What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d0807c. 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
Media Crawler Douyin loads about 381 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 146 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
- Collect Douyin competitive evidence with MediaCrawler using keyword search, exact video detail, comments, media, and creator profiles. Use for trend, hook, format, audience-language, or creator research that needs reproducible raw evidence and a documented selection method.
Douyin collection
Follow media-crawler. Require purpose, keywords/links, sample size, date window, comments/media scope, and destination under the invoking Model's Memory.
Build queries across problem, category, and audience. Run --platform dy --type search serially; shortlist on topical relevance, hook/format diversity, recency and engagement. Search cards are discovery evidence only. For exact enrichment, set DY_SPECIFIED_ID_LIST in config/dy_config.py; it accepts full video URLs, URLs containing modal_id, short links, or video IDs. For creators set DY_CREATOR_ID_LIST to profile URLs or sec_user_id, then use --type creator. PUBLISH_TIME_TYPE controls the upstream publish-time filter.
Enable comments or ENABLE_GET_MEIDAS only for the shortlist, then run --type detail. Verify canonical video ID, author, caption, publish time, engagement, media mapping, comment coverage and any truncation. Deduplicate by video ID and retain the discovery query. Stop on login/risk control; never loop retries.
Return raw/copied paths, query and selection rationale, search/detail/creator counts, comment/media coverage, time and upstream commit.
