What it does

Tiktok Automation is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. Automate TikTok tasks via Rube MCP (Composio): upload/publish videos, post photos, manage content, and view user profiles/stats. Always search tools first for current schemas.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering App automation through connectors. It works with TikTok and Composio. The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve App automation through connectors

Example prompts

  • “/tiktok-automation”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Upload and Publish a Video
  2. Post a Photo
  3. List and Manage Videos
  4. View User Profile and Stats
  5. Check Publish Status

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 616deb5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • rube.app

    Also links to:

    • composio.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tiktok Automation loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 761 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

TikTok Automation via Rube MCP

Automate TikTok content creation and profile operations through Composio's TikTok toolkit via Rube MCP.

Toolkit docs: composio.dev/toolkits/tiktok

Prerequisites

  • Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
  • Active TikTok connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit tiktok
  • Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

  1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
  2. Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit tiktok
  3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete TikTok OAuth
  4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Core Workflows

1. Upload and Publish a Video

When to use: User wants to upload a video and publish it to TikTok

Tool sequence:

  1. TIKTOK_UPLOAD_VIDEO or TIKTOK_UPLOAD_VIDEOS - Upload video file(s) [Required]
  2. TIKTOK_FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS - Check upload/processing status [Required]
  3. TIKTOK_PUBLISH_VIDEO - Publish the uploaded video [Required]

Key parameters for upload:

  • video: Video file object with s3key, mimetype, name
  • title: Video title/caption

Key parameters for publish:

  • publish_id: ID returned from upload step
  • title: Video caption text
  • privacy_level: 'PUBLIC_TO_EVERYONE', 'MUTUAL_FOLLOW_FRIENDS', 'FOLLOWER_OF_CREATOR', 'SELF_ONLY'
  • disable_duet: Disable duet feature
  • disable_stitch: Disable stitch feature
  • disable_comment: Disable comments

Pitfalls:

  • Video upload and publish are TWO separate steps; upload first, then publish
  • After upload, poll FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS until processing is complete before publishing
  • Video must meet TikTok requirements: MP4/WebM format, max 10 minutes, max 4GB
  • Caption/title has character limits; check current TikTok guidelines
  • Privacy level strings are case-sensitive and must match exactly
  • Processing may take 30-120 seconds depending on video size
2. Post a Photo

When to use: User wants to post a photo to TikTok

Tool sequence:

  1. TIKTOK_POST_PHOTO - Upload and post a photo [Required]
  2. TIKTOK_FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS - Check processing status [Optional]

Key parameters:

  • photo: Photo file object with s3key, mimetype, name
  • title: Photo caption text
  • privacy_level: Privacy setting for the post

Pitfalls:

  • Photo posts are a newer TikTok feature; availability may vary by account type
  • Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP
  • Image size and dimension limits apply; check current TikTok guidelines
3. List and Manage Videos

When to use: User wants to view their published videos

Tool sequence:

  1. TIKTOK_LIST_VIDEOS - List user's published videos [Required]

Key parameters:

  • max_count: Number of videos to return per page
  • cursor: Pagination cursor for next page

Pitfalls:

  • Only returns the authenticated user's own videos
  • Response includes video metadata: id, title, create_time, share_url, duration, etc.
  • Pagination uses cursor-based approach; check for has_more and cursor in response
  • Recently published videos may not appear immediately in the list

4. View User Profile and Stats

When to use: User wants to check their TikTok profile info or account statistics

Tool sequence:

  1. TIKTOK_GET_USER_PROFILE - Get full profile information [Required]
  2. TIKTOK_GET_USER_STATS - Get account statistics [Optional]
  3. TIKTOK_GET_USER_BASIC_INFO - Get basic user info [Alternative]

Key parameters: (no required parameters; returns data for authenticated user)

Pitfalls:

  • Profile data is for the authenticated user only; cannot view other users' profiles
  • Stats include follower count, following count, video count, likes received
  • GET_USER_PROFILE returns more details than GET_USER_BASIC_INFO
  • Stats may have slight delays; not real-time
5. Check Publish Status

When to use: User wants to check the status of a content upload or publish operation

Tool sequence:

  1. TIKTOK_FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS - Poll for status updates [Required]

Key parameters:

  • publish_id: The publish ID from a previous upload/publish operation

Pitfalls:

  • Status values include processing, success, and failure states
  • Poll at reasonable intervals (5-10 seconds) to avoid rate limits
  • Failed publishes include error details in the response
  • Content moderation may cause delays or rejections after processing

Common Patterns

Video Publish Flow
1. Upload video via TIKTOK_UPLOAD_VIDEO -> get publish_id
2. Poll TIKTOK_FETCH_PUBLISH_STATUS with publish_id until complete
3. If status is ready, call TIKTOK_PUBLISH_VIDEO with final settings
4. Optionally poll status again to confirm publication
Pagination
  • Use cursor from previous response for next page
  • Check has_more boolean to determine if more results exist
  • max_count controls page size

Known Pitfalls

Content Requirements:

  • Videos: MP4/WebM, max 4GB, max 10 minutes
  • Photos: JPEG/PNG/WebP
  • Captions: Character limits vary by region
  • Content must comply with TikTok community guidelines

Authentication:

  • OAuth tokens have scopes; ensure video.upload and video.publish are authorized
  • Tokens expire; re-authenticate if operations fail with 401

Rate Limits:

  • TikTok API has strict rate limits per application
  • Implement exponential backoff on 429 responses
  • Upload operations have daily limits

Response Parsing:

  • Response data may be nested under data or data.data
  • Parse defensively with fallback patterns
  • Publish IDs are strings; use exactly as returned
