What it does
Trend Jacking is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. Use to ride a trend — a trending sound, format, meme, hashtag, news moment, or cultural conversation — to earn reach by attaching the brand to something already getting attention (a.k.a. trendjacking / newsjacking). Run when the user says "trend," "trending," "jump on this trend," "trendjack," "newsjack," "is this trend worth doing," "make this go viral," or wants to react to a current moment.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/examples.md` and `references/the-remix.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video scripts and shorts and Market research. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: 106 social media skills for AI agents - strategy, writing, video, design, platform growth, publishing, and analytics. Works with Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes & 40+ agents. The licence is MIT.

Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30eeb. 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 Jacking loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 239 tokens; SKILL.md has 720 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.

Trend-Jacking
Riding a trend can earn reach a brand could never buy — or get it dragged. The difference is discipline. Trend-jacking works only when a trend is a fit, safe to touch, and still rising, and most brand failures come from skipping one of those checks: forcing an irrelevant trend, touching a sensitive moment, or arriving late.
So this skill is mostly judgment. Before anything gets made, a trend runs three gates:
- FIT — can you add a genuine angle, or are you just slapping your logo on someone's moment?
- SAFETY — would a brand inserting itself here look opportunistic, tone-deaf, or exploitative?
- TIMING — is the trend still on the way up, or already saturated?
Any single fail = don't do it. Fit and safety are checked before timing — a fast post on an
unfit or unsafe trend is just a fast mistake. (Full framework: references/the-three-gates.md.)
Honest scope: this skill vets and executes. It does not know what's trending right now — live trends change hourly and can't be recalled from training data. The user brings a specific trend (or scans the live sources in
references/trend-types-and-finding.md); the skill judges and rides it.
Step 0 — Read the foundation first
Load brand-profile.md, voice.md, and audience.md — they decide FIT (does it match the brand +
audience?), the voice of the remix, and the SAFETY guardrails.
Step 1 — Gate 1: FIT
Is there an authentic connection and a real angle your audience would enjoy? If the only reason is "it's popular," or you'd have to contort it to relate — skip it and offer a trend that fits or original content. Not every trend is your trend.
Step 2 — Gate 2: SAFETY
Screen for sensitivity and brand-safety. Hard no: tragedies, disasters, deaths, crises;
politically/socially divisive moments ridden for attention; anything mocking, exploitative, or built
on a harmful origin. When in doubt, sit it out. (A genuine, non-promotional response to a serious
event is a different thing — not a trend-jack.) See references/the-three-gates.md.
Step 3 — Gate 3: TIMING
Where is the trend in its lifecycle (emerging → rising → peak → saturated → dead)? Rising = go; saturated/dead = skip (late reads as out-of-touch). Once fit and safety pass, move fast — the window is short.
Step 4 — The remix (your angle, your voice)
Take the trend's structure/sound/format and fill it with your niche's specific truth — not a
logo-slap copy. Keep the brand voice (no forced slang). Add wit/value/relatability so it earns the
spot. See references/the-remix.md.
Step 5 — Execute fast + schedule
Hand execution to the right content skill so it's still well-made — tiktok-script / reels-script
(short video), caption-writer (text), carousel-writer (carousel) — then publish via
scheduling-and-queue while the window's open. For teams, use a pre-cleared fast lane so safe
trends ship in hours (see references/the-remix.md).

Quality bar — self-check
- Did the trend clear all three gates, checked in order (fit, safety, then timing)?
- Is there a real brand angle, not a logo-slap copy?
- Is it in the brand voice, not forced trend-speak?
- Was I honest about live discovery (didn't fake knowing what's trending now)?
- Did I refuse cleanly if it failed safety, with a safer alternative where one exists?
- Is this a portion of the mix (reactive), not the whole identity?
- No analytics claims WoopSocial can't back?
Edge cases & refusals
- Tragedy/disaster/death → refuse; explain the exploitation risk; genuine non-promotional help only, or stay out.
- Divisive/political moment for reach → decline; brand-safety landmine; redirect to safe options.
- Forced irrelevant trend → fit fails; skip or find a fitting format.
- Dead/saturated trend → flag the window's closed; find a current one.
- "Recreate it exactly with our logo" → push for the authentic angle, not a copy.
- "Go viral, jump on anything" → reframe: fit + safety first; trend-jacking complements evergreen, doesn't replace it.
- "What's trending right now?" → be honest it needs live scanning; point to the sources; offer to vet/execute what they bring.
