What it does

Apify Trend Analysis is an agent skill from majiayu000/claude-skill-registry. Discover and track emerging trends across Google Trends, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok to inform content strategy.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Web scraping, Forecasting and time series and Content strategy. It works with Apify, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. The repository describes itself as: Searchable Claude Code skills catalog with source-linked guides and generated registry artifacts. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Web scraping
  • Tasks that involve Forecasting and time series
  • Tasks that involve Content strategy

Example prompts

  • “/apify-trend-analysis”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in APIFY_TOKEN

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify Trend Type
  2. Fetch Actor Schema
  3. Ask User Preferences
  4. Run the Script
  5. Summarize Findings

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d14a69. 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:

    • node
    • npm
    • jq

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • APIFY_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Apify Trend Analysis loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 396 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
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.

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.

Trend Analysis

Discover and track emerging trends using Apify Actors to extract data from multiple platforms.

Prerequisites

(No need to check it upfront)

  • .env file with APIFY_TOKEN
  • Node.js 20.6+ (for native --env-file support)
  • mcpc CLI tool: npm install -g @apify/mcpc

Workflow

Copy this checklist and track progress:

Task Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Identify trend type (select Actor)
- [ ] Step 2: Fetch Actor schema via mcpc
- [ ] Step 3: Ask user preferences (format, filename)
- [ ] Step 4: Run the analysis script
- [ ] Step 5: Summarize findings
Step 1: Identify Trend Type

Select the appropriate Actor based on research needs:

TikTok adsclockworks/tiktok-ads-scraperAd trends
Discover pageclockworks/tiktok-discover-scraperDiscover trends
Explore trendsclockworks/tiktok-explore-scraperExplore content
Trending contentclockworks/tiktok-trends-scraperViral content
Step 2: Fetch Actor Schema

Fetch the Actor's input schema and details dynamically using mcpc:

bash
export $(grep APIFY_TOKEN .env | xargs) && mcpc --json mcp.apify.com --header "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" tools-call fetch-actor-details actor:="ACTOR_ID" | jq -r ".content"

Replace ACTOR_ID with the selected Actor (e.g., apify/google-trends-scraper).

This returns:

  • Actor description and README
  • Required and optional input parameters
  • Output fields (if available)
Step 3: Ask User Preferences

Before running, ask:

  1. Output format:
    • Quick answer - Display top few results in chat (no file saved)
    • CSV - Full export with all fields
    • JSON - Full export in JSON format
  2. Number of results: Based on character of use case
Show full SKILL.md (152 more words)Show less
Step 4: Run the Script

Quick answer (display in chat, no file):

bash
node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT'

CSV:

bash
node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_OUTPUT_FILE.csv \
  --format csv

JSON:

bash
node --env-file=.env ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/reference/scripts/run_actor.js \
  --actor "ACTOR_ID" \
  --input 'JSON_INPUT' \
  --output YYYY-MM-DD_OUTPUT_FILE.json \
  --format json
Step 5: Summarize Findings

After completion, report:

  • Number of results found
  • File location and name
  • Key trend insights
  • Suggested next steps (deeper analysis, content opportunities)

Error Handling

APIFY_TOKEN not found - Ask user to create .env with APIFY_TOKEN=your_token mcpc not found - Ask user to install npm install -g @apify/mcpc Actor not found - Check Actor ID spelling Run FAILED - Ask user to check Apify console link in error output Timeout - Reduce input size or increase --timeout
