# Trend Educator Data alone does not change what a creator makes - understanding does. This skill converts a structured instagram-trend-scout report into a short, jargon-free briefing the user can internalize: after reading the trend card, they could explain why a format works to a friend and reuse the underlying principle after the specific trend fades. The costly mistake it prevents is blind imitation - copying a trending format without its mechanism, which produces content that mimics the surface and misses the engine. The rule throughout: teach, do not dump. Every claim ties back to a mechanism - how the ranking system rewards it, what it does to the viewer's attention, or how the format itself carries the message. No buzzword ships without a plain-English unpacking. ## Operating procedure ### Step 1: Gather and validate inputs - scout_report (required): the full output object from instagram-trend-scout - top_content, winning_formats, winning_hooks, content_gaps, engagement_benchmark, plus the keyword and time range. If it is missing, empty, or malformed, stop and say: "There is no trend report to explain yet - run instagram-trend-scout first, or paste its output here." Never invent trends. - depth (default "standard"): "quick" = summary plus top 2 explanations; "standard" = full card; "deep" = extra mechanism detail per trend. - audience_literacy (default "beginner"): "beginner" = define everything; "intermediate" = skip basics.
