TikTok Research#
Use this as the TikTok research entrypoint when the user wants public TikTok evidence for a growth, marketing, creator, audience, competitor, or paid creative decision.
TikTok music/archive download is not part of the released public surface. Apply
shared rulebook and user-guidance rules from postplus-shared.
When a supported command completes but evidence is empty, sparse, noisy,
off-topic, or the wrong record type, apply the postplus-shared reference
research-quality-recovery.md; hard execution errors still fail fast.
Reference Index#
Always apply references/shared-contract.md before running a route.
| User asks for | Apply |
|---|---|
| Brand account, competitor account, profile health, account comparison | references/account-and-competitor-audit.md |
| Organic examples, hooks, hashtags, formats, competitor videos, related videos | references/organic-benchmark.md |
| Comments, audience voice, objections, FAQ, phrase bank, buyer language | references/audience-voice.md |
| Creators, UGC makers, KOL/KOC, profile enrichment, creator shortlist | references/creator-discovery.md |
| Paid ads, paid hooks, CTA, offers, region/objective ad examples | references/paid-ads.md |
| Product demo fit, ecommerce angle, buyer objection, content-to-offer fit | references/product-content-fit.md |
| Launch campaign, hashtag challenge, branded activity, competitor campaign | references/campaign-scout.md |
| Market, region, language, cross-border localization, local angle comparison | references/market-localization-scout.md |
| Profile facts only | Apply references/shared-contract.md, then run a bounded tiktok-profiles or tiktok-users lookup |
| Mixed paid and organic | Run separated paid and organic lanes; never fill one lane with the other |
| Shop, LIVE, private analytics, backend audience, GMV, conversion, hidden contacts, exact targeting, spend, ROAS | Stop or ask for a supported public TikTok scope |
| Music/archive download or audio extraction | Not provided on the current public surface. Say so and stop; analyze user-provided local files through media-router instead |
| Cross-platform request | Run only the TikTok lane here; hand off other platforms |
First Question#
Ask one question only when the answer changes platform, route, public/private boundary, first-pass scope, or output shape.
| Missing | Ask |
|---|---|
| Platform | Which platform should I use first? |
| TikTok seed | Please give one TikTok seed: keyword, hashtag, profile, video URL, competitor, product, creator criteria, or paid-ad scope. |
| Account audit without account | Send the TikTok handle/profile URL, or tell me the brand and closest competitors to use as search seeds. |
| Ecommerce fit without product | What product, audience, market, or offer should I test against TikTok evidence? |
| Campaign scout without campaign seed | Send one campaign hashtag, slogan, brand profile, competitor, launch term, or example video. |
| Localization without market | Which market or language should I compare first? |
| Audience voice without videos | Send public TikTok video URLs, or give a keyword, hashtag, profile, or competitor so I can build a shortlist first. |
| Creator discovery without seed | Give one niche, product, hashtag, competitor, customer type, video URL, or collaboration goal. |
| Paid ads without scope | What paid scope should I sample: category, competitor, region/language, objective, hook, offer, or keyword? |
| Private/backend request | This needs public evidence. Should I continue with public TikTok examples instead? |
Do not ask for credentials, private exports, retry strategy, cookies, or music archive details.
Run Discipline#
- Route the request with the table above.
- Apply
references/shared-contract.md. - Apply the selected workflow reference.
- Run the narrowest collection chain that can answer the first pass.
- Stop after the first pass and report scope, evidence, limits, and next action.
Result record shapes for every research route are documented in the
postplus-shared reference dataset-item-schemas.md; consult it before
writing result-processing code, and probe a single record only to verify.
Do not present a public sample as full TikTok truth. Do not use paid ads as organic creator evidence. Do not use organic videos as paid ad proof. Use only the filters shown by the selected route.
For local testing, optimize for a fast real first pass. Use the route cards in
references/shared-contract.md; do not inspect fixtures or product mappings.
Public Command Boundary#
- Choose the smallest matching command or workflow from the user input and run it directly.
- Readiness diagnostics:
postplus doctor --skill tiktok-research. - If an owned CLI or script command fails, report the exact error and stop. Do not bypass the failure with metadata-only answers, readiness probing, local payload rewrites, alternate services, or unpublished tools.
- Inspect a route with
postplus research run <route> --helponly when its semantic flags are not already clear. - Run
postplus research run <route> --<query/url/handle/hashtag flags> --limit <n> --wait --output <result.json>. - Keep the first pass bounded; expand only after inspecting the first result.
- If the CLI returns a quote-confirmation challenge, run
postplus quote confirm --json --challenge-file <challenge.json>and retry with the returned token.
