JK Archivist TikTok Skill

Generate deterministic, text-driven 6-slide portrait slideshow assets for TikTok-style content.

What This Skill Is For

Use this skill when you want:

• Repeatable 6-slide visual posts without external image generation
• Consistent dimensions and readable layout for short-form platforms
• A simple contract: input slide copy -> validated PNG outputs + caption text
• A base that can later plug into draft upload workflows (for example via Postiz)

Typical use cases:

• Brand or creator intro slides
• Educational mini explainers
• Product update snapshots
• Story-driven announcement sequences

Quick Start

1. Install dependencies:
   • python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Optional font override:
   • export TIKTOK_FONT_PATH=/absolute/path/to/font.ttf
3. Run:
   • node scripts/tiktok-intro-draft.mjs

Custom input modes:

• Use your own 6-slide copy file:
  • node scripts/tiktok-intro-draft.mjs --spec /absolute/path/to/spec.json
• Ask the agent to generate copy from a topic:
  • node scripts/tiktok-intro-draft.mjs --topic "your topic"
• Optional Postiz draft upload:
  • node scripts/tiktok-intro-draft.mjs --postiz

Advanced modes:

• --template intro|educational|product-update|announcement
• --style default|high-contrast|clean|midnight
• --audience beginner|operator|expert
• --cta-pack follow-focused|link-focused|engagement-focused
• --hashtag-policy tcg-default|general

Customization Matrix

Preset: JK Archivist Intro (Exact Contract)

Objective

Generate a deterministic 6-slide TikTok intro slideshow (PNG) + caption and (optionally) upload as a TikTok draft/private post using Postiz. Human publishes manually after selecting trending sound.

Draft/Private Upload Rules (Optional)

• privacy_level = SELF_ONLY
• content_posting_method = UPLOAD

Slide Copy (Exact)

1. The trading card market runs on messy data.
2. Prices fragment. Condition drifts. Signals lie.
3. Collectors make real decisions on incomplete info.
4. JK Index = market intelligence for TCGs.
5. Truth first. No guessing. Built in public.
6. Alpha today. Compounding weekly. Brick by brick. 👑🧱

Caption Template (Exact)

TCG prices look certain — until you zoom in. JK Index is building the truth layer: clean IDs, real comps, market signals. Follow if you want collector-first market intelligence. 👑🧱
