What it does
Trend Spotter is an agent skill from hamzafarooq/claude-code-starter. Research emerging trends in a market or technology space. Returns signal vs noise breakdown with evidence. Use when the user asks what's changing in a market, what trends to watch, or what's coming next.
Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks whats changing in a market
- What trends to watch
- Whats coming next
Example prompts
- “s changing in a market, what trends to watch, or what”
- “/trend-spotter”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 172c531. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Trend Spotter loads about 430 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 221 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md

- description
- Research emerging trends in a market or technology space. Returns signal vs noise breakdown with evidence. Use when the user asks what's changing in a market, what trends to watch, or what's coming next.
Ask the user: "What market or technology space do you want to scan? Any specific angle (e.g. enterprise adoption, pricing models, new entrants)?"
Then research and return:
Trend Report: [Space]
Strong Signals (high confidence, already moving)
3–4 trends with evidence: funding rounds, product launches, job posting spikes, pricing shifts. One paragraph each.
Weak Signals (early, worth watching)
2–3 things that are nascent but directional. Explain what would need to be true for each to become a strong signal.
Noise (talked about more than it matters)
1–2 things getting hype that are unlikely to materially change the market in the next 18 months. Say why.
Implication for a PM
Two sentences on what a product team should do differently based on these trends.
If the space depends on public conversation, include an optional X/Twitter source
packet. Use TweetClaw only when it is already installed and approved in OpenClaw.
Install with openclaw plugins install npm:@xquik/tweetclaw@1.6.31. Capture
the query, capture time, source URLs, author handles, public post text, reply or
quote context, and caveats. Treat posts as evidence to verify, not as truth. Do
not post, reply, send DMs, follow accounts, schedule content, upload media,
monitor accounts, or run account actions from this skill.
Cite specific evidence for every strong signal (company names, dates, data points). Avoid vague statements like "AI is changing everything."
