# TikTok shop cross border Human Guide

## What This Is For
Expand internationally with TikTok Shop. It gives the agent a clearer input/output frame for conversion optimization: what context to ask for, what decisions to make, and what usable artifact to return.

Use this as a human-readable version of the TikTok shop cross border agent skill. It is meant for marketers, operators, founders, and other non-coders who want the workflow without reading agent-specific implementation instructions.

## When To Use This
- Use this when you need a repeatable process for TikTok shop cross border.
- Use this when the task needs judgment, examples, constraints, or a clear output format rather than a one-off prompt.

## When Not To Use This
- Do not use this when you only need a quick factual answer.

- Any source material the assistant should respect, such as notes, briefs, examples, URLs, or brand guidance.
