Social Trend Radar

Research public social-media and web trends, compare signals across platforms, summarize trend opportunities, and produce safe bilingual trend briefs without...

Security Scan

The skill's requested resources and runtime instructions match its stated goal of researching public social and web trends; it is an instruction-only skill that requests no credentials or installs and appears internally coherent.

Purpose & Capability

Name, description, and SKILL.md all describe researching public trends. The only required binary is curl, which is reasonable for fetching public pages and feeds. No unrelated credentials, binaries, or config paths are requested.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are scoped to public sources (trending pages, RSS, Google Trends, subreddit hot pages, news) and explicitly forbid accessing private credentials, bypassing logins, or scraping behind protections. This is coherent, but enforcement depends on the agent following the non-executable prose — there is no code to enforce these rules, so the behavior relies on correct adherence to the guidelines.

Install Mechanism

No install spec or code files are present (instruction-only). This is the lowest-risk install pattern and matches the skill's purpose.

Credentials

The skill requires no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is proportionate to a public-trends research tool.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent system presence or modification of other skills. Autonomous invocation is enabled by default but is not combined with any broad credential access.

Assessment

This skill is internally consistent: it only asks the agent to consult public sources and does not request credentials or install code. However, it is instruction-only, so safe behavior depends on the agent following the written rules (do not bypass logins, avoid private data). Before installing, consider: 1) only allow it to use official APIs or user-provided exports when possible; 2) do not supply passwords, cookies, or private exports to the skill; 3) be cautious about legal/ToS issues if you ask it to crawl high-volume pages — prefer official endpoints or ask for a dataset export; and 4) the skill source is listed as unknown and homepage is clawhub.ai — if provenance matters, verify the publisher before trusting outputs or granting broader access.

Use this skill when the user wants to discover, compare, or summarize current trends from public social platforms, news, search interest, creator communities, or niche web communities.

Primary outcomes

Produce one of these outputs based on the user request:

1. Trend brief — short ranked list of current trends with evidence and recommended content angles.
2. Platform comparison — what is trending across TikTok, X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Google Trends, or public news.
3. Content plan — hooks, titles, hashtags, posting ideas, and risk notes.
4. Arabic/English trend report — bilingual summary for Arabic-speaking creators or brands.

Safety and compliance rules

• Use only public pages, official APIs, RSS feeds, search results, or user-provided exports.
• Do not request or use passwords, cookies, session tokens, private API keys, or stolen data.
• Do not bypass logins, paywalls, rate limits, CAPTCHAs, robots.txt restrictions, or platform anti-scraping controls.
• Do not run obfuscated commands, downloaded scripts, cryptocurrency wallet tools, credential scanners, or browser-profile extractors.
• Never collect personal data about private individuals. Focus on aggregate trends, public creators, brands, topics, keywords, hashtags, and content formats.
• If a platform blocks automated access, stop and ask the user for an official export, API access, or public URL list.

Recommended workflow

1. Clarify the target:

   • Platform(s): TikTok, X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Google Trends, news, forums, or all public web.
   • Market/language: global, US, GCC, Kuwait, Saudi, Arabic, English, gaming, AI, fashion, etc.
   • Time window: today, this week, last 30 days.
   • Goal: viral content, product ideas, game asset ideas, YouTube ideas, ad angles, or brand research.

2. Gather public signals:

   • Check official trending pages, platform search pages, public hashtags, RSS feeds, subreddit hot pages, news results, and Google Trends when available.
   • Save source URLs and timestamps.
   • Prefer multiple weak signals over one unsupported claim.

3. Score each trend from 1–5:

   • Velocity: is it rising now?
   • Relevance: does it fit the user’s niche?
   • Saturation: is there still room to post?
   • Monetization: can it create sales, leads, downloads, or views?
   • Risk: legal, brand safety, misinformation, privacy, or platform-policy concerns.

4. Produce the report:

   • Rank 5–10 trends.
   • Include evidence, why it matters, who should use it, content ideas, hashtags/search terms, and cautions.
   • Mark anything uncertain as uncertain.
   • Separate facts from recommendations.
