What it does
Trendwatch is an agent skill from nestyme/awesome-prompts. Reverse-engineer viral organic TikTok/Instagram content from competitor accounts and generate adapted hook ideas for the user's app. Trigger when the user asks about trendwatching, viral content analysis, hook ideation for organic TikTok/Reels growth, "what's working on TikTok for {category}", or wants to analyze a competitor's content strategy. Self-bootstrapping — on first run asks 5 discovery questions and creates state files next to itself; on subsequent runs reads existing state and skips bootstrap.
Its SKILL.md is about 10k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Brainstorming, Requirements gathering and Content strategy. It works with TikTok and Instagram.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks about trendwatching
- Viral content analysis
- Hook ideation for organic TikTok/Reels growth
- Whats working on TikTok for {category}
Example prompts
- “s working on TikTok for {category}”
- “/trendwatch”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Bootstrap
- Discovery (first run only)
- Auto-research (run in parallel)
- Collection
- Analysis
- Ideation
- Update experiments.md
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit faba220. 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:
yt-dlp
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
Trendwatch loads about 10k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 130 tokens; SKILL.md has 4,346 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 4,346 words (~9,959 tokens).
“A pipeline for organic TikTok/Instagram growth: discover what's working for competitors, decompose why it's working on 7 axes, generate adapted hook ideas for the user's product, and accumulate learnings over time so the skill gets sharper with use.”
