Larry — Autonomous TikTok Slideshow Agent

Automatically generates and posts TikTok slideshows for affiliate content sites. Inspired by the "Larry" viral slideshow format (8M views in one week).

What this skill does

1. Research — Identifies viral hooks and trending topics in your niche
2. Ideation — Creates 6-slide concepts linked to your affiliate articles
3. Image Generation — Generates 6 consistent images via NVIDIA FLUX (free tier)
4. Text Overlay — Adds hook text (Slide 1) + subtitles to each image
5. Posting — Uploads as draft/scheduled post to TikTok via Postiz (self-hosted)
6. Learning — Logs performance data, adapts hook formulas over time

Requirements

• Postiz self-hosted (free) or Postiz cloud
• NVIDIA API key (free tier at build.nvidia.com — includes FLUX image generation)
• TikTok account(s) connected via Postiz

• 6 slides exactly
• Slide 1: Large hook text + background image
• Slides 2–5: Tips / facts / content
• Slide 6: CTA → "Link in Bio" → article on your site
• Caption: Story-style, natural mention of site, max 5 hashtags
• Image style: realistic lifestyle photography look

Cost

• Image generation: €0 (NVIDIA free tier, FLUX.1-schnell)
• Postiz self-hosted: €0 (Docker, runs locally)
• 2 posts/day × 30 days = €0/month running cost

Performance Tracking

All posts logged to ~/.openclaw/skills/larry/logs/performance.json. Larry adapts: high-performing hook formulas → more of those, poor ones → phased out.
