give it a public profile URL; a usable report depends on the data being available and successfully retrieved. Public views and likes do not reveal private Insights, retention, or revenue.
What can I do with Kabo in Claude Code?
Review your account to decide what to keep or change. Compare other creators and research trends when you need a fresh direction, then develop ideas and draft scripts for the topics you choose. The four prompts above give you a starting point for account research, ideas, scripts, and Instagram research.
Will Kabo publish to my social account?
No. Kabo researches, analyzes, plans, and drafts. You decide what to use and publish. For help dividing the work, read which tasks to give AI.
How much can I use Kabo for free?
Kabo data calls use your account allowance. Check the amount available before a larger research request. You still need access to Claude Code; installing the plugin does not provide it.
