## What it does

The skill uses Apify scrapers to inspect a competitor’s TikTok presence. It gathers account metrics and recent posts, then surfaces high-view videos, publishing frequency, recurring hashtags, content themes, and engagement signals.

Its workflow covers five stages: collect account handles, run `tiktok-profile-scraper`, fetch videos with `tiktok-scraper`, detect content patterns, and produce a strategy report. The result can include views, likes, comments, shares, caption hooks, format categories, and posting-rate calculations.

\`APIFY_TOKEN` must be available in the environment or in `.env`. Without it, `run_actor.js` cannot start an actor; an installed Apify MCP server enables runs through `apify:run-actor`.
