About this skill

Problem

When a video is shared from Douyin, Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu, or Bilibili, browser right-click save often points to page resources instead of a usable local file. Manually copying cookies and diagnosing anti-scraping failures makes the workflow tedious.

How It Works

The skill wraps yt-dlp around share-link handling: it accepts short links or full URLs, extracts the video URL from share text, and saves the result locally.

  • Platforms: Douyin, Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili.
  • Auth: for restricted videos, it can read cookies from an already signed-in chrome, edge, firefox, or other supported browser.
  • Output: defaults to ./downloads, with an option to choose another directory.

Limits

It targets personal downloads from a signed-in browser. Public videos usually need no cookie; private, age-gated, or fan-only videos require browser login and a closed browser to avoid database locks. It is not a bulk task manager, proxy pool, or full media processing stack.

Use Cases

  • A user sends a Douyin share link to the assistant and wants a locally playable MP4 saved.
  • A content operator sees a competitor's Xiaohongshu video note and needs the xhslink URL downloaded to a local folder.
  • An editing team saves a Bilibili BV video locally for re-cutting, even when the link carries a long share caption.
  • An engineer debugging yt-dlp hits a private Kuaishou video and reads the login cookie from a closed Chrome.

Best For

  • A content operator who archives competitor Douyin clips weekly into a reference library
  • An editor who re-cuts Bilibili videos locally and avoids exporting cookies by hand
  • A backend engineer debugging private Kuaishou video downloads with yt-dlp
  • A social media editor who saves Xiaohongshu note videos for topic research
