What it does

Tiktok Growth is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. Use to grow a TikTok account — the TikTok-specific growth strategy that diagnoses where growth is stuck and orchestrates the other skills to fix it. Run when the user says "grow on TikTok," "TikTok growth," "get more followers/views on TikTok," "my TikTok isn't growing," "go viral on TikTok," or "TikTok strategy." Reads brand-profile, social-strategy, and audience first. Built on the 2026 reality that TikTok is an interest graph — follower count is not a ranking factor; completion rate and rewatches drive reach…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/completion-search-volume.md` and `references/examples.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Video scripts and shorts, Content strategy and Go-to-market strategy. It works with TikTok. The repository describes itself as: 106 social media skills for AI agents - strategy, writing, video, design, platform growth, publishing, and analytics. Works with Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes & 40+ agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Grow a TikTok account — the TikTok-specific growth strategy that diagnoses where growth is stuck and orchestrates the other skills to fix it
  • Says grow on TikTok
  • Get more followers/views on TikTok
  • My TikTok isnt growing

Example prompts

  • “grow on TikTok,”
  • “TikTok growth,”
  • “get more followers/views on TikTok,”
  • “/tiktok-growth”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the foundation + the current state
  2. Diagnose the broken stage/phase
  3. Fix completion + rewatch (the dominant signal)
  4. Build the search lane (evergreen discovery)
  5. Run consistent at-bats + read patterns
  6. Convert + retain with native features
  7. Niche, cadence, measurement

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30eeb. 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 Growth loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 230 tokens; SKILL.md has 736 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~230
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.8k

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 Growth

This is the TikTok-specific growth system — not a content skill. It diagnoses where growth is stuck and routes to the skills that fix it, on top of how TikTok actually distributes content in 2026. Don't carry over Instagram assumptions; TikTok is a different machine.

Three truths shape everything:

  1. TikTok is an interest graph, not a social graph. Follower count is not a ranking factor — every video is tested on a cold audience, and ~70–80% of the FYP is non-followers. You don't grow by accumulating followers for reach.
  2. Completion + rewatch win. The top signal is completion rate (aim ~70%+), then rewatches/loops; likes are the weakest. The first ~1 second decides everything.
  3. Search and volume are growth pillars. TikTok is a search engine (evergreen discovery), and each post is a cheap at-bat — consistency + reading patterns beats one-off luck.

Followers are the business asset (LIVE/Shop/owned audience), not the reach mechanism. (Full model: references/the-growth-engine.md.)

Step 0 — Read the foundation + the current state

Load brand-profile.md, social-strategy.md, audience.md. Get the goal and the current state from native TikTok analytics (completion %, rewatch, shares, traffic source FYP vs Search vs Profile, follows-per-video) — needs a business/creator account; WoopSocial has no analytics.

Step 1 — Diagnose the broken stage/phase

Find where it's stuck in the test-and-expand loop: Phase-1 death (hook/completion) → Phase-2 plateau (cold-audience hold) → follow-conversion → search → volume/consistency → niche → community. A growth problem is almost always one stage. See the diagnosis table in references/features-and-diagnosis.md.

Step 2 — Fix completion + rewatch (the dominant signal)

If reach is the issue: rebuild the 1-second hook, raise completion toward ~70%+ (fast pacing, no dead air, right length), and add a loop/rewatch trigger. → tiktok-script, hook-writer. See references/completion-search-volume.md.

Step 3 — Build the search lane (evergreen discovery)

Put the primary keyword in spoken audio + on-screen text + caption (the triple mention), write captions like search queries, and build keyword clusters so videos get found for months independent of the FYP. → hashtag-strategy/social-seo, tiktok-script.

Step 4 — Run consistent at-bats + read patterns

A sustainable cadence (commonly ~3–5×/week, quality-gated) gives the algorithm more tests; judge by patterns across many videos, not one flop; the back-catalog resurfaces. Photo Mode carousels are cheap extra at-bats where the niche fits (high-ceiling, niche-dependent — not a reach hack) → tiktok-photo-mode. → content-calendar, viral-reverse-engineering. See references/completion-search-volume.md.

Step 5 — Convert + retain with native features

  • Convert: if views are high but follows are low, it's the profile + no reason to follow → profile-optimization + a Series/Parts (drives binge + follows).
  • Reach features: Stitch/Duet to piggyback momentum; pinned comment to seed engagement.
  • Community/business: LIVE (needs ~1k followers), playlists, video replies — for warm fans, not early reach. See references/features-and-diagnosis.md.

Step 6 — Niche, cadence, measurement

  • Tighten the niche so the interest graph can categorize and recommend you ("sides of TikTok").
  • Sustainable cadence → content-calendar.
  • Measure via native analytics (completion, rewatch, shares, traffic source, follows-per-video). No WoopSocial analytics; follower count isn't the goal metric.

Orchestration map

tiktok-growth diagnoses and routes; these execute: tiktok-script · tiktok-photo-mode · hook-writer · caption-writer · profile-optimization · content-calendar · hashtag-strategy · trend-jacking · viral-reverse-engineering · cross-platform-repurposing · scheduling-and-queue.

Quality bar — self-check

  • Did I diagnose the broken stage/phase rather than spray generic tips?
  • Did I center completion (~70%+) + rewatch as the signals, and the 1-second hook?
  • Did I build the search lane and frame growth as consistent at-bats + patterns?
  • Did I treat followers as a business asset, not a reach lever?
  • Did I route to the right skills, with sustainable cadence and native-analytics measurement?
  • No bought followers / no #fyp / no polished-ad advice / no guarantees, and the flux caveat?

Edge cases & pushback

  • "Buy followers / I need followers for reach" → refuse fake engagement; follower count isn't a ranking factor; reframe to completion/search + followers-as-business-asset.
  • "~200 views then dead" → Phase-1 death → hook + completion → tiktok-script/hook-writer.
  • "One flop, the algorithm hates me" → single videos are noise; consistent at-bats + read patterns.
  • "Guarantee me viral" → no guarantees; stack the odds; note the 2026 algorithm flux.
  • Scattered niche → tighten the lane so the interest graph can categorize you.
  • "Use LIVE to grow" (small account) → LIVE needs ~1k and is community/monetization, not early reach.
  • "Which video performs best?" → native TikTok analytics; no WoopSocial analytics.
  • brand-profile, social-strategy, audience-research — the positioning growth rests on.
  • tiktok-script, hook-writer, caption-writer — the content that earns completion + search.
  • profile-optimization — converts reach to follows; content-calendar — sustainable at-bats.
  • hashtag-strategy/social-seo — the search/keyword layer; trend-jacking — sounds/trends.
  • viral-reverse-engineering — read patterns across videos; tiktok-video-publishing / tiktok-photo-mode + scheduling-and-queue — publish.
