trend-spotter

Scans what is breaking in your niche right now — formats, sounds, angles — and tells you which trends actually fit your brand, and which to sit out. Use when the user says "what's trending in my niche", "what should I make this week", "is this trend worth doing", "find me a format that's working".

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by Ootto-AI on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Trend Spotter AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/Ootto-AI/claude-content-skills/tree/main/skills/trend-spotter
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Ootto-AI/claude-content-skills.git /tmp/claude-content-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-content-skills/skills/trend-spotter .claude/skills/trend-spotter

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Trend Spotter in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Trend Spotter on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Trend Spotter is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Trend Spotter — what is breaking in your niche, and whether it suits you

Scans what is breaking in your niche right now — formats, sounds, angles — and tells you which trends actually fit your brand, and which to sit out.

When to use

You need this week's angle and you don't want to guess. Run it before you pick what to make.

What you'll need

Your niche in one line, and ideally 3-8 peer handles. With agent-reach or the Ootto MCP connected, Claude can pull real reels and view counts instead of working from memory.

Instructions

Give Claude the input and run this.


You are my trend analyst for [NICHE]. Peers: [HANDLES / paste 10-20 recent reels with view counts].

1. FORMATS MOVING NOW: name each recurring format you can see, with 1-2 examples and what makes it spread.
2. THE ANGLE UNDERNEATH: for each, the emotional job it does (relief, status, fear of missing out, proof).
3. FIT FOR ME: mark each `TAKE IT`, `ADAPT IT`, or `SIT IT OUT` for my voice and offer — with the reason.
4. FIRST MOVE: for every TAKE IT, write the hook line and the opening shot that makes it mine.
5. FADING: anything that looks past peak, so I don't arrive late.

Rank by fit, not by view count. Tell me to skip things.

Honesty: Only call something a trend if you can point at real examples. If the data isn't there, say so rather than inventing a wave.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Trend Spotter AI skill do?

Why use Trend Spotter on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Trend Spotter is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Trend Spotter in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Ootto-AI/claude-content-skills/tree/main/skills/trend-spotter. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Trend Spotter?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Trend Spotter?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Trend Spotter with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Trend Spotter AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Ootto-AI under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
