TikTok Hooks — Communication skill for Claude Code

TikTok Hooks for Claude

A local Claude skill that saves the first 2–3 spoken sentences and actual opening frame from TikTok videos into Markdown or Obsidian.

• Save an individual TikTok link
• Sync unseen videos from a private TikTok collection
• Import only a small initial batch instead of the entire backlog
• Transcribe locally with Whisper
• Read TikTok access from your existing browser session—never from copied passwords or cookie values
• Delete downloaded video and audio after processing
• Optionally schedule daily collection syncs on macOS

Try the zero-install public-link demo at [hookline-blue.vercel.app](https://hookline-blue.vercel.app).

Requirements

• macOS
• Python 3.10 or newer
• A browser whose cookies yt-dlp can read: Chrome, Chromium, Brave, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Opera, or Vivaldi
• Arc is not supported; log into TikTok in one of the supported browsers instead
• `ffmpeg`

Install ffmpeg with Homebrew if needed:

brew install ffmpeg

Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/louisedesadeleer/tiktok-hooks/v1.1.0/install.sh \
  | TIKTOK_HOOKS_BASE_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/louisedesadeleer/tiktok-hooks/v1.1.0 bash

Alternatively, [download v1.1.0](https://github.com/louisedesadeleer/tiktok-hooks/archive/refs/tags/v1.1.0.zip), extract it, and run:

bash install.sh

The installer copies the skill to `~/.claude/skills/tiktok-hooks`, creates an isolated Python environment under `~/.local/share/tiktok-hooks/venv`, and installs `yt-dlp` and local Whisper.

Then ask Claude:

Set up my TikTok hooks skill.

Claude asks where to save your Markdown file and, optionally, which private collection and logged-in browser to use.
