Social Media Data Extraction

Follow shared public skill rules in:

• postplus-shared public skill rules

Use this skill only as a high-level entry point when the user asks for cross-platform public data extraction and has not named a platform-specific workflow yet.

This file is intentionally lightweight. Platform-specific collection logic lives elsewhere:

• TikTok: skills/20-research/tiktok-research/SKILL.md
• TikTok music archive downloads: skills/20-research/tiktok-music-archive-downloader/SKILL.md
• TikTok music chain: postplus-shared TikTok music workflow
• TikTok ads: skills/20-research/tiktok-ad-research/SKILL.md
• Instagram creator discovery: skills/20-research/instagram-creator-discovery/SKILL.md
• Instagram accounts: skills/20-research/instagram-account-research/SKILL.md
• Instagram content benchmark: skills/20-research/instagram-content-benchmark/SKILL.md
• Instagram audience voice: skills/20-research/instagram-audience-voice/SKILL.md
• Instagram campaign scouting: skills/20-research/instagram-campaign-scout/SKILL.md
• X: skills/20-research/x-research/SKILL.md
• YouTube: skills/20-research/youtube-research/SKILL.md
• Facebook: skills/20-research/facebook-research/SKILL.md

Core Rule

Do not run generic collection actors by default from this skill.

Instead:

1. identify the platform
2. route into the dedicated platform skill
3. let that skill choose the actor, input shape, normalization, and analysis flow

PostPlus Runtime Rule

This skill is for deciding the first research path, not for staying as a permanent execution layer. Once the route is clear, move into the narrowest useful platform skill and keep the work there.

In the PostPlus runtime, downstream platform access follows postplus-shared public skill rules.

When This Skill Is Appropriate

Use it when the user says things like:

• "Collect social media data for trend analysis"
• "Do a cross-platform content study"
• "Inspect TikTok, Instagram, and X"
• "First help me decide which platform fits this topic best"
• "I want to understand this brand's status across different social platforms"

When This Skill Is Not Appropriate

Do not stay in this skill when the request is already specific, for example:

• TikTok creator discovery
• TikTok benchmark or comments research
• TikTok sound-specific video collection or music archive download
• Instagram account enrichment
• X account or tweet research

Route immediately to the narrower skill.

Output Expectation

If multiple platforms are involved, return a merged research package with:

• raw/ per platform
• normalized/ per platform
• one platform-specific summary per platform
• one merged comparison summary only after each platform has been normalized first

If the user wants to keep moving after research, the next layer should depend on the output:

• creator shortlist or partnership path -> skills/10-routing/creator-discovery-router or skills/50-publishing/creator-outreach
• strategy or concept handoff -> skills/40-creative/benchmark-to-brief
• publishing or distribution execution -> only after the content is already packaged into publish-ready copy, assets, or approved deliverables
