What it does

Apify Influencer Discovery is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Find and evaluate influencers for brand partnerships, verify authenticity, and track collaboration performance across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `reference/scripts/run_actor.js`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Influencer and creator marketing and Web scraping. It works with Apify, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Influencer and creator marketing
  • Tasks that involve Web scraping

Example prompts

  • “/apify-influencer-discovery”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in APIFY_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. Determine Discovery Source
  2. Fetch Actor Schema
  3. Ask User Preferences
  4. Run the Script
  5. Summarize Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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

    Ships script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node
    • npm
    • jq

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • APIFY_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Apify Influencer Discovery loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 439 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Influencer Discovery

Discover and analyze influencers across multiple platforms using Apify Actors.

When to Use

  • You need to discover creators or influencers for outreach, partnerships, or campaign planning.
  • The task is to evaluate authenticity, engagement, niche fit, or audience signals across social platforms.
  • You need Apify-based extraction plus a shortlist or summary of suitable influencer candidates.

Prerequisites

(No need to check it upfront)

  • .env file with APIFY_TOKEN
  • Node.js 20.6+ (for native --env-file support)
  • mcpc CLI tool: npm install -g @apify/mcpc

Workflow

Copy this checklist and track progress:

Task Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Determine discovery source (select Actor)
- [ ] Step 2: Fetch Actor schema via mcpc
- [ ] Step 3: Ask user preferences (format, filename)
- [ ] Step 4: Run the discovery script
- [ ] Step 5: Summarize results
Step 1: Determine Discovery Source

Select the appropriate Actor based on user needs:

User NeedActor IDBest For
Influencer profilesapify/instagram-profile-scraperProfile metrics, bio, follower counts
Find by hashtagapify/instagram-hashtag-scraperDiscover influencers using specific hashtags
Reel engagementapify/instagram-reel-scraperAnalyze reel performance and engagement

YouTube creatorsstreamers/youtube-channel-scraperChannel metrics and subscriber data
TikTok influencersclockworks/tiktok-scraperComprehensive TikTok data extraction
TikTok (free)clockworks/free-tiktok-scraperFree TikTok data extractor
Live streamersclockworks/tiktok-live-scraperDiscover live streaming influencers
Step 2: Fetch Actor Schema

Fetch the Actor's input schema and details dynamically using mcpc:

bash
export $(grep APIFY_TOKEN .env | xargs) && mcpc --json mcp.apify.com --header "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" tools-call fetch-actor-details actor:="ACTOR_ID" | jq -r ".content"

Replace ACTOR_ID with the selected Actor (e.g., apify/instagram-profile-scraper).

This returns:

  • Actor description and README
  • Required and optional input parameters
  • Output fields (if available)
Show full SKILL.md (181 more words)Show less
Step 3: Ask User Preferences

Before running, ask:

  1. Output format:
    • Quick answer - Display top few results in chat (no file saved)
    • CSV - Full export with all fields
    • JSON - Full export in JSON format
  2. Number of results: Based on character of use case
Step 4: Run the Script

Quick answer (display in chat, no file):

bash
node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT'

CSV:

bash
node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_OUTPUT_FILE.csv \
  --format csv

JSON:

bash
node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_OUTPUT_FILE.json \
  --format json
Step 5: Summarize Results

After completion, report:

  • Number of influencers found
  • File location and name
  • Key metrics available (followers, engagement rate, etc.)
  • Suggested next steps (filtering, outreach, deeper analysis)

Error Handling

APIFY_TOKEN not found - Ask user to create .env with APIFY_TOKEN=your_token mcpc not found - Ask user to install npm install -g @apify/mcpc Actor not found - Check Actor ID spelling Run FAILED - Ask user to check Apify console link in error output Timeout - Reduce input size or increase --timeout

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
