What it does
Content Research is an agent skill from Ootto-AI/claude-content-skills. Turn Claude into a content research machine for any niche. Point it at any creator or account and it pulls their posts, finds the exact ones that blew up (the outliers), then breaks down WHY — the hook, the format, and the retention patterns — and surfaces the repeatable playbook you can copy. Use when the user says "research this niche", "what's working for @account", "find what's going viral in [niche]", "what should I post about", "study this creator", or wants a content strategy grounded in real data instead…
Its SKILL.md is about 860 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 Content strategy. The repository describes itself as: Free, copy-paste Claude skills that run your content growth factory — turn ideas + your NotebookLM memory into scroll-stopping Instagram reels. By Ootto. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user says research this niche
- Whats working for @account

- “research this niche”
- “s working for @account”
- “find what”

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5263be7. 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
Content Research loads about 860 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 137 tokens; SKILL.md has 407 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.

Content Research — stop guessing what to post
Most people spend hours scrolling to figure out what to post. This skill turns Claude into a research machine: point it at any account or niche and it finds the exact moments that went viral and the patterns behind them — so you copy what works instead of guessing.
What it does
- Pull the posts. For a creator/account, gather their recent reels + view counts (Instagram Graph API via Composio, or any list of reel URLs the user provides).
- Find the spikes. Rank posts by views and flag the outliers — the exact posts where the account blew up vs their baseline. Those are the moments worth studying.
- Break down WHY. For each outlier, study the reel frame-by-frame + transcript (hand off to the
reel-analyzerskill / ootto-watch) and extract the hook (first 2s), the format/structure, the pacing, and the retention pattern. - Surface the playbook. Across the outliers, surface the repeatable patterns — the hook types, formats, and topics that consistently earn saves/shares — and turn them into a short, copyable plan for the user's own niche.
How to run it
- Ask for a creator @handle, an account URL, or a niche (+ a few example accounts).
- Pull their reels + view counts. Options:
- sandcastles.ai — a research engine that pulls top channels and auto-surfaces the viral outliers + the frameworks behind them (fastest path; connect it to Claude and let it do the heavy lifting).
- Composio Instagram tools — free/DIY: list a creator's media + insights from the Graph API.
- Or a plain list of reel URLs the user pastes.
- Rank by views, compute each post's ratio vs the account median, and mark anything ~2-3x median as an outlier ("blew up here").
- For the top 3-5 outliers, run
reel-analyzer(or ootto-watch — github.com/Ootto-AI/ootto-watch) to break down hook / format / retention. - Synthesize: list the winning hook patterns, formats, and topics, then write 3 ready-to-shoot ideas for the user's own account modeled on what actually worked.

Output
A short research report:
- The spikes — which posts blew up and by how much (vs baseline).
- Why they worked — hook / format / retention breakdown per outlier.
- The playbook — the repeatable patterns + 3 original ideas for your niche.
Honesty
Model the technique, never copy another creator's exact script, visuals, or caption. Cite the source reels you studied. View counts come from real data (Composio / what the user provides) — never fabricate.
Part of the Ootto content-skills marketplace. Pairs with reel-analyzer, going-viral, and reel-scripter.
