When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to mine comments and replies for audience reactions
  • Customer language
  • Voice-of-customer insights from public social posts and videos

Example prompts

  • “/comment-mining”

Requirements

  • A credential in SCRAPECREATORS_API_KEY
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, WebFetch

Workflow steps

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

  1. Fetch comments
  2. Clean lightly
  3. Classify each useful comment
  4. Cluster themes
  5. Turn insights into actions

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 64ba7b4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • WebFetch

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Comment Mining loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 327 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

Comment Mining

Overview

Mine public comments for what people actually ask, complain about, want, misunderstand, or repeat. The output should help with product research, content ideas, copywriting, objection handling, and audience understanding.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

  • analyze comments on a TikTok, YouTube video, Instagram Reel, Facebook post, Reddit post, or Rumble video
  • find audience questions, objections, complaints, or buying intent
  • extract voice-of-customer language
  • find content ideas from comments
  • understand sentiment around a post, creator, product, or topic

Comment Sources

PlatformEndpoint
TikTok comments/v1/tiktok/video/comments
TikTok replies/v1/tiktok/video/comment/replies
YouTube comments/v1/youtube/video/comments
YouTube replies/v1/youtube/video/comment/replies
Instagram comments/v2/instagram/post/comments
Facebook comments/v1/facebook/post/comments
Facebook replies/v1/facebook/post/comment/replies
Reddit comments/v1/reddit/post/comments
Rumble comments/v1/rumble/video/comments

Workflow

  1. Fetch comments

    • Use the post/video URL whenever possible.
    • Paginate when the endpoint supports it and the user wants depth.
    • Preserve comment text, author if public, like/upvote count, timestamp, and source URL.
  2. Clean lightly

    • Remove obvious spam/duplicates.
    • Keep slang, misspellings, and emotional wording if it is useful customer language.
    • Do not over-normalize exact quotes.
  3. Classify each useful comment Use these buckets:

    • questions
    • objections
    • complaints/pain points
    • praise
    • confusion
    • requests/feature ideas
    • buying intent
    • controversy/debate
    • jokes/memes/culture signals
  4. Cluster themes

    • Group similar comments.
    • Score themes by frequency and intensity.
    • Highlight exact quotes for each theme.
  5. Turn insights into actions Depending on the user's goal, produce:

    • content ideas
    • FAQ ideas
    • landing page copy angles
    • product ideas
    • objection-handling bullets
    • sales/support notes

Quality Guardrails

  • Label sample size and confidence.
  • Separate one loud comment from a repeated pattern.
  • Preserve exact quotes for useful language.
  • Avoid claiming broad market sentiment from one post's comments.
  • Call out moderation/platform bias when relevant.

Common Pitfalls

  • Do not flatten comments into generic sentiment. The value is in questions, objections, and exact wording.
  • Do not include personally identifying details unless they are already public and necessary.
  • Do not treat bot/spam comments as audience signal.
  • Do not skip Reddit post context. For Reddit, read both the original post and comments.
