media-crawler
Install, authenticate, configure, operate, and troubleshoot the external MediaCrawler client shared by Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili, Weibo, Tieba, and Zhihu collectors. Xiaohongshu uses the separate browser-first xiaohongshu-mcp Collector. Use when auditing this client, onboarding a supported platform account, selecting search/detail/creator modes, enabling comments or media, locating outputs, or diagnosing crawler failures.
npx skills add tsingyuai/growth-lab --skill media-crawler --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# MediaCrawler This is the shared tool layer. Read [operations.md](references/operations.md) before changing the external checkout. Then invoke exactly one platform Skill: - [Douyin](../media-crawler-douyin/SKILL.md) - [Kuaishou](../media-crawler-kuaishou/SKILL.md) - [Bilibili](../media-crawler-bilibili/SKILL.md) - [Weibo](../media-crawler-weibo/SKILL.md) - [Tieba](../media-crawler-tieba/SKILL.md) - [Zhihu](../media-crawler-zhihu/SKILL.md) MediaCrawler does not support Twitter/X or Reddit. Do not imply otherwise. ## Contract 1. If install or authentication is missing, invoke [onboard-growth-lab](../../models/onboard-growth-lab/SKILL.md). Do not duplicate the global audit here. Onboarding must obtain the user's explicit ban-risk acknowledgement before login or crawling, require existing-Chrome CDP with no browser or Cookie fallback, and verify each enabled platform with a non-empty minimal real read. Installation, a persisted profile, or a visible login alone is not readiness. 2. Treat `${MEDIACRAWLER_DIR:-${GROWTHLAB_CLIENT_ROOT:-$HOME/.growth-lab/clients}/MediaCrawler}` as an external checkout. Never vendor it or commit its browser profile, cookies, databases, or downloaded data.

Install, authenticate, configure, operate, and troubleshoot the external MediaCrawler client shared by Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili, Weibo, Tieba, and Zhihu collectors. Xiaohongshu uses the separate browser-first xiaohongshu-mcp Collector. Use when auditing this client, onboarding a supported platform account, selecting search/detail/creator modes, enabling comments or media, locating outputs, or diagnosing crawler failures.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add tsingyuai/growth-lab --skill media-crawler --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From tsingyuai/growth-lab, a repository with 427 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
