## What it does

The skill handles the publish config and the caption copy. It does not film or edit anything: the video file comes from a human or from separate video skills, and WoopSocial uploads it as raw bytes with `postType=VIDEO`, auto-disclosing AI on TikTok's side.

It follows the REACH framework. The caption is treated as search, so the primary keyword leads, followed by the value proposition and secondary keywords with niche hashtags. `allowComment`, `allowDuet` and `allowStitch` stay on for reach, a legible title-card cover carries the profile grid, and the `isBrandedContent` and `isYourBrand` flags get set truthfully. Before any of that, the skill reads `brand-profile`, `goals-and-kpis` and the script or video.

One sharp edge: WoopSocial has no update endpoint. Editing a published post means deleting and recreating it, and only while the status is `NOT_STARTED`. Trending sound, the pinned comment and replies stay native or human work, metrics are never fabricated, and the skill makes no promise about landing on the For You feed.

  The TikTok VIDEO publish-config skill. Use when someone wants to "publish/schedule a TikTok video,"
  "configure a TikTok upload," set the caption/cover/privacy/duet-stitch/disclosure, or post a TikTok video
  via WoopSocial (postType VIDEO). Configures the publish for reach, discovery, and compliant disclosure
  AND writes the search-optimized caption: the caption is search (lead-load the primary keyword), duet/
  stitch ON is free distribution, the cover frame wins the profile grid + search, and the disclosure flags
  (isBrandedContent/isYourBrand) are set truthfully. Uses the REACH framework. Reads brand-profile +
  goals-and-kpis + the script/video first. The VIDEO FILE is filmed by a human or made by the video skills
  (not WoopSocial); WoopSocial publishes via raw-bytes upload and auto-discloses AI on TikTok; trending
  sound / pinned comment / replies are native or human; no update endpoint (edit = delete+recreate);
  metrics never fabricated. Distinct from tiktok-script (the VIDEO SCRIPT) and tiktok-photo-mode (PHOTO).

# tiktok-video-publishing

A **format-execution skill** — configure the TikTok VIDEO publish for reach + discovery + compliant
disclosure **and** write the search-optimized caption. The agent **configures the publish + writes the
caption**; the **video FILE is an input**; **WoopSocial publishes via `postType=VIDEO`** and auto-discloses
AI on TikTok.

## The POV: the publish config is the most controllable reach layer
The script gets filmed once, but the **publish config is set at upload and is the most controllable reach/
SEO layer.** Four levers: the **caption is search** (TikTok is a search engine; only the first ~100–150
chars show — lead with the primary keyword, not a teaser); **duet/stitch ON is free distribution** (others
remixing your video grows its engagement cluster); the **cover frame wins the profile grid + search**; and
**disclosure** (the `isBrandedContent`/`isYourBrand` flags) keeps you compliant. The **video file is an
input** — this skill makes it **land correctly and get found.**

## Read these first
1. **brand-profile** — voice/niche (and the search phrasing the audience uses).
2. **goals-and-kpis** — the goal (reach / saves / shop conversions).
3. the **script/video** (often from **tiktok-script**) — the topic to optimize the caption around.

## The framework: REACH
