What it does

Tiktok is an agent skill from sigcli/sigcli. Provide authenticated cookies for TikTok (www.tiktok.com). Use this skill whenever the user needs TikTok cookies for scraping tools, downloaders, or needs to authenticate with TikTok services. Trigger when the user mentions TikTok, tiktok cookies, or wants to use tools that require TikTok login cookies.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/provider-config.yaml`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping. It works with TikTok. The repository describes itself as: The authentication CLI & Proxy for AI agents. Give agents access, not your credentials. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs TikTok cookies for scraping tools
  • Needs to authenticate with TikTok services
  • The user mentions TikTok
  • Wants to use tools that require TikTok login cookies

Example prompts

  • “/tiktok”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Configure provider
  2. Login
  3. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9ba8b35. 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 (its code samples are bash).

    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:

    • tiktok.com

    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 loads about 479 tokens when it runs, and up to ~654 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 134 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~479
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~654

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.

sig get tiktok --no-redaction --format value | pbcopy

# Or inject as environment variable
sig run tiktok -- python main.py
