Research what is trending on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and X - trending videos, hashtags, sounds, topics and search suggestions by country - and explain which trends fit a brand. Use when the user asks what is trending, wants content ideas, or wants to know how big a hashtag or sound is. Uses the ScrapeIO API.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.

Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Very specific: line 33
With the
scrapeioMCP server: use the named tool when it exists (for example tiktok_profile).
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Steps
- Scope: country, platform, and the brand or niche (if any).
- Collect the trending feed for the country, then pull the hashtags and sounds that repeat across it.
- Size each candidate: hashtag totals, sound usage count, median
playsof the videos using it, and how recent they are (created_at). A trend whose top videos are all over a week old is fading. - Fit: for a brand, keep trends whose videos match its audience and tone. Pull 2 or 3 transcripts to understand the format.
Output
A ranked list: trend, platform, size, momentum (rising, peaking, fading, with the evidence), example videos with links, and one line on how the brand could use it. Note the country and the date.
How to call ScrapeIO
Needs SCRAPEIO_API_KEY. If it is missing, ask the user to get a free key at https://scrapeio.com/login (100 credits, no card). Never print the key.
- With the
scrapeioMCP server: use the named tool when it exists (for exampletiktok_profile). For any other path, usecall_endpointwith{ "path": "/v1/...", "params": { ... } }. - Without MCP:
curl -s "https://scrapeio.com<path>?<params>" -H "x-api-key: $SCRAPEIO_API_KEY". - Answers are in
data; lists aredata.itemswithdata.cursoranddata.has_more. Fields are the same on every platform:handle,followers,plays,likes,comments,shares,created_at,url. - 403 (private) and 404 (not found) are free: skip and move on. Retry 502 once. 402 means the user needs credits (https://scrapeio.com/pricing).
- Watch

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
