Plan, write and build a TikTok photo-mode slideshow (carousel of up to 35 images at 1080×1920 or 1080×1440) with its caption, then publish it with the PostOnce TikTok MCP. Use when the user asks for a TikTok slideshow, photo mode post, TikTok carousel, slideshow maker, or to turn a list, guide, thread or article into TikTok slides.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.

Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 18
Use one size for every slide.
- Distinctive: line 34
Put the payoff on the slides, not only in the caption.
- Distinctive: line 40
If the user already has images, check the count (35 max), format (JPEG or WEBP) and order.
- Very specific: line 46
Write it with tiktok-caption-generator: the search phrase in the first line, one line on what the slides deliver, 3–5 hashtags.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
TikTok slideshow maker
TikTok photo posts show images the viewer swipes through. This server publishes 1 to 35 images per post, JPEG or WEBP, up to 20 MB each. It can't mix photos and video in one post, and it can't choose the sound: TikTok adds music to photo posts automatically. If the user wants a specific sound, post with publish_mode: "draft" and pick it in the app.
Sizes
- 1080×1920 (9:16): fills the screen. Default.
- 1080×1440 (3:4): leaves room around the image; good for photos and screenshots.
Use one size for every slide. Keep text in the middle of the frame, clear of the top edge and the bottom fifth, where the caption and buttons sit.
Plan the slides
Most slideshows work at 5–10 slides. Write the plan before any design:
| Slide | Job | Words |
| 1. Cover | The hook. Names the viewer, a number or the result. Must make someone swipe. | 10 or fewer |
| 2–N. Body | One point per slide, numbered if it's a list. | 8–25 each |
| Last | The takeaway, or one ask (save it, follow for more). | 12 or fewer |
Rules that hold up:
- Big, high-contrast text. It must be readable on a phone without zooming.
- Same layout, font and color on every slide so it reads as one piece.
- Real photos, screenshots and examples beat stock images.
- Put the payoff on the slides, not only in the caption.
Making the images
If the environment can render HTML to images (headless Chrome or Playwright), build each slide as a fixed-size HTML page at 1080×1920 (or 1080×1440) and screenshot it as JPEG, since TikTok photo posts don't accept PNG. Otherwise, hand the user the slide text and layout notes for their design tool, with the export size and format.
If the user already has images, check the count (35 max), format (JPEG or WEBP) and order.
Upload each image with create_upload_url and pass the public URLs in slide order as media (all type: "image") in create_post. The first image is the cover.
Caption
Write it with tiktok-caption-generator: the search phrase in the first line, one line on what the slides deliver, 3–5 hashtags. Keep it under 2,200 characters. For a draft, platform_options.title (up to 90 characters) sets the photo post title.
Output
Return the slide plan (number, headline, supporting text, visual note), the size, then the caption. Once the images exist, offer to publish or schedule with the postonce skill; confirm the TikTok account, the time and privacy before calling create_post.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
