itsrafiul/auto-reels-uploader — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple Python tool that automatically uploads Instagram Reels from a folder on my computer. I want to be able to drop videos into a reels folder, put my Instagram username and password in one easy place, add a list of hashtags, then run one command and have it start posting the videos as Reels.

Please make it randomly choose 15 hashtags from my list for each upload so the captions are a little different each time and less likely to look spammy. Keep the setup very clear, with a requirements file and short instructions so I can get it running without much fuss. I’d also like the folder path to be easy to change in case my videos live somewhere else.

If possible, handle the usual Instagram login headaches in a reasonable way, like verification prompts or temporary upload issues, and make the script fail gracefully instead of just crashing. If any light video prep is needed to make uploads work smoothly, include that too. You can check current docs online if needed.
