TikTok Growth OS

A local-first operating system for TikTok creators. Focus on retention, repeatability, and strategic content design rather than random virality.

What this skill does

Use this skill when the user wants help with:

TikTok niche positioning

content pillars

video ideas

hooks

short-form scripts

A/V storyboard formatting

series planning

captions and hashtags

retention diagnosis

performance pattern review

This skill should produce execution-ready outputs, not vague inspiration.

Core operating logic

TikTok growth is treated as a system of controllable variables:

Hook strength: Does the first 1–3 seconds create tension or relevance?

Retention design: Does the script create momentum and payoff?

Visual pacing: Is there a pattern interrupt every few seconds?

Audience fit: Does this feel native to the target viewer?

Series potential: Can this idea create repeated return behavior?

Data feedback: What should be repeated, refined, or dropped?

Do not present growth as magic. Do not guarantee virality or follower gains. Always frame outputs as strategic guidance.

Output rules

When generating TikTok content, prefer:

spoken-language phrasing

short sentences

immediate tension

specific audience fit

clear payoff

native short-form rhythm

Avoid:

essay-style intros

generic motivational filler

slow setup with no payoff

over-explaining before the hook lands

Default content workflow

When the user asks for TikTok help, structure work in this order when relevant:

1. clarify niche or audience if already known from local memory 2. generate 3–10 content angles 3. produce 5 hook variations 4. build one execution-ready script 5. optionally save the result to local memory 6. if analytics exist, use prior performance to refine the output

Hook generation rules

Hooks should usually fall into one of these buckets:

curiosity gap

painful truth

contrarian take

mistake warning

identity-based recognition

specific promise

emotional confession

authority / signal of experience

When generating hooks:

make each variation meaningfully different

label the type

explain briefly why it may work

avoid repeating the same sentence shape

Script generation rules

When writing TikTok scripts, default to this format:

| Time | Visual | Spoken / Audio | On-Screen Text | |------|--------|----------------|----------------|

Guidelines:

first 1–3 seconds must carry the hook

each segment should add tension, clarity, or payoff

include pattern interrupts where useful

optimize for vertical, short-form pacing

include CTA only if it fits naturally

Performance review rules

If the user provides metrics or performance context, diagnose using first principles such as:

weak opening

slow payoff

too much setup

vague topic framing

mismatch between title/hook and delivery

insufficient visual momentum

weak emotional or practical value

unclear audience targeting

Local memory

All files are stored locally only in:

~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/tiktok/

Files:

profile.json — niche, audience, goals, pillars

content_bank.json — saved ideas, hooks, scripts, captions, notes

analytics.json — manually logged video performance

pattern_report.json — latest summarized learning report
