What it does

This skill describes a macOS-based scraper that automates Google Chrome via AppleScript to export video performance XLSX files from the Douyin (creator.douyin.com) Creator Center. It provides step-by-step operational guidance, health checks, download handling, and robust failure-mode detection so the scraper can run reliably under launchd or cron. Concrete outputs include parsed Excel rows for plays, watch rates, likes, shares, and follower deltas.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need periodic exports of Douyin creator video metrics for analytics, automated reporting, or syncing to downstream systems (databases, Feishu). It's intended for macOS hosts where Chrome is available and the user can grant AppleScript JavaScript access.

What's included

Scripts: guidance references to douyin_hourly.py, feishu_sync.py, and other helper scripts in the repo (export, parsing, and sync flows).
References: detailed troubleshooting notes on macOS TCC, launchd, and download directory configuration.
Instructions: explicit AppleScript/js snippets, download polling patterns, PK header validation for xlsx detection, and schema suggestions for video_stats.

Audit Summary

Douyin Creator Center scraping skill for macOS, using AppleScript to automate Chrome and Python to parse xlsx exports. Very thorough SKILL.md with 11 documented pitfalls, troubleshooting tables, and step-by-step flow. The bundled JS script is a simple browser-side data extractor. Script execution was skipped (.js not runnable standalone). Niche tool — macOS + Chrome + Douyin only.

Watch Out

Requires macOS with Chrome logged into creator.douyin.com
AppleScript JS execution must be enabled in Chrome and resets frequently
Changes Chrome's global download directory via defaults write
Very long SKILL.md (~3000 words) could benefit from references/ split

Notes

Well-documented scraping automation tool. No malicious intent — no exfiltration, no credential theft, no destructive commands. The skill is narrowly scoped to Douyin creator data extraction. Security deductions for Chrome global settings modification and browser session automation. Architecture is functional but monolithic.
