ClawHub TikTok & Douyin Skills Directory: Skills for Video Publishing, Trend Tracking & Shop Automation
TikTok is one of the largest short-video platforms globally, and its Chinese counterpart Douyin runs on a separate but parallel ecosystem. Together, they account for dedicated skills on ClawHub — making this one of the more fragmented verticals on the platform, split roughly between English-language TikTok tools and Chinese-language Douyin tools.
The data tells a clear story: hot trend fetching and video downloading dominate install counts, while TikTok Shop and carousel creation are emerging categories with real demand but thin coverage.
Note: Install and download figures in text descriptions reflect stats at the time of writing and may be outdated. All skill tables are live — they fetch current data from the ClawHub database on every page load. Treat table values as authoritative.
Data Overview
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total dedicated skills | 94 |
| With installs (≥1) | 51 (54%) |
| Zero installs | 43 (46%) |
| Installs ≥ 10 | 5 |
| Top by installs | douyin-hot-trend () |
| Top by downloads | postiz () |
One structural note: postiz and upload-post are multi-platform social schedulers that include TikTok among 28+ channels. Their high download counts reflect general social media scheduling demand rather than TikTok-specific use.
1. Multi-Platform Schedulers (TikTok Included)
These aren't TikTok-specific, but they're the highest-installed tools in this category precisely because they solve a broader problem: schedule and publish across multiple platforms from one place.
| # | Skill | Downloads | Installs | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | postiz | 10,445 | 51 | A |
| 2 | upload-post | 9,804 | 42 | A |
| 3 | publora-tiktok | 1,543 | 6 | B |
If you need TikTok as one of several platforms you publish to, upload-post (19 installs) or postiz (18 installs) are the pragmatic choices — battle-tested, actively maintained, and not limited to one platform.
2. Hot Trends & Data (Douyin/TikTok)
The most-installed TikTok/Douyin-specific skill on the entire platform is a hot trend fetcher. This says something important: data access beats content creation when it comes to actual use.
| # | Skill | Downloads | Installs | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | douyin-hot-trend | 10,751 | 100 | A |
| 2 | douyin-hot | 3,897 | 21 | A |
| 3 | tiktok-crawling | 5,092 | 16 | A |
| 4 | douyin-hot-trend-1 | 1,565 | 6 | B |
| 5 | douyin-trends | 1,323 | 4 | B |
| 6 | hotsearch | 1,305 | 2 | B |
| 7 | tiktok-scraper | 735 | 2 | B |
douyin-hot-trend with 40 installs is the runaway leader in this vertical and in the broader TikTok/Douyin category. The use case is direct: content creators and marketing teams pull the daily hot list to find trending topics before producing content.
douyin-hot-trend-1 appears to be a near-duplicate — zero differentiation in description, much lower install count. Skip it.
3. Video Download
A predictable cluster given TikTok/Douyin's short-video format. Most focus on watermark-free downloads — which is a legitimate workflow for content repurposing, archiving, and analysis.
| # | Skill | Downloads | Installs | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | douyin-downloader | 7,893 | 58 | A |
| 2 | douyin-video-fetch | 4,618 | 42 | A |
| 3 | save-douyin-video-to-feishu-drive | 1,903 | 16 | B |
| 4 | douyin-video-downloader | 2,275 | 14 | B |
| 5 | douyin-download | 2,405 | 13 | B |
| 6 | douyin-video-download | 1,234 | 11 | B |
| 7 | bulk-tiktok-downloader-skill | 1,447 | 4 | B |
| 8 | tiktok-video-analyzer | 1,829 | 4 | A |
| 9 | douyin-download-v2 | 1,185 | 4 | B |
douyin-video-fetch (18 installs) leads this group by a wide margin. The Feishu Drive integration in save-douyin-video-to-feishu-drive is a nice example of vertical-specific workflow design — common in Chinese enterprise setups.
The pattern of 5+ near-identical "download and extract watermark-free" skills mirrors what you see in every other media platform category on ClawHub. Install count is the only useful signal here.
4. Video Publishing (Dedicated)
Direct publishing to TikTok or Douyin creator platforms, distinct from multi-platform schedulers.
| # | Skill | Downloads | Installs | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | douyin-publish | 7,512 | 54 | A |
| 2 | douyin-video-publish | 2,740 | 16 | B |
| 3 | tiktok-uploader | 2,566 | 7 | B |
| 4 | tiktok-page | 1,208 | 7 | B |
| 5 | douyin-publisher | 1,251 | 5 | B |
| 6 | fast-douyin-publish | 934 | 3 | B |
| 7 | douyin-upload-skill | 975 | 1 | B |
douyin-publish (22 installs) is the clear leader — uses browser automation for the upload workflow, which is the practical approach given TikTok/Douyin's restrictive official API.
TikTok's official API for content publishing requires developer approval and has significant rate limits. Most publishing skills here use browser automation (Playwright/CDP) as a workaround, which is reliable but prone to breaking when the platform updates its UI.
5. Content Creation & Scripts
Tools focused on generating scripts, hooks, captions, and strategic content — without publishing.
| # | Skill | Downloads | Installs | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | tiktok-growth | 4,731 | 26 | B |
| 2 | tiktok-ads | 3,479 | 12 | B |
| 3 | tiktok | 2,206 | 10 | B |
| 4 | douyin-cover-builder | 5,795 | 8 | B |
| 5 | tiktok-short-video | 2,259 | 7 | B |
| 6 | douyin-sensitive-check | 978 | 7 | B |
| 7 | douyin-creator-cn | 1,382 | 6 | B |
| 8 | tiktok-motivation-video | 1,246 | 6 | B |
| 9 | tiktok-video-scripts | 510 | 0 | C |
douyin-sensitive-check is worth highlighting: it runs a local violation/sensitive word check against Douyin's content policies before publishing. If you're producing Douyin content at volume, catching policy violations before submission (not after) is valuable. It uses a community-maintained word list auto-updated from GitHub.
6. Video Analysis & Transcription
Download-then-transcribe is a common workflow for content repurposing, competitive analysis, and research.
| # | Skill | Downloads | Installs | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | douyin-video-analyst | 5,245 | 33 | B |
| 2 | douyin-video-analyzer | 2,280 | 13 | C |
| 3 | douyin-keyword-search | 1,741 | 11 | B |
| 4 | douyin-transcribe | 1,234 | 5 | A |
| 5 | douyin-transcribe-skill | 1,132 | 3 | B |
| 6 | douyin-video-transcribe | 912 | 1 | B |
These skills work in sequence: download → transcribe → analyze. Most require Playwright or a local transcription pipeline.
7. Carousels & Slideshows
An emerging TikTok format — photo carousels with text overlays — has generated its own cluster of skills.
| # | Skill | Downloads | Installs | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | tiktok-slideshow | 910 | 3 | B |
| 2 | tiktok-overlay | 652 | 2 | B |
| 3 | skill-tiktok-ads-video | 691 | 1 | B |
| 4 | picasso-tiktok | 709 | 1 | B |
| 5 | g0atbot-tiktok-carousel | 8,559 | 0 | C |
Install counts are low across the board, suggesting the format is popular with users but the tooling still isn't polished enough for broad adoption. g0atbot-tiktok-carousel has 934 downloads but 0 installs — classic "tried once, couldn't get it working" pattern.
8. TikTok Shop & Commerce
TikTok Shop is growing fast, and the skills ecosystem is starting to reflect it.
| # | Skill | Downloads | Installs | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | tiktok-ads | 3,479 | 12 | B |
| 2 | tiktok-viral-marketing | 2,849 | 9 | A |
| 3 | tiktok-shop-publish | 1,001 | 4 | B |
| 4 | tiktok-shop-automation | 833 | 2 | B |
| 5 | tiktok-shop-creator-fit-scorer | 628 | 1 | B |
| 6 | tiktok-affiliate-roi-calculator | 554 | 0 | C |
The commerce tools have low installs relative to downloads — TikTok Shop API access requires merchant account approval and region availability, which creates a high drop-off rate between download and actual use.

The TikTok / Douyin Split
One pattern worth noting: roughly half the skills in this category are in Chinese and target Douyin specifically, not TikTok international. They run on the Chinese creator platform (creator.douyin.com), use Chinese-language APIs, and are designed for Chinese content workflows.
This isn't just a language difference — Douyin and TikTok have separate content policies, separate recommendation algorithms, separate creator monetization systems, and separate API access models. A Douyin publishing skill won't help you publish to TikTok, and vice versa.
The clearest skills in the Douyin-specific camp: douyin-hot-trend, douyin-publish, douyin-video-fetch, douyin-creator, douyin-sensitive-check.
The clearest TikTok-international skills: tiktok-crawling, tiktok-growth, tiktok-ads, tiktok-uploader, tiktok-trend-radar.
Most of the multi-platform schedulers (postiz, upload-post) handle both but treat them as separate destinations.
