A Douyin creator's judgment, bottled as an AI skill

What it does

It’s a Markdown-based skill (for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, plus a Bot-prompt version for chat agents like Doubao) that helps you produce Douyin/Xiaohongshu short-video scripts. It starts by figuring out who you are and who you want to attract, then fuses your actual circumstances with patterns extracted from viral videos into a script you can read on camera. It also handles titles, series planning, post-mortems, and de-AI-flavoring.

The interesting bit

The source material isn’t prompt-engineering folklore — it’s the oral post-mortems of 柳爷 (“柳爷不迷糊”), a working Douyin creator, explaining why each video decision was made and what the audience was thinking at each step. The skill’s core rule is a decent editorial standard: if a suggestion would still work handed to someone else unchanged, it’s generic filler and gets redone. The README’s before/after egg-seller rewrite is a genuinely persuasive demo of that principle.

Key highlights

• Seven modules (对标拆解, topic decision chain, series planning, hooks, full drafts, titles, monetization) orchestrated by a dispatcher that reads where you currently are — no fixed workflow.
• Seven core judgments, e.g. “icebreak before everything” and “show what attracts who you want,” applied throughout.
• A user-profile mechanism: it interviews you once, then reuses the confirmed profile so you don’t re-explain yourself.
• Ships its own linter (ai_tell_linter.py) that scans skill text for fake-comparison AI-isms, with an allowlist for legitimate cases.
• Honest about provenance: creator’s self-reported reasoning, explicitly not claim-by-claim causally verified; no promises of views or followers.

Caveats

• Entirely Chinese-language content and methodology; the value depends on Douyin/Xiaohongshu conventions.
• CC BY-NC 4.0 — no commercial use granted.
• Host-agent compatibility isn’t assumed; the README points to a validation doc for tested boundaries.

Verdict

Worth a look if you make Chinese short-form content and are tired of AI scripts that could belong to anyone. If you’re outside that ecosystem or want a general-purpose writing assistant, this is a very specialized furnace.
