SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Creating content without knowing what already performs leads to wasted effort on formats and angles that audiences ignore. This Skill replaces guesswork with real engagement data from social platforms before you write a single word.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Platform Content Scanning: Collects top content from YouTube, TikTok, X, and Reddit via configured APIs or web_search fallback, normalizing views, likes, comments, and shares into a standard schema.
  • Pattern and Gap Analysis: Classifies winning content formats (comparison, tutorial, review) and hook types (bold claim, contrarian, demo-first), then identifies underserved format, platform, and audience gaps.
  • Engagement Benchmarking: Calculates median and top-10% engagement thresholds per platform so you know what performance target to beat.
  • Use Case: Before writing a TikTok script about AI video tools, run this Skill to discover that demo-first hooks under 60 seconds dominate, that no comparison content exists on TikTok, and that the top 10% threshold is 85K views.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to scout trending content about your keyword on YouTube and TikTok and show the top posts with engagement scores, winning formats, and content gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions about trending-content-scout

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find top-performing content for a keyword on TikTok and YouTube?▼

Provide a keyword and target platforms, and the Skill searches each platform via configured APIs or web_search, then ranks results by an engagement score formula combining likes, comments, and shares relative to views.

What is the best way to research content gaps in a niche?▼

Run a trending content scan across multiple platforms and review the gap analysis section, which flags underserved formats, platforms, audiences, and stale topics based on what the top 20 results actually contain.

Does this work without a social media API key?▼

Yes, it falls back to web_search and web_fetch to extract titles, creators, and approximate view counts from search snippets. Results are noted as approximate, and configuring an API provider gives exact engagement metrics.

How is the engagement score calculated across different platforms?▼

The standard formula is (likes x 2 + comments x 3 + shares x 5) divided by views, times 1000. Reddit uses score and comments, X uses retweets as shares, and YouTube estimates shares from comment counts.

What happens when no content is found for my keyword?▼

The Skill suggests broadening the keyword to its parent category or removing platform filters. If results remain empty, it reports this as a potential first-mover opportunity rather than a failure.
