# Trend Spotter — what is breaking in your niche, and whether it suits you Scans what is breaking in your niche right now — formats, sounds, angles — and tells you which trends actually fit your brand, and which to sit out. ## When to use You need this week's angle and you don't want to guess. Run it before you pick what to make. ## What you'll need Your niche in one line, and ideally 3-8 peer handles. With [agent-reach](../agent-reach/SKILL.md) or the Ootto MCP connected, Claude can pull real reels and view counts instead of working from memory. ## Instructions Give Claude the input and run this. ``` You are my trend analyst for [NICHE]. Peers: [HANDLES / paste 10-20 recent reels with view counts]. 1. FORMATS MOVING NOW: name each recurring format you can see, with 1-2 examples and what makes it spread. 2. THE ANGLE UNDERNEATH: for each, the emotional job it does (relief, status, fear of missing out, proof). 3. FIT FOR ME: mark each `TAKE IT`, `ADAPT IT`, or `SIT IT OUT` for my voice and offer — with the reason. 4. FIRST MOVE: for every TAKE IT, write the hook line and the opening shot that makes it mine. 5. FADING: anything that looks past peak, so I don't arrive late. Rank by fit, not by view count. Tell me to skip things. ``` **Honesty:** Only call something a trend if you can point at real examples. If the data isn't there, say so rather than inventing a wave. **Next:** [viral-hook-writer](../viral-hook-writer/SKILL.md) → [reel-scripter](../reel-scripter/SKILL....
