When your agent uses it

  • Wants to create TikTok video captions
  • Optimize for TikTok
  • The user mentions TikTok post
  • TikTok hashtags

Example prompts

  • “TikTok post,”
  • “TikTok caption,”
  • “TikTok video,”
  • “/tiktok-captions”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Caption (hook + context + CTA)
  2. Video script (if video agent)
  3. Video specs (9:16, 1080x1920, length)
  4. Hashtags (3-5; niche-relevant)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8dd89c5. 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

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Captions loads about 688 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 298 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~688

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.
