tiktok-ad-research
Research TikTok Creative Center or ad-library style datasets for winning ad patterns, regions, objectives, hook language, and creative signals without mixing paid ads with organic creator discovery.
What this skill does
# TikTok Ad Research Use this skill for paid TikTok ad intelligence, not organic creator or content discovery. Apply shared rulebook and user-guidance rules from `postplus-shared`. ## Task Shapes Use this skill when the user wants to: - find paid TikTok ad creatives that are performing well, - inspect top ads for a category, country, region, language, or objective, - study competitor paid hooks, selling points, and CTAs, - turn ad examples into ad briefs or creative implications. Do not use this skill for creator discovery, community comments research, organic content lane mapping, or TikTok music workflows. ## Collection Key Routing Released hosted collection key: - `tiktok-ads-top`: top paid ad examples and optional ad-level metrics. The hosted input must be a `schemaVersion: 1` execution envelope whose `input` field contains the paid-ad collection request. Primary command: ```bash postplus research collect \ --skill tiktok-ad-research \ --collection-key tiktok-ads-top \ --input <hosted-envelope.json> \ --output <raw-output.json> ``` ## Default Workflow 1. Classify the request into a paid-ad task shape. 2. Build a narrow first-pass request for the category, region, objective, or competitor scope. 3. Wrap the request under `schemaVersion: 1` + `input`. 4. Run the hosted collection and normalize the result into observed ad facts. 5. Separate observed ad facts from inferred creative implications. Keep raw datasets and intermediate files under `.postplus/tiktok-ads/`; keep final shortlists, summaries, or briefs where the user can inspect them. ## Good Output Return top brands or advertisers, dominant objectives, repeated hook and offer language, CTA patterns, region or language scope, duration distribution, and which metrics were actually present in the sample. ## Failure Modes - Stop if the request is organic creator/content research; route to `tiktok-research` instead. - Stop on missing required input, unsupported key, missing auth, unavailable hosted service, or stable network failure. - Do not invent fallback execution paths, private backend calls, or web-search replacements for paid ad collection. ## Handoff - Organic TikTok benchmark comparison -> `tiktok-research`. - Ad creative review after humans inspect outputs -> `creative-qa`. - Shot-level or spoken-line breakdown -> `video-analysis`. ## Public Command Boundary - Choose the smallest matching command or workflow from the user input and run it directly. - Readiness diagnostics: `postplus doctor --skill tiktok-ad-research`. - If an owned CLI or script command fails, report the exact error and stop. Do not bypass the failure with metadata-only answers, readiness probing, local payload rewrites, fallback providers, or unpublished tools. - Use `postplus research schema --collection-key tiktok-ads-top --json` only when constructing or repairing an unknown request shape. - Hosted collection: `postplus research collect --skill tiktok-ad-research --collection-key tiktok-ads-top --input <hosted-envelope.json> --output <collection-result.json>`. - Resume a pending collection: `postplus research collect --run-handle <runHandle> --output <collection-result.json>`. - Keep the first pass bounded; expand only after inspecting the first result. - If the CLI returns a quote-confirmation challenge, run `postplus quote confirm --json --challenge-file <challenge.json>` and retry with the returned token.

rpg-migration-analyzer
IncludedAnalyzes legacy RPG (Report Program Generator) programs from AS/400 and IBM i systems for migration to modern Java applications. Extracts business logic from RPG III/IV/ILE source code, identifies data structures (D-specs), file operations (F-specs), program dependencies (CALLB/CALLP), and converts RPG constructs to Java equivalents. Generates migration reports, complexity estimates, and Java implementation strategies with POJO classes, JPA entities, and service methods. Use when modernizing AS/400 or IBM i legacy systems, analyzing RPG source files (.rpg, .rpgle, .RPGLE), converting RPG to Java, mapping data specifications to Java classes, planning legacy system migration, or when user mentions RPG analysis, Report Program Generator, RPG III/IV/ILE, AS/400 modernization, IBM i migration, packed decimal conversion, or mainframe application rewrite.
brand-library-architect
IncludedBuild a complete brand library for a product — visual asset render pipeline, brand documentation set (BRAND, COPY, MANIFESTO, BIOS, FAQ, GLOSSARY, TONE, PRICING), open-source convention files (README, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, CODE_OF_CONDUCT), and a self-contained press kit. This skill should be used when the user asks to "build a brand library / brand kit / press kit / brand assets" for a product, "set up a brand library workflow," "create a positioning manifesto plus visual identity," or any combination of brand documentation + visual asset pipeline. Apply phase-by-phase or run end-to-end. Templates are product-agnostic and use {{TOKEN}} placeholders the skill prompts the user to fill.
writing-tech-post
IncludedAuthors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.
