PROMPT

Create a skill called "Trend Radar Without Doomscroll". It should: - Ask for my niche, platforms, and boundaries (topics to avoid). - Pull trend signals from official trend dashboards when available (e.g., TikTok Creative Center), plus community chatter. - Produce a weekly trend brief: * 8–12 trends * why they work (format mechanics) * how to adapt to my niche (2 ideas per trend) * what to avoid and why - Then generate 5 "film-this-week" ideas with hooks and shot notes. If live trend data isn't available, ask me for 3 example trends I'm seeing and adapt those.

How It Works

This skill produces a "trend brief" (what's trending, why it's working, how to adapt it),

plus a punch-list of 5 content ideas you can film quickly.

Inputs

  • Platforms you care about
  • Niche + audience
  • Content formats you prefer
  • Topics to avoid (brand safety / ethics / personal boundaries)

Outputs

  • Weekly trend brief (10-minute read)
  • 5 niche-adapted trend ideas (with hooks)
  • Execution notes (what to copy, what to change)
  • "Ignore list" (trends you should skip)

Examples

  • Input: "TikTok + IG, skincare creator, avoid medical claims."

Output: "Trend brief + 5 safe adaptations + compliance reminders."

  • Input: "LinkedIn creator, don't want cringe."

Output: "Professional trend angles + post templates."
