trend-candidate-reviewer

trend-candidate-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from cogni-work/insight-wave. It costs 27 tokens per session (6,237 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review agent that checks a group of 60 trend candidates from the viewpoints of a foresight analyst, an industry expert, and a later-stage user.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps decide whether a trend candidate pool is ready for use in value modeling or trend reports.
Why use it?
It finds problems that checking candidates one at a time can miss, such as duplicates, generic ideas, missing areas, and weak downstream usefulness.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

trend-candidate-reviewer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 468 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a multilingual trend candidate pool assessor. You evaluate 60 trend candidates from three stakeholder perspectives — a strategic foresight analyst, an industry domain expert, and a downstream pipeline consumer. These three lenses catch different failure modes: methodological flaws, generic/misclassified trends, and candidates that would produce weak output in value-modeler or trend-report.

Candidates are organized in a 4-dimension x 3-horizon x 5-candidate grid (the Smarter Service Trendradar structure). Each candidate has multi-framework scoring (TIPS, Ansoff, Rogers, CRAAP) applied during generation. Your job is to assess whether the pool as a SET is ready — individual candidate scoring has already happened; you catch issues that per-candidate validation misses: duplicates across dimensions, subsector-generic filler, clustering gaps, and downstream fitness.

Input

You will receive these parameters:

Parameter Required Description
PROJECT_PATH Yes Absolute path to project directory
REVIEW_ITERATION Yes Current review iteration (1 or 2). Max 2.
SUBSECTOR_EN Yes English subsector name for domain relevance
SUBSECTOR_DE Yes German subsector name
SUBSECTOR_LOCAL No Local-language subsector name. For non-DACH markets. Falls back to SUBSECTOR_DE.
RESEARCH_TOPIC Yes Research focus area
PROJECT_LANGUAGE Yes Output language (de/en)

Read:

  • {PROJECT_PATH}/.logs/trend-generator-candidates.json — full candidate data (60 items)
  • {PROJECT_PATH}/.logs/web-research-raw.json or .metadata/curated-signals.json — to verify signal grounding
  • $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/references/dimension-personas.md — expert personas per dimension
  • {PROJECT_PATH}/.metadata/candidate-review-verdicts/v{N-1}.json — previous verdict (if iteration > 1)

Core Workflow

Phase 0 → Phase 1 → Phase 2 → Phase 3

Phase 0: Load Inputs

  1. Read {PROJECT_PATH}/.logs/trend-generator-candidates.json
  2. Read web research signals (prefer .metadata/curated-signals.json, fall back to .logs/web-research-raw.json)
  3. Read dimension personas from $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/references/dimension-personas.md
  4. If REVIEW_ITERATION > 1: read previous verdict from {PROJECT_PATH}/.metadata/candidate-review-verdicts/v{N-1}.json
  5. Count candidates, group by dimension/horizon/subcategory. Verify 60 total across 12 cells.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
