What it does
The skill sets up and runs the `douyin-favorites-knowledge` CLI. `setup` asks for the knowledge base folder and the transcription method and opens the official Douyin page for sign-in. `sync` finds new favorites, writes a Markdown note per video and keeps a ledger so repeated runs create no duplicates. Speech transcription has three options: the SiliconFlow SenseVoice cloud (recommended for Douyin CDN video), Alibaba Bailian or local Whisper. There is an Obsidian mode with templates and a 23:00 daily digest, plus Feishu notifications. The list of likes is read only on explicit request and is never mixed with favorites.
Who it is for. People who save useful clips on Douyin and want to search them as text in Obsidian or a plain Markdown folder.
Good fit when
- Douyin favorites grew to hundreds of clips and a specific tip is no longer findable.
- A daily digest of newly saved videos in Obsidian is needed.
- Speech transcription must run locally without cloud services.
- Notes about saved videos should arrive in Feishu together with a sync report.
Not a fit when
- Access to someone else's account or saved videos is needed; the skill only handles yours.
- Bulk video downloads without signing in are wanted.
- Policy forbids cloud transcription and the machine cannot run local Whisper.
Example request
Sync my favorite Douyin videos into an Obsidian folder, transcribe through SiliconFlow and set up the daily digest at 23:00.Limitations
Python 3.10 or newer and Chrome, Edge or Playwright Chromium are required. Sign-in happens in a browser with a separate local profile, and cookies stay in that profile rather than in the config file. Cloud transcription needs your own SiliconFlow or Bailian key, and audio tracks go to the service server. Douyin links carry hotlink protection, so requests send a Referer header. The Douyin interface changes, and collecting favorites may break when it does. The README and messages are in Chinese.
How to disable. Delete the skill folder and the package, then the browser profile created by `setup`. Notes in your knowledge folder remain.
FAQ
How do I install the skill?
Agents with ClawHub install it with `clawhub install douyin-favorites-to-knowledge`. The program itself comes from Gitee: clone the repository and run `python -m pip install .` in a virtual environment.
Do I need to provide cookies manually?
No. `setup` opens the Douyin page, you sign in yourself, and cookies stay in a separate local browser profile.
Which transcription should I choose?
SiliconFlow SenseVoice by default: it works with Douyin CDN links. Bailian fetches the link on the cloud side and often fails for Douyin, while local Whisper is free but loads the machine.
How can I check what a sync would do?
Run `douyin-favorites-knowledge sync --dry-run`: it lists new items and writes nothing.
What happens if an author changes a nickname?
The item is skipped and the rest sync. `sync --list-drift` lists them, and auto-update is enabled with `drift_policy` in `config.json`.

README in short
The project turns videos saved on Douyin into portable Markdown notes without Obsidian plugins. Only favorites are collected by default, and the 23:00 daily task is created by the agent if it has a scheduler.
