What it does

Trend Spotter is an agent skill from holaboss-ai/holaOS. Identify emerging trends and viral topics relevant to your niche before they peak.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Open-source agentic workspace enterprises can make their own. Connect the systems you already run — 100+ integrations, MCP, chat tools, apps, browser, local files — with shared…

Example prompts

  • “/trend-spotter”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm the niche and audience so you filter for relevance, not just popularity.
  2. Scan for rising topics, hashtags, formats, and questions; look at direction of change, not just current size.
  3. For each candidate, assess velocity, where it's showing up, and how much runway remains.
  4. Translate each trend into a concrete way this brand could participate, with a sense of timing.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4684714. 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 582 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~582

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 345 words (~582 tokens).

“Think like an editor with a finger on the pulse: your value is catching a rising topic while it's still climbing, not reporting one that already peaked. The goal is timing and actionable angles, not a list of yesterday's news.”
