Social Trend Radar

Research public social-media and web trends, compare signals across platforms, summarize trend opportunities, and produce safe bilingual trend briefs without scraping private data or bypassing platform rules.

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.
