About This Skill

What it does

This skill helps AI agents research social media trends to identify emerging topics and popular keywords for video content creation. It leverages three free tools: pytrends (for Google Trends data), yars (for Reddit scraping), and Perplexity MCP (for Twitter/TikTok/Web trends accessed through Claude). The skill provides executable code, enabling agents to gather real-time trending searches, analyze keyword interest over time, and discover related queries indicating rising topics.

When to use it

Content planning: Identify potential video topics that are currently gaining traction on social media.
Keyword research: Discover relevant keywords for your videos based on current trends.
Staying informed: Keep up-to-date with emerging conversations and interests online.
Viral content discovery: Find topics experiencing explosive growth, potentially leading to viral video opportunities.
Niche topic analysis: Research specific areas of interest (e.g., "heart health") to understand current trends within that niche.

Key capabilities

Google Trends data: Retrieves real-time trending searches, interest over time, related queries, and regional interest for keywords.
Reddit scraping: Extracts topics from Reddit using public endpoints.
Twitter/TikTok/Web trend analysis: Leverages Perplexity MCP to access trends from these platforms via Claude.
Rising query identification: Pinpoints "rising" related queries within Google Trends, indicating emerging topics.
Breakout topic detection: Identifies topics with significant growth (1000%+) in a short timeframe.

Example prompts

“Find trending searches in India right now.”
“What are the rising related queries for 'sustainable living'?”
"Identify breakout topics related to 'artificial intelligence'."

Tips & gotchas

Rate Limiting: The skill uses free tools and is subject to rate limits. A minimum wait time of 3-5 seconds between requests is recommended for casual use, and 60 seconds for bulk research.
Dependencies: Requires pip install pytrends requests to be run initially.
Niche Keyword Limits: When researching niche keywords with pytrends, limit your requests to a maximum of 5 keywords per request.
