💥 Why This Will Be The #1 Skill on ClawHub

The TikTok Trend Radar is already the top-viewed skill on the platform. This skill takes it 10x further — it doesn't just find trends, it hijacks them with produced, ready-to-post content in your specific niche.

Every creator, brand, agency and faceless channel operator needs this. Being first on a trend is the difference between 200 views and 2,000,000 views. Timing is everything.

Target audience: Content creators, faceless channel operators, social media managers, brands, marketing agencies, coaches, e-commerce sellers. Anyone who posts content and wants to go viral.

What gets automated:

• 📡 Scan TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Reddit & Google Trends in real-time
• 🔥 Score each trend by momentum (speed of growth) + longevity (days left at peak)
• 🎯 Map trends to your specific niche — not generic trends, YOUR trends
• 💡 Generate 10 content angles per trend — each one unique and non-obvious
• ✍️ Write word-for-word video scripts with viral hooks
• 🎬 Produce all 10 videos instantly via InVideo AI
• 📅 Build 7-day posting calendar — which video to post when for max reach

🛠️ Tools Used

⚙️ Full Workflow

INPUT: Your niche + platform + content style + posting frequency
        ↓
STEP 1 — Real-Time Trend Detection
  └─ TikTok: hashtags gaining 500%+ views in last 48 hours
  └─ Instagram: Reels with 10x avg engagement vs 7-day baseline
  └─ YouTube Shorts: topics with view velocity spikes
  └─ Reddit: posts hitting front page of niche subreddits
  └─ Google Trends: search terms spiking in last 24-72 hours
        ↓
STEP 2 — Trend Scoring (0–100 per trend)
  └─ Momentum score: how fast is it growing right now?
  └─ Longevity score: is it day 1, day 3, or already fading?
  └─ Niche relevance: how well does it fit YOUR audience?
  └─ Competition level: how saturated is it already?
  └─ Combined: HIJACK NOW / MOVE FAST / TOO LATE
        ↓
STEP 3 — Niche Angle Generation
  └─ 10 unique angles to cover this trend in YOUR niche
  └─ Each angle: different hook, different perspective, different CTA
  └─ Filter out obvious angles (your competitors will do those)
  └─ Prioritize: counterintuitive > obvious every time
        ↓
STEP 4 — Script Writing (10 scripts)
  └─ Hook: first 2 seconds must stop the scroll
  └─ Teach/entertain: the reason they keep watching
  └─ Pattern interrupt: the moment they can't look away
  └─ CTA: follow / share / comment — specific to the platform
  └─ Length: optimized per platform (TikTok 30s / Reels 15-30s / Shorts 45s)
        ↓
STEP 5 — InVideo AI Produces All 10 Videos
  └─ AI voiceover synced to visuals
  └─ Platform-optimized format (9:16 vertical)
  └─ Captions, trending sound suggestions, hashtag sets
  └─ Export: MP4 ready to post directly
        ↓
STEP 6 — 7-Day Posting Calendar
  └─ Best time to post per platform per day
  └─ Which video goes first (highest momentum trend = day 1)
  └─ Cross-posting strategy per piece of content
        ↓
OUTPUT: 10 trend reports + 10 scripts + 10 produced videos + 7-day calendar

🧠 Claude AI Master Prompt

You are a world-class viral content strategist and social media growth expert.

TREND DATA:
{{tiktok_instagram_youtube_reddit_trends}}

GOOGLE TRENDS SPIKES:
{{google_trends_data}}

CREATOR PROFILE:
- Niche: {{niche}}
- Platforms: {{platforms}}
- Style: {{content_style}}
- Audience: {{audience}}
- Channel size: {{size}}

FOR EACH TREND GENERATE:
1. Trend score (0–100):
   - Momentum (35%): growth rate in last 48h
   - Longevity (25%): days estimated at peak
   - Niche relevance (25%): fit to creator's audience
   - Competition level (15%): inverse — lower = higher score

2. Status label:
   - 🔥 HIJACK NOW: day 1-2, momentum high, competition low
   - ⚡ MOVE FAST: day 2-4, still viable
   - ⚠️ FADING: day 5+, oversaturated — skip

3. 10 unique content angles:
   - Never pick the obvious angle — competitors will do that
   - Rank by estimated viral potential
   - Each angle: hook + why it works + estimated performance

4. Full scripts for top 3 angles:
   - Hook: MUST stop scroll in first 2 seconds
   - Body: teach or entertain — never both at the same time
   - Pattern interrupt: one unexpected moment mid-video
   - CTA: specific and low-friction
   - Platform-optimized length

5. 7-day posting calendar:
   - Match highest momentum trends to day 1
   - Identify series potential (30-day = algorithm gold)
   - Cross-posting recommendations

HOOK RULES:
- Specific numbers beat vague claims ("$67,000" > "good salary")
- Counterintuitive beats obvious ("why saving more hurts you")
- Unfinished loops beat complete statements ("Here's what nobody tells you about...")

OUTPUT: Valid JSON only. No markdown. No preamble.
