What it does
Tiktok Video Publishing is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. The TikTok VIDEO publish-config skill. Use when someone wants to "publish/schedule a TikTok video," "configure a TikTok upload," set the caption/cover/privacy/duet-stitch/disclosure, or post a TikTok video via WoopSocial (postType VIDEO). Configures the publish for reach, discovery, and compliant disclosure AND writes the search-optimized caption: the caption is search (lead-load the primary keyword), duet/ stitch ON is free distribution, the cover frame wins the profile grid + search, and the disclosure flags…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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/publish-config-and-recipes.md` and `references/scope-and-connections.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video scripts and shorts and OKRs and executive reporting. 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
- Someone wants to publish/schedule a TikTok video
- Configure a TikTok upload
- Set the caption/cover/privacy/duet-stitch/disclosure
- Post a TikTok video via WoopSocial (postType VIDEO)
Example prompts
- “publish/schedule a TikTok video,”
- “configure a TikTok upload,”
- “/tiktok-video-publishing”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- brand-profile — voice/niche (and the search phrasing the audience uses).
- goals-and-kpis — the goal (reach / saves / shop conversions).
- the script/video (often from tiktok-script) — the topic to optimize the caption around.
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 Video Publishing loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 262 tokens; SKILL.md has 609 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.

- description
- The TikTok VIDEO publish-config skill. Use when someone wants to "publish/schedule a TikTok video," "configure a TikTok upload," set the caption/cover/privacy/duet-stitch/disclosure, or post a TikTok video via WoopSocial (postType VIDEO). Configures the publish for reach, discovery, and compliant disclosure AND writes the search-optimized caption: the caption is search (lead-load the primary keyword), duet/ stitch ON is free distribution, the cover frame wins the profile grid + search, and the disclosure flags (isBrandedContent/isYourBrand) are set truthfully. Uses the REACH framework. Reads brand-profile + goals-and-kpis + the script/video first. The VIDEO FILE is filmed by a human or made by the video skills (not WoopSocial); WoopSocial publishes via raw-bytes upload and auto-discloses AI on TikTok; trending sound / pinned comment / replies are native or human; no update endpoint (edit = delete+recreate); metrics never fabricated. Distinct from tiktok-script (the VIDEO SCRIPT) and tiktok-photo-mode (PHOTO).

tiktok-video-publishing
A format-execution skill — configure the TikTok VIDEO publish for reach + discovery + compliant
disclosure and write the search-optimized caption. The agent configures the publish + writes the
caption; the video FILE is an input; WoopSocial publishes via postType=VIDEO and auto-discloses
AI on TikTok.
The POV: the publish config is the most controllable reach layer
The script gets filmed once, but the publish config is set at upload and is the most controllable reach/
SEO layer. Four levers: the caption is search (TikTok is a search engine; only the first ~100–150
chars show — lead with the primary keyword, not a teaser); duet/stitch ON is free distribution (others
remixing your video grows its engagement cluster); the cover frame wins the profile grid + search; and
disclosure (the isBrandedContent/isYourBrand flags) keeps you compliant. The video file is an
input — this skill makes it land correctly and get found.
Read these first
- brand-profile — voice/niche (and the search phrasing the audience uses).
- goals-and-kpis — the goal (reach / saves / shop conversions).
- the script/video (often from tiktok-script) — the topic to optimize the caption around.
The framework: REACH
(Depth: references/the-reach-framework.md.)
- R — Rank the caption: lead-load the primary keyword (first ~100 chars) → value-prop → secondary keywords + niche hashtags; long-tail; mirror in on-screen text.
- E — Engage-open settings:
allowComment/allowDuet/allowStitchON for reach (restrict only for genuine brand-safety). - A — Attract with the cover: a legible title-card
coverimage (the video's cover/thumbnail) that wins the profile grid + search. - C — Confirm disclosure:
isBrandedContent/isYourBrandtruthfully, #ad up front; AI auto-disclosed on TikTok but prohibited AI uses stay prohibited; branded content can't be private. - H — Handle mode + specs + validate:
privacyLevelfrom platform-inputs;DIRECT_POSTvsMEDIA_UPLOAD(trending sound); 1080×1920 9:16, ≤1GB, cap frommaxVideoPostDurationSec; validate; no update → delete+recreate.
The reality (verify-quarterly)
Caption-as-search (first ~100 chars, long-tail, Google surfacing, hashtag lift, pinned-comment = native);
duet/stitch/comments as reach levers; cover wins profile grid + search; privacy + disclosure (branded vs
your-brand, AI labels/prohibited uses, branded-can't-be-private); specs + length + DIRECT_POST vs
MEDIA_UPLOAD (trending sound): references/video-publishing-2026-reality.md. Caption-SEO formula,
reach-settings defaults, the full VIDEO publish-config block + worked examples:
references/publish-config-and-recipes.md.

Honest scope (never violate)
- The agent configures the publish + writes the caption. The video FILE is filmed by a human or made
by the video skills (
veo-3/luma/kling+ edited) — WoopSocial doesn't film/edit/generate video. - WoopSocial publishes via
postType=VIDEO(raw-bytes upload) and auto-discloses AI on TikTok. No update → edit = delete + recreate (only whileNOT_STARTED). - Native/human: pinned comment + replies (no comment surface) and licensed trending sound (use
MEDIA_UPLOAD). Disclosure truthful; prohibited AI uses stay prohibited; branded content can't be private. Never promise the FYP/virality; never fabricate metrics (native analytics only). (Scope, distinctions + connections:references/scope-and-connections.md.)
Distinct from its siblings (route correctly)
tiktok-video-publishing (this) = the VIDEO publish-config + search caption (duet/stitch/cover apply; autoAddMusic ignored) · tiktok-script = writes the VIDEO SCRIPT (the content) · tiktok-photo-mode = the PHOTO carousel (autoAddMusic applies; duet/stitch/cover don't) · reels-script/youtube-shorts = other video formats · caption-writer/hook-writer = generic copy.
Where this connects
Reads first: brand-profile, goals-and-kpis, the script/video (tiktok-script). Content
inputs (external to WoopSocial): tiktok-script, the video cluster (veo-3/luma/kling) +
editing, image-prompt/ideogram/nano-banana (cover frame), hook-writer/caption-writer.
Publish: scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial (postType=VIDEO), platform-specs-and-validation
(validate + field rules), content-calendar. Engage/reuse/measure: community-management (pinned
comment + replies), content-recycling (→ Reels/Shorts), analytics-and-reporting, experimentation-and-ab-testing
(A/B caption/cover). Filming/editing, trending sound, and comments stay external/native.
Definition of done
A search-optimized caption (primary keyword lead-loaded, value-prop, secondary keywords + niche hashtags, mirrored in on-screen text); reach settings open (comment/duet/stitch ON unless brand-safety); a legible title-card cover frame; truthful disclosure flags with #ad up front (and AI auto-disclosed, prohibited AI uses excluded, branded never private); the full WoopSocial VIDEO config (postType VIDEO, privacyLevel from platform-inputs, postMode chosen, specs right) validated before publish; the video file produced externally, WoopSocial publishing postType VIDEO with AI auto-disclosure, edits via delete+recreate, trending sound/pinned comment/replies left native, nothing fabricated and no promised FYP; correctly distinguished from tiktok-script and tiktok-photo-mode.
