Douyin Comment FAQ Stills

Turn Douyin video comments into one comment FAQ still per picked question. Deliver 4 to 8 stills.

Scope and adjacent routes

Use this Skill when a seller wants FAQ stills that answer public Douyin comments from facts they already wrote.

Route grouped audience language to comment-voc-miner. Route pin screenshot stills to comment-pin-card. Route talking demo replies to douyin-comment-to-demo-clip.

This package reads Douyin comments and makes FAQ stills. It does not post a reply on Douyin. If this connection has no Douyin comment operation, work from pasted lines only.

Collect the questions

Hard inputs are:

• either a public Douyin post link the host can open, or the original comment questions already copied;
• confirmed listing or product facts the seller already wrote (the answer each card may print);
• how many cards the pack should contain, or permission to use the default of 4.

Reuse already-known SKU names, brand palette, and destination. Ask only for a missing hard input. A count outside 4 to 8 is still doable: confirm that pack size and its live cost.

Do not invent a comment, username, like count, price, or answer. An optional brand still is a look reference, not a source for missing answers. File access is not consent.

Inspect every still the seller supplies. Record MIME type, width, height, aspect ratio, byte size, and whether it has an alpha channel. For a local file, upload only through the bundled client after inspection (scripts/mcp_client.py / beatra.assets.upload). Keep the returned artifact id. Never pass a local path to beatra.images.generate, beatra.images.transform, or beatra.images.edit.

Plan the free slot list

Write a labeled question-to-FAQ list before any paid lookup or image. Default four slots unless the seller names another count in 4 to 8. Each slot records the original comment wording, the printed answer from confirmed facts, layout (question, answer, optional footer), canvas, and whether a brand still drives the look.

That list is the free visible result from whatever the seller already pasted. Planning is not approval.

Safe defaults:

• one beatra.images.generate call per slot;
• model: "auto" unless the seller chose a live SKU;
• count 1 per slot;
• square 2K unless the seller named another destination ratio.

Look up comments on their own card

A post link does not authorize a lookup. When the seller wants this connection to read a public Douyin post, follow comment lookup: search, inspect, then show a six-field lookup card and wait:

1. Work — one public Douyin comment page for the named post (beatra.social.execute with the inspected operation_key).
2. Credits — the live price beatra.social.tools.get just returned. Quote that live number, not a remembered one.
3. Count — one prepaid lookup. A share link resolve is its own billed execute. The comment page is a second. The next comment page is another charge.
4. Identity — one new opaque client_request_id per execute.
5. If we stop here — the pasted-question plan remains usable.
6. If the balance is insufficient — relay the official message and its top-up URL exactly. Translate the prose; keep the URL. Do not retry until the seller says they have topped up.

Do not show schema_hash to the seller. A confirmed lookup does not authorize image work. After a terminal lookup, report the payload, task ID, terminal status, and billing.net_charged_credits. A lookup has no model, dimensions, or duration to report.

Confirm generate, then optional transform or edit

Lookup and image work are separate paid stages. Each stage gets its own six-field card and its own opaque client_request_id per slot.

Before generate, call beatra.models.list for text_to_image:

{"capability": "text_to_image"}

Show the generate card and wait:

1. Work — one FAQ still per named slot (beatra.images.generate).
2. Credits — the live text_to_image price just read, times the slot count. Do not reuse a remembered number.
3. Count — one paid generate call per slot. Do not batch several questions into one count.
4. Identity — one new opaque client_request_id per slot.
5. If we stop here — the labeled slot list remains usable.
6. If the balance is insufficient — relay the official message and its top-up URL exactly. Translate the prose; keep the URL. Do not retry until the seller says they have topped up.

Submit each generate slot once through bundled scripts/mcp_client.py. Poll beatra.tasks.get. Read actual image MIME, dimensions, and size, and billing.net_charged_credits.

If the seller wants the accepted cards to follow a brand still, read the live image_to_image card and wait on a separate transform card before beatra.images.transform:

{"capability": "image_to_image"}

Use beatra.images.edit only after the seller accepts a card and asks for a local correction, with that accepted image as images[0]. Read the live image_edit card first:

{"capability": "image_edit"}

Approved generate does not authorize transform or edit.

Review, deliver, and recover

Review that each still prints the picked question and only the confirmed answer. Report only the text the host can actually see. Treat generated small type as a review item, not as a certified listing claim. After each terminal paid task, deliver actual bytes plus MIME, dimensions, and size when present, and billing.net_charged_credits. Do not promise the prepaid estimate is the final charge.

After a returned task_id, poll that task. If the create response is lost, search with beatra.tasks.list and verify with beatra.tasks.get before replay. Reuse an ID only with byte-identical arguments. A changed question, answer, still, model, or canvas is a new card and a new ID. Cancel only when the seller asks.

Execution

Invoke every remote Beatra operation only through this package's bundled scripts/mcp_client.py. Put the MCP tool name after call and send one JSON object on standard input.

python3 scripts/mcp_client.py call beatra.models.list

{"capability": "text_to_image"}

python3 scripts/mcp_client.py call beatra.models.list

{"capability": "image_to_image"}

python3 scripts/mcp_client.py call beatra.models.list

{"capability": "image_edit"}

printf '%s' '{"query":"comments","platform":"douyin","capability_family":"comments"}' | python3 scripts/mcp_client.py call beatra.social.tools.search

printf '%s' '{"prompt":"Create the approved FAQ still for the named comment question. Print only the confirmed answer.","model":"auto","count":1,"canvas":{"type":"preset","tier":"2K","aspect":"1:1"},"client_request_id":"opaque-faq-01"}' | python3 scripts/mcp_client.py call beatra.images.generate

Do not configure or call a host Beatra Connector, and do not use REST/OpenAPI as a fallback.

Account balance

When the user asks how many credits remain or whether a live estimate fits, call beatra.wallet.get. When they ask what was charged, call beatra.wallet.ledger. Both are read-only. Do not invent an account-balance or top-up tool. Do not make wallet.get a required step before every paid submit.

When a model card comes back carrying a top_up block, relay its tiers as the card lists them and in that order. Do not rank them, do not talk one down, and do not pick one for the user. Which tier suits them is their call, made on the wallet page with the whole list in front of them. Never quote a tier from memory.

References by task

• For slot lists, lookup, payloads, and recovery, read Douyin comment FAQ workflow and comment lookup.
• For authorization and the non-billable registration step, read installation and authentication and installation registration.
• For shared task, billing, and connection details, read tasks and results, billing, errors, and recovery, and Bundled MCP Client diagnostics.
• For update guarantees and controls, read automatic updates and safety. For removal, read uninstall and disconnect.

Runtime and safe automatic updates

The bundled client silently checks for a newer release at most once every 24 hours per installation. When a newer version is available, it installs automatically without separate confirmation. It downloads only from the fixed official Beatra discovery and immutable CDN paths for this package, channel, and locale, verifies discovery data, archive, manifest, and every packaged file, and replaces only package-owned files.

Update checks, downloads, verification, replacement, rollback, and recovery fail open: the current installation remains usable and the original command continues. An update failure never authorizes retrying a paid lookup, generate, transform, or edit request. The setting persists for this installation. See automatic updates and safety.

python3 scripts/mcp_client.py update --auto on
