## What it does

The skill automates creator discovery for brand campaigns. It triggers `apidojo~tiktok-scraper` across product review hashtags to collect candidate accounts. Then `apidojo~tiktok-profile-scraper` retrieves profile metrics, recent posts, and interaction counts.

Each profile receives a score calculated from engagement rates, view-to-follower ratios, and niche relevance. Filters discard official company profiles, flag isolated viral spikes, and drop accounts inactive for over 60 days. The final roster formats candidates into tiered tables.

Without the `APIFY_TOKEN` environment variable, the scrapers cannot run. The workflow supports the Apify MCP server, the `run_actor.js` helper script, and direct REST calls.
