Riffkit — riff winning TikTok videos into your own

Don't copy. Riff. Riffkit takes a winning short video, studies its formula — the hook, the pacing, the emotional beats — and generates a brand-new video around your product, your character, and your story. It never re-uploads the source clip; what comes out is your own original.

This is the official Riffkit agent skill. Add it to your AI assistant (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, …) and just say "riff this TikTok into mine" — your agent drives the whole pipeline. Or use it in the browser at riffkit.ai.

Watch an agent do it

A real Claude Code session — one sentence, one “ok”, and minutes later a finished video with caption, hashtags, and a strategy recap (the render wait is compressed by one title card). Walkthrough with sound: riffkit.ai/skill.

Quick start (from your agent)

Point your AI coding assistant at the live skill and let it set itself up:

Read https://riffkit.ai/SKILL.md and follow the instructions to set up Riffkit.

Then just ask, in plain language:

riff https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/123 into a video for my product, in Spanish

Your agent handles the rest: source → formula → new footage → your product & character → captions, cover, hashtags.

The SKILL.md in this repo is a readable mirror — your agent always reads the live, canonical https://riffkit.ai/SKILL.md.

See it in action

Every clip below was riffed from one winning short video — the source is never re-uploaded, so each result is an original.

Works with

~/.agents/skills is the shared skill root several harnesses scan, so the DSH line above also registers Riffkit anywhere else that reads it. Verified against DSH's own dsh-skill-filesystem provider: discovered, frontmatter parsed, full body loaded, no changes to the skill required.

No MCP server to run, no local models — the skill is a thin layer over Riffkit's hosted backend.

What you get

• Riffs the formula, not the footage — studies a proven video's hook, pacing, and beats, then generates new footage. The source clip is never re-uploaded, so the result is your own original.
• Your product, woven in — a physical item or an app screen, placed into the story the format calls for (not bolted onto a generic stock avatar).
• A consistent character — your own avatar and persona across every video, or Auto (no avatar needed).
• English or Spanish — native phrasing and the right fonts, not a translated subtitle laid on top.
• Post-ready — voiceover, on-screen captions timed to the audio, a cover frame, and a caption with hashtags.
• Ad-ready — the same riff doubles as UGC-style ad creative for TikTok Ads & Meta Ads, batched so the testing engine never runs dry.
• Any look — real footage, cartoon, or game-style; the music ducks under the voiceover so it reads as real, not AI.
• Full commercial rights — everything you make is yours to post, run as ads, and monetize.

Examples

Short, real walkthroughs — the prompt you give your agent and what comes back:

• Riff a proven format for your product
• Localize a winning video into Spanish
• Any look — real, cartoon, or game / CG
• Run a faceless account on Auto

FAQ

Do I need an account? Yes — Riffkit is hosted; generating videos needs a Riffkit account, billed by the second of finished video.

Which agents work? Any assistant that can read a URL and make HTTP calls — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, and more. There's no MCP server to run.

What languages? English and Spanish — native phrasing and fonts, not a translated subtitle laid on top.

Is my source video re-uploaded? No. Riffkit studies the formula and generates new footage; the source clip is never re-hosted, so the output is your own original.

Do I own what I make? You get full commercial rights — post it, run it as ads, monetize it.

Do I need a GPU or local setup? No. Rendering runs on Riffkit's servers.

Requirements

Riffkit is a hosted service: the skill is a thin layer that calls the Riffkit backend, and rendering happens on Riffkit's servers — no local GPU, models, or setup. Generating videos requires a Riffkit account (billed by the second of finished video). Create one at riffkit.ai.

Who it's for

TikTok Shop & e-commerce sellers, performance marketers running TikTok & Meta ad creative, indie founders and makers marketing what they built, and faceless-account operators — anyone who has to keep posting short-form video.
