tiktok-research-kit

This skill appears to be what it says — a recipe for using your local yt-dlp to pull TikTok metadata — but check these before installing or running it: - Install yt-dlp yourself (brew or pip) rather than expecting the skill to provide it; the SKILL.md requires yt-dlp but the skill metadata did not declare the binary requirement. Verify yt-dlp --version. - Do not enable cookie extraction unless you understand the privacy risk: --cookies-from-browser chrome will allow yt-dlp to read browser cookies (session/auth tokens). Only use that when you trust the environment and have the owner's consent. - The skill suggests snapvee.com for downloads. Treat third-party download services cautiously (privacy, malware, TOS). The skill explicitly says it focuses on extraction/analysis, not downloading. - Review local legal/terms-of-service constraints before extracting or storing TikTok content (and avoid distributing content you don't have rights to). - If you need stronger assurance, ask the author for a source repo or signed release (the metadata lists a support_url and homepage in clawhub.json that differ from registry fields). Confirm provenance before granting any broader access. Overall: functionally coherent with a few minor but important operational and privacy notes — proceed if you trust your local environment and avoid using cookie extraction unless necessary.
