tiktok-research · postplusai — Claude Code skill: TikTok research
The skill pulls public TikTok evidence — videos, comments, profiles, paid ads — for a marketing decision. It runs through the postplus CLI.
npx skills add PostPlusAI/postplus-skills --skill tiktok-research -a claude-codeWhat tiktok-research does
The skill reads your request, infers the decision behind it, and picks a route. Organic examples go through tiktok-videos, comments through tiktok-comments, profiles through tiktok-profiles, paid examples through tiktok-ads-top. Each route maps to a reference file: account audit, organic benchmark, audience voice, creator discovery, paid ads, campaign scouting, market localization.
Everything runs from the command line: postplus research run <route> --<flags> --limit <n> --wait --output result.json. Flags are semantic and differ per route. When the flags or bounds are unclear, the skill points you at postplus research run <route> --help. Batches with different inputs are saved separately.
The boundaries are strict. Shop data, LIVE, private analytics, GMV, conversions, exact targeting, spend and ROAS are out of scope — the skill stops or asks you to narrow the request to public evidence. Music downloads and audio extraction are out too; local files go through media-analysis. Paid ads run with --limit only, no keyword, brand or market targeting. Worth checking against your task before you plan around it.
