A specialized skill for the hashtag-analyst agent covering hashtag science.

  • Works in 3 steps: Seed Keyword Collection → Hashtag Analysis Matrix → Set Composition
  • Keyword strategy
  • SKILL.md covers Why Hashtag "Science", Hashtag Pyramid Strategy, Platform-Specific Hashtag… and Hashtag Research Process, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Hashtag Science is an agent skill from revfactory/harness-100. A specialized skill for the hashtag-analyst agent covering hashtag science. Provides hashtag pyramid strategy, competition analysis, trend prediction, and platform-specific optimal hashtag strategies. Use for 'hashtags,' 'keyword strategy,' 'trend analysis,' 'hashtag research,' and similar topics.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Data & Analytics, covering Forecasting and time series. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Keyword strategy
  • Hashtag research

Example prompts

  • “hashtags,”
  • “keyword strategy,”
  • “trend analysis,”
  • “/hashtag-science”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Seed Keyword Collection
  2. Hashtag Analysis Matrix
  3. Set Composition

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e8d35c. 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

Hashtag Science loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 364 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Hashtag Science — Hashtag Science Methodology

Specialized knowledge used by the hashtag-analyst agent when designing hashtag strategies.

Why Hashtag "Science"

Hashtags are not applied by intuition. They involve calculating discoverability, competition level, and targeting accuracy to design optimal combinations.

Hashtag Pyramid Strategy

        /\
       / 1 \  <- Large (1M+ posts)
      /------\     2-3: Discovered with luck
     /   2    \  <- Medium (100K-1M)
    /----------\     5-7: Core battlefield
   /      3     \  <- Small (10K-100K)
  /--------------\     5-8: Targeted reach
 /         4      \  <- Niche (under 10K)
/------------------\     3-5: Community entry

Hashtag Research Process

Show full SKILL.md (146 more words)Show less
Step 1: Seed Keyword Collection
SourceMethod
CompetitorsCollect hashtags from competitor accounts' popular posts
AutocompleteEnter keywords in Instagram/TikTok search -> collect autocomplete suggestions
Related TagsCollect "related hashtags" from hashtag pages
CommunityObserve hashtags used by the target audience
Step 2: Hashtag Analysis Matrix
HashtagPost CountTierRelevanceCompetitionFinal Score
#[tag]XXX,XXXLarge/Med/Small/Niche1-51-5Weighted sum
Final Score = (Relevance x 0.5) + (Optimal Competition x 0.3) + (Trending x 0.2)

- Relevance: Degree of exact match with content
- Optimal Competition: Neither too high nor too low is optimal (inverted U-curve)
- Trending: Growing tags get bonus points
Step 3: Set Composition

Pre-compose hashtag sets by post type:

[Educational Content Set]
Large: #marketing #business
Medium: #marketingstrategy #digitalmarketing #contentmarketing #snsmarketing #marketingtips
Small: #marketinglearning #marketerlife #performancemarketing #growthhacking #brandingstrategy
Niche: #marketergrowth #juniormarketer #marketingpractice
Brand: #BrandName

[Product Showcase Set]
[Community Set]
[Trend Set]

Banned Hashtag Management

Shadowban Risk Hashtags

Some hashtags can trigger "shadowbans" on platforms like Instagram, limiting content visibility:

  • Hashtags misused for sexual/violent meanings
  • Hashtags heavily used by spam bots
  • Hashtags temporarily restricted during certain periods
Prevention Strategy
  1. Search the hashtag before use to confirm normal visibility
  2. If the "recent posts" tab is empty, restriction is likely
  3. Change 30%+ of hashtag sets each time
  4. Do not use large hashtags unrelated to the content
