The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 7.2/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 7b59fb8

Ran the bundled client for real: api_searcher.py correctly found /api/v1/tiktok/web/fetch_user_profile from the local OpenAPI spec, but api_client.py's 'default token for development' came back 401 Invalid API token, and even the no-auth health check 403'd (Cloudflare blocks the script's bare urllib User-Agent) — the discovery half works, the call half needs your own paid TikHub key despite the docs implying otherwise.

What TikHub API Helper does

Searches a bundled 2.4MB OpenAPI spec to find the right TikHub endpoint (TikTok, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, Bilibili, Weibo, Zhihu, and more) and shows required parameters. Triggers when a user asks to fetch or search social media data by platform name. The endpoint discovery is real and grounded, but the bundled 'default token for development' is invalid and the shipped client gets Cloudflare-blocked even on the no-auth health check, so making an actual API call requires the user's own paid TikHub account.
