Trend Discovery
Overview
Find trends worth acting on. This skill is for social media trend research across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, Pinterest, and other public sources. The output should separate real evidence from vague "this is trending" claims.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user asks to:
- find trends in a niche or category
- discover trending TikTok sounds, hashtags, creators, or videos
- find trending Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts ideas
- build a weekly trend brief
- decide what content formats or angles to jump on

Workflow
- Define niche, country/region, platform, and time sensitivity.
- Pull trend/discovery/search results from 2-4 relevant sources.
- Normalize evidence: post URL, creator, metric, date, topic, sound/hashtag if present.
- Cluster into trends by topic, format, hook, sound, meme, or audience problem.
- Rank trends by evidence strength and relevance, not raw views alone.
- Translate each trend into content ideas the user can actually make.

## Caveats
- Public data only.
- Trend evidence is directional unless repeated across sources.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not call something a trend from one post unless the user only asked for examples.
- Do not ignore region. TikTok trends can be highly country-specific.
- Do not recommend jumping on trends that do not fit the user's brand or audience.

reddit-automation
flowkit-labs/skills
Find Reddit threads where people are genuinely asking for what you offer, then draft short, genuinely helpful replies — disclosing your affiliation honestly and naming your product only when it truly answers the question. Two moves: discovery — scan the right subreddits for real needs (recommendation asks, expressed pain, competitor mentions) and rank the few threads where you can actually help; drafting — write from real experience, respect each community's self-promo rules, and keep a human in the loop to review and post. This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
