What it does

Kol Content Monitor is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Track what key opinion leaders (KOLs) in your space are posting on LinkedIn and Twitter/X. Surfaces trending narratives, high-engagement topics, and early signals of emerging conversations before they peak. Chains linkedin-profile-post-scraper and twitter-mention-tracker. Use when a marketing team wants to ride trends rather than create them from scratch, or when a founder wants to know which topics are resonating with their audience.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.meta.json`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Web scraping and Resume and CV writing. It works with X (Twitter) and LinkedIn. The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A marketing team wants to ride trends rather than create them from scratch
  • A founder wants to know which topics are resonating with their audience

Example prompts

  • “/kol-content-monitor”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in APIFY_API_TOKEN

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Intake
  2. Scrape LinkedIn Posts
  3. Scrape Twitter/X Posts
  4. Topic Clustering
  5. Output Format
  6. Build Trigger-Based Content Calendar

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • linkedin.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • APIFY_API_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Kol Content Monitor loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 500 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~115
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

KOL Content Monitor

Track what Key Opinion Leaders in your space are writing about. Surface trending narratives early — before they peak — so your team can join the conversation at the right time with relevant content.

Core principle: For seed-stage teams, the fastest path to content distribution is riding a wave that's already breaking, not creating one from scratch.

When to Use

  • "What are the top voices in [our space] posting about?"
  • "What topics are trending on LinkedIn in [industry]?"
  • "I want to know what content is resonating before I write anything"
  • "Track [list of founders/experts] and tell me what they're saying"
  • "Find trending narratives I can contribute to"

Phase 0: Intake

KOL List
  1. Names and LinkedIn URLs of KOLs to track (if known)
    • If unknown: use kol-discovery skill first to build the list
  2. Twitter/X handles for the same KOLs (optional but recommended for full picture)
  3. Any specific topics/keywords you care about? (for filtering noisy feeds)
Scope
  1. How far back? (default: 7 days for weekly monitor, 30 days for first run)
  2. Minimum engagement threshold to include a post? (default: 20 reactions/likes)

Save config to the current working directory as kol-monitor.json (or user-specified path).

json
{
  "kols": [
    {
      "name": "Lenny Rachitsky",
      "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/lennyrachitsky/",
      "twitter": "@lennysan"
    },
    {
      "name": "Kyle Poyar",
      "linkedin": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylepoyar/",
      "twitter": "@kylepoyar"
    }

  "days_back": 7,
  "min_reactions": 20,
  "keywords": ["GTM", "growth", "AI", "outbound", "founder"],
  "output_path": "kol-monitor-[DATE].md"
}

Phase 1: Scrape LinkedIn Posts

Run linkedin-profile-post-scraper for all KOL LinkedIn profiles:

bash
python3 skills/linkedin-profile-post-scraper/scripts/scrape_linkedin_posts.py \
  --profiles "<url1>,<url2>,<url3>" \
  --days <days_back> \
  --max-posts 20 \
  --output json

Filter results: only include posts with reactions ≥ min_reactions.

Phase 2: Scrape Twitter/X Posts

Run twitter-mention-tracker for each handle:

bash
python3 skills/twitter-mention-tracker/scripts/search_twitter.py \
  --query "from:<handle>" \
  --since <YYYY-MM-DD> \
  --until <YYYY-MM-DD> \
  --max-tweets 20 \
  --output json

Filter: only include tweets with likes ≥ min_reactions / 2 (Twitter engagement is lower than LinkedIn).

Phase 3: Topic Clustering

Group all posts across all KOLs by topic/theme:

Clustering approach:
  1. Extract the main topic from each post (1-3 word label)
  2. Group similar topics together
  3. Count: how many KOLs touched this topic? How many total posts?
  4. Rank by: total engagement (sum of reactions/likes across all posts on that topic)

This surfaces topics with broad consensus (multiple KOLs talking about it) vs. individual takes.
