# Comment to DM Delivery: free dry run

**See which comments would get a private reply before anything is connected.** A read-only script, a sample register and the rules from the full kit.

## What it does

`dry_run.py` reads your register and a text file of comments and tags each one: REPLY with the keyword, no reply, or OPT-OUT. It matches whole words only, so "guidelines" does not fire "guide", and paused rows never fire. It sends nothing and needs no account.

## Run it

1. Save the three files below.
2. Put real comments from one of your posts into `comments.txt`, one per line.
3. `python3 dry_run.py register.csv comments.txt`

Prompt for Grok Bot, Claude Code, Codex or Hermes:

## The rules worth keeping, even without the kit

1. Reply only to people who commented a keyword you published.
2. One private reply per comment, within 7 days of the comment (Meta's rule for posts and reels; Source: Meta Instagram Platform docs, private replies, checked Nov 1, 2026).
3. Follow-ups by a person, only after they reply, and within 24 hours of that reply (Meta's rule).
4. Approve the exact message text before it goes live.
5. STOP ends it, at once.
6. A kill switch that starts in the off position.

The Cloudflare Worker on Meta's official private reply path with signature checks, one-reply claims, the 7-day window, a conservative hourly cap you set and opt-outs; a register checker with 16 checks; a weekly log review; the three-st
