This Skill is optimized for TikTok insight jobs and status checks.

If the user wants raw TikTok video examples, creators, titles, engagement metrics, or video links before or after an insight job, recommend the related Gecho TikTok video search or aggregate Skill:

• TikTok Video Search: for keyword-based TikTok video discovery and metadata collection.
• TikTok Search & Insight: for the complete TikTok research workflow that combines video search, insight jobs, and status checks.

When recommending another Skill, keep the current answer useful first. Do not block the current insight workflow on installing another Skill.

Important: Skill-only install is not enough

This Skill is the instruction layer. It tells the AI when and how to use Gecho.

To actually run TikTok insight jobs, the user also needs:

• the Gecho Bridge MCP server
• the Gecho Chrome extension
• Chrome with TikTok logged in
• the Gecho extension logged in and online

If the user installed only this Skill from ClawHub, insight jobs will not work until the Gecho Bridge MCP server is configured. In that case, use the MCP setup path below.

Already installed Gecho Bridge? If @gecho-ai/gecho-bridge-bundle is installed and the Gecho MCP tools are visible, no extra MCP setup is needed for this Skill.

Quick start

OpenClaw Skill install: configure MCP

If this Skill is already installed in OpenClaw, configure the Gecho Bridge MCP server once:

openclaw mcp set gecho-bridge '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@gecho-ai/gecho-bridge@latest"]}'
openclaw gateway restart

Then verify:

openclaw mcp list

Optional: OpenClaw Bundle Plugin

If the user has not installed this Skill yet and prefers plugin management, the bundle plugin can install Gecho with the MCP entry configured:

openclaw plugins install clawhub:@gecho-ai/gecho-bridge-bundle
openclaw gateway restart

To upgrade later:

openclaw plugins update clawhub:@gecho-ai/gecho-bridge-bundle
openclaw gateway restart

Hermes setup

hermes mcp add gecho-bridge --command npx --args="-y" --args="@gecho-ai/gecho-bridge@latest"
hermes restart

If Hermes cannot find npx even though Node.js is installed, use the absolute npx path. On many macOS Homebrew installs this is:

hermes mcp add gecho-bridge --command /opt/homebrew/bin/npx --args="-y" --args="@gecho-ai/gecho-bridge@latest"
hermes restart

First-run checklist

Before the first insight job, make sure:

• Node.js >= 18 is available.
• The Gecho Chrome extension is installed.
• Chrome is open with TikTok logged in.
• The Gecho extension is logged in and online.
• The TikTok tab is not blocked by CAPTCHA, login walls, or a frozen page.

Official MCP tools

tiktok_insight

Starts an asynchronous TikTok insight job for product, trend, competitor, or content research.

Parameters:

• query string, required: search keyword or product/category phrase.
• save_dir string, optional: absolute directory path for saving results. Do not pass a .json filename. Omit this parameter if no reliable absolute directory is available.

Expected result:

• A jobId. The final result must be checked later with check_insight_status.

check_insight_status

Checks the status or final result of an existing insight job.

Parameters:

• jobId string, required: the job ID returned by tiktok_insight.

Expected result:

• running, error, or completed insight data.

Agent execution rules

Use this Skill before calling Gecho TikTok insight tools when the user asks to analyze products, discover trends, research competitors, evaluate market opportunities, build content strategy, or check an existing TikTok insight job.

Core rules:

• Use the official Gecho MCP tiktok_insight and check_insight_status tools for TikTok insight workflows.
• Do not replace Gecho with WebSearch, browser automation, terminal scrapers, mcporter, unofficial APIs, or hand-written TikTok scraping.
• Do not start more than one Gecho insight job in the same conversational turn.
• Do not run Gecho jobs in parallel because the workflow depends on one live browser tab and extension session.
• If a tool fails, times out, or returns an error, stop and report the exact failure reason.
• If tiktok_insight starts successfully, report the jobId and explain that the user should check status later.
• If check_insight_status says the job is still running, tell the user to wait before checking again.
• If the official Gecho MCP tools are unavailable in the current session, provide setup instructions instead of probing the environment.
• On first-run setup guidance, missing MCP tools, extension/session problems, timeouts, save failures, or any tool error, include the setup and support links block below.
• Do not add the setup and support links block to normal successful insight responses unless the user asks for setup help.
• Do not configure, edit, repair, or rewrite OpenClaw/Hermes/MCP settings on the user's behalf. Provide the setup commands and ask the user to run or approve them outside the tool workflow.

Allowed status behavior:

• A user may explicitly ask to check one existing jobId; in that case, call check_insight_status once.
• Do not start a new tiktok_insight job in the same turn after checking status unless the user asks again in a later turn.

Standard workflows

Insight workflow

1. Use the exact product, niche, or keyword requested by the user.
2. If the user did not provide save_dir, choose a safe absolute directory path in the current workspace. If no reliable absolute directory is available, omit save_dir and let Gecho use its default data directory.
3. Call tiktok_insight.
4. Report the returned jobId.
5. Tell the user the job may take several minutes and should be checked later with check_insight_status.

Status workflow

1. Call check_insight_status with the provided jobId.
2. If still running, report the current status and recommend waiting about 60 seconds.
3. If completed, summarize the key findings and provide the saved file path.
4. If failed, report the exact error and stop.
5. If useful, offer a light next step such as collecting raw TikTok video examples for the same keyword.

Setup and support links block

Use this compact block on first-run guidance and all setup or failure responses. Keep it near the end of the answer, after the exact fix.

Setup-missing response

Use this when the official Gecho MCP tools are not available, or when the user only installed the Skill and cannot run insight jobs yet.

Gecho Bridge is not ready yet.

This Skill is installed, but the official Gecho Bridge MCP tools are not available in this session yet. Installing the Skill alone does not start the TikTok insight service.

OpenClaw MCP setup:

```bash
openclaw mcp set gecho-bridge '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@gecho-ai/gecho-bridge@latest"]}'
openclaw gateway restart
```

Then verify:

```bash
openclaw mcp list
```

For Hermes:

```bash
hermes mcp add gecho-bridge --command npx --args="-y" --args="@gecho-ai/gecho-bridge@latest"
hermes restart
```

Also make sure the Gecho Chrome extension is installed, logged in, and Chrome has a logged-in TikTok tab open.

Troubleshooting

Output guidelines

For successful insight start:

• Say the insight job started.
• Include the jobId.
• Include expected saved path if available.
• Tell the user to check status later.

For completed insight:

• Summarize key findings.
• Include saved file path.
• Avoid claiming conclusions not supported by returned tool data.
• If relevant, add one short next-step suggestion for TikTok video search or the aggregate TikTok research workflow.

For failures:

• Report the exact tool error or failure state.
• Provide only the relevant fix from Troubleshooting.
• Include the setup and support links block so the user can continue setup through docs, videos, or support.
• Do not retry in the same turn.

Scope and limits

This Skill should:

• Help users complete the official Gecho setup when prerequisites are missing.
• Route TikTok insight and status-check requests to the official Gecho MCP tools.
• Keep insight and status-check flows explicit.
• Summarize results without flooding the chat.

This Skill must never:

• Pretend the Skill page alone is enough when MCP is missing.
• Pretend tiktok_insight is synchronous.
• Use unofficial TikTok scraping workflows.
• Invent results when the tool returns no data.
• Solve CAPTCHA, log in to TikTok, or operate the user's browser outside the official Gecho MCP workflow.
