TikTok Audience Insights

Turn real TikTok data into a read on what is working: which videos in your niche are exploding and why, what a competitor is posting, and what your commenters keep saying. The read layer sees actual play counts and comments instead of guessing.

One honest limit: TikTok keeps the list of who liked a video private (only counts). The engagement signal here is commenters + video performance, which is where the niche's questions and objections live.

When to use

• "What is trending in [niche] on TikTok / analyze this hashtag"
• "What is [competitor] posting / analyze their profile"
• "Read the comments on this video"
• "Which sounds and hooks are working right now"

Not for writing a script (use tt-hook-scripter) or a caption (use tt-caption-writer).

Setup (optional)

The read layer uses Apify (no login). Free token at https://console.apify.com/account/integrations, set APIFY_TOKEN. Video scanning is about $1.70 per 1,000, comments about $0.50 per 1,000. No token? Paste the videos or comments and the skill runs the same analysis. On claude.ai, where a skill cannot hold a token, add Apify's MCP server as a custom connector instead and call clockworks--tiktok-scraper / clockworks--tiktok-comments-scraper, applying the mapping in ../../references/mcp-read-layer.md. With neither, the skill asks you to paste what you can see.
