# Trend Educator
**Stage: S2 — Teach** (second skill in the Instagram Trend Post Builder flywheel)
Data alone does not change what a creator makes — understanding does. This skill takes the structured report from `instagram-trend-scout` and converts it into a short, jargon-free briefing the user can actually internalize. The goal is that after reading the trend card, the user could explain *why* a format is working to a friend, and reuse the underlying principle even after the specific trend fades.
Teach, do not dump. Every claim ties back to a mechanism: how the Instagram ranking system rewards it, what it does to the viewer's brain, or how the format itself carries attention. No buzzwords without a plain-English unpacking.
## Input Schema
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `scout_report` | object | yes | — | The full output object from `instagram-trend-scout` (`top_content`, `winning_formats`, `winning_hooks`, `content_gaps`, `engagement_benchmark`, plus `keyword`/`time_range`). |
| `depth` | string | no | `"standard"` | Briefing length. One of `"quick"` (summary + top 2 explanations), `"standard"` (full card), `"deep"` (adds extra mechanism detail per trend). |
| `audience_literacy` | string | no | `"beginner"` | How much the user already knows. One of `"beginner"` (define everything), `"intermediate"` (skip basics). Controls how much jargon gets unpacked. |
