TikTok quietly launches a standalone TikTok Shop app

TikTok has launched a standalone TikTok Shop app featuring personalized recommendations, live stream shopping, and in-app checkout. Simultaneously, a free MIT-licensed TikTok skill for Claude Code has been released. This tool allows agents to transform notes and clips into finished videos, verify content against posting rules, and schedule posts. Compatible with Codex, Cursor, and OpenClaw, the skill operates locally using Python, Pillow, and ffmpeg, removing the need for a paid API for creators.
