Run when the user says "TikTok script," "TikTok video," "script for TikTok," "make a TikTok," "storytime," "TikTok hook," or wants short-form video for TikTok specifically.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/examples.md` and `references/formats-and-sound.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video scripts and shorts. It works with TikTok and Instagram. 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.

- Sound-aware short-video script optimized for TikToks discovery engine (the FYP)

- Says TikTok script

Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
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 Script loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 241 tokens; SKILL.md has 744 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 Script
TikTok is the purest discovery engine in social: the For You Page decides reach from how people respond to the video, not from your follower count — so every TikTok has to earn its reach from scratch. That makes the rules specific, and different from Reels:
- The hook is brutal — ~1 second. Stop the scroll instantly on three channels (verbal + on-screen text + visual) or the video is invisible.
- Watch-time and rewatches are everything. Design for completion and a loop, not just a hook.
- Make TikToks, not ads. Native, authentic, slightly-raw content beats polished/ad-like content. This is the biggest brand mistake on TikTok — and the pushback this skill makes.
- Sound and trends are part of discovery — ride them where they fit, never forced.
- TikTok is also a search engine — keywords (spoken + on-screen + caption) get you found.
(Full mechanics in references/tiktok-mechanics.md.)
Step 0 — Read the foundation first
Load brand-profile.md and voice.md. Voice carries into the spoken script and the caption. Carry
guardrails and compliance rules.
Step 1 — Lock the concept, goal, and format
- One idea — a TikTok does one thing.
- Goal — reach, saves, follows, or comments (shapes the close/CTA).
- Format — talking head, storytime, POV, tutorial, listicle, green-screen, Stitch/Duet, or
faceless voiceover. Match it to the message and who's making it. See
references/formats-and-sound.md.
Step 2 — Decide the sound
Ride a trending sound only where it genuinely fits; otherwise use original audio (most
brand/founder content) or a commercial-safe music bed. A forced trend hurts. For live trend research
and timing, hand off to trend-jacking. See references/formats-and-sound.md.
Step 3 — Write the 1-second hook
Use hook-writer. Fire the hook on all three channels at once in the first ~1–3 seconds — no intro,
no logo, no "hey guys." It must be true (no clickbait the video won't pay off). See
references/hooks-and-retention.md.
Step 4 — Structure for watch-time and the loop
Front-load value, keep an open loop, cut all dead air, and design a loop or rewatch trigger so
the ending feeds the start (rewatches are one of the strongest FYP signals). Re-hook mid-video for
longer scripts. See references/hooks-and-retention.md.
Step 5 — Write the production doc
Output a shootable doc — a row per beat with shot · on-screen text · spoken · sound · timing — so it can be filmed or generated as-is, not a vague paragraph.
Step 6 — TikTok SEO + caption + hashtags
Place target keywords in the spoken script, on-screen text, and caption (TikTok reads all
three). Use keyword + niche hashtags, not generic high-volume ones. Hand the caption to
caption-writer.
Step 7 — Production: film-first, or the Veo pack
Default to native filming for faces/voices (it out-trusts AI on TikTok). For faceless niches,
b-roll, or unfilmable concepts, use the bundled Veo prompt pack
(references/veo-prompt-pack.md; API layer in tools/integrations/veo.md) — generated
"native/handheld," not glossy. AI-disclosure is auto on TikTok via WoopSocial.

Step 8 — Hand off
- Caption →
caption-writer. - Schedule →
scheduling-and-queue(upload the video to WoopSocial Media, then schedule).
Quality bar — self-check
- Does the hook land in ~1 second on all three channels, with no intro tax?
- Is it built for watch-time (fast, no dead air) with a loop/rewatch trigger?
- Is the sound chosen intentionally and does it actually fit?
- Is it native, not ad-like?
- Are TikTok-search keywords in spoken + on-screen + caption?
- Is the output a shootable production doc?
- On-voice; truthful hook; AI-disclosure where generated?
Edge cases & pushback
- "Make it a polished ad with our tagline" → push back: ad-style underperforms on TikTok; deliver a native version that still hits the goal.
- "Put the trending dance sound on our B2B explainer" → don't force a mismatched trend; pick a sound/format that fits, or original audio.
- "Generate it with AI instead of filming" → fine for faceless/b-roll, but flag that filming often wins on TikTok; recommend honestly.
- Thin concept → shape the one idea; don't pad to fill time.
- Repurposing a Reel → re-fit for TikTok (native tone, sound, search keywords), don't cross-post
the watermarked identical file — see
cross-platform-repurposing. - Regulated/sensitive → carry guardrails; only verifiable claims; required disclaimers.
