What it does

Tiktok Ads is an agent skill from thatrebeccarae/claude-marketing. TikTok Ads platform expertise. Audit campaigns, creative strategy, audience targeting, Spark Ads, TikTok Shop integration, pixel/Events API setup, and performance optimization. Use when the user asks about TikTok advertising, short-form video ads, TikTok Shop, Spark Ads, or social commerce advertising.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `EXAMPLES.md` and `REFERENCE.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Paid advertising and Video production. It works with TikTok. The repository describes itself as: A full marketing department for Claude Code. Skill packs for Klaviyo, Shopify, GA4, Looker Studio, paid media, and more. Audit, optimize, and report using natural language. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about TikTok advertising
  • Short-form video ads
  • Social commerce advertising

Example prompts

  • “/tiktok-ads”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Hook in first 3 seconds — the scroll-stopping moment. Use text overlay, unexpected visual, or direct address ("Stop scrolling if you...")
  2. Native aesthetic — look like a TikTok, not an ad. Phone-shot, real people, trending sounds
  3. Sound on — 93% of TikTok is consumed with sound. Music and voiceover are critical
  4. Vertical video — 9:16 only. Never letterboxed horizontal
  5. Text overlays — 73% of top-performing ads use on-screen text
  6. Fast pacing — Cut every 2-3 seconds. Static shots die
  7. Creator-led > brand-polished — UGC-style consistently outperforms studio creative

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a8a63ec. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Tiktok Ads loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 579 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

Creative Best Practices

The TikTok Creative Formula
Hook (0-3s) → Value/Story (3-15s) → CTA (last 3s)
  1. Hook in first 3 seconds — the scroll-stopping moment. Use text overlay, unexpected visual, or direct address ("Stop scrolling if you...")
  2. Native aesthetic — look like a TikTok, not an ad. Phone-shot, real people, trending sounds
  3. Sound on — 93% of TikTok is consumed with sound. Music and voiceover are critical
  4. Vertical video — 9:16 only. Never letterboxed horizontal
  5. Text overlays — 73% of top-performing ads use on-screen text
  6. Fast pacing — Cut every 2-3 seconds. Static shots die
  7. Creator-led > brand-polished — UGC-style consistently outperforms studio creative
Creative Fatigue
  • Refresh every 7-14 days (TikTok audiences fatigue 2-3x faster than Meta)
  • Maintain 3-5 active creatives per ad group
  • Test new hooks on proven body/CTA structures
  • Monitor frequency: >3 weekly = fatigue risk

Targeting

Interest & Behavior
  • Interest categories (broader, for prospecting)
  • Video interaction (liked, commented, shared similar content)
  • Creator interaction (followed similar creators)
  • Hashtag interaction (engaged with relevant hashtags)
Custom Audiences
  • Website traffic (Pixel)
  • App activity
  • Customer file (email/phone upload)
  • Engagement (video views, ad interaction, profile visits)
  • TikTok Shop (shoppers, cart abandoners)
Show full SKILL.md (237 more words)Show less
Lookalike Audiences
  • Based on any custom audience source
  • Broad/Narrow/Balanced options
  • Minimum source: 1,000 users
Smart Targeting
  • Automatic audience expansion when optimization allows
  • Works well for conversion campaigns with sufficient data
  • Requires 50+ conversions per week for optimal learning

  • Events API configured alongside pixel
  • Budget allows 50+ conversions per week per ad group (for learning phase)
  • Creative refreshed within last 14 days
