Trend Discovery
Overview
Find trends worth acting on. This skill is for social media trend research across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Pinterest, and other public sources. The output should separate real evidence from vague "this is trending" claims.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user asks to:
- find trends in a niche or category
- discover trending TikTok sounds, hashtags, creators, or videos
- find trending Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts ideas
- build a weekly trend brief
- decide what content formats or angles to jump on

Workflow
- Define niche, country/region, platform, and time sensitivity.
- Pull trend/discovery/search results from 2-4 relevant sources.
- Normalize evidence: post URL, creator, metric, date, topic, sound/hashtag if present.
- Cluster into trends by topic, format, hook, sound, meme, or audience problem.
- Rank trends by evidence strength and relevance, not raw views alone.
- Translate each trend into content ideas the user can actually make.
