Social Media Research Skills

Social Media Research Skills for AI Agents

Practical AI agent skills for social media research, powered by ScrapeCreators.

These skills help agents find outlier posts, mine comments, summarize transcripts, tear down competitors, analyze ad libraries, and turn public social data into useful business artifacts.

This is not just endpoint routing. The goal is to give your AI agent complete research workflows it can run across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, Pinterest, Rumble, ad libraries, and more.

Find the outlier posts for @starterstory on YouTube Shorts from the latest page of videos.

Analyze the transcripts from these 12 TikToks and pull out the best hooks, claims, and reusable content angles.

Mine the comments on this viral Instagram Reel. I want objections, questions, buying intent, and exact audience language.

Compare these five brands on TikTok and Instagram. What formats and topics are working for each one?

Tear down the active Facebook, Google, and LinkedIn ads for this competitor. Give me hooks, offers, CTAs, and what to test.

The workflow skills should use scrapecreators-api as the data layer when they need endpoint details. Each workflow produces a useful artifact, not just raw JSON.

Design Principles

1. Workflow-first, API-second — users ask for a business outcome, not an endpoint.
2. Public-data only — ScrapeCreators extracts public social data. Do not promise logged-in/private data.
3. Cited outputs — include source URLs for posts, videos, ads, and comments whenever possible.
4. Baseline-aware analysis — judge performance against a creator's own normal performance, not only raw vanity metrics.
5. Exact language matters — preserve useful comments, hooks, captions, and transcript quotes verbatim.
6. Keep outputs actionable — end with patterns, recommendations, test ideas, or a CSV when useful.
