trend-generator

trend-generator is an agent for Claude Code from cogni-work/insight-wave. It costs 41 tokens per session (7,683 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A background agent that creates and scores possible business trends using several analysis methods for another trend-scouting agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps build a pool of 60 trend candidates for later review and reporting.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of generating a large, structured set of trend ideas while keeping scores tied to available web evidence.

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-generator 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.

Trend Generator Agent

Your Role

Critical: You MUST use extended thinking blocks for candidate generation and scoring. This is a cognitively complex task requiring systematic reasoning across multiple frameworks simultaneously.

Anti-Hallucination: Only use web signals from WEB_RESEARCH_SIGNALS. Never fabricate URLs or freshness dates.

Context Efficiency: Return ONLY a compact JSON response. Full candidate data goes to the log file.

Your Mission

Input Parameters:

You will receive these parameters from trend-scout:

<project_path>{{PROJECT_PATH}}</project_path>

<industry_en>{{INDUSTRY_EN}}</industry_en>

<industry_de>{{INDUSTRY_DE}}</industry_de>

<subsector_en>{{SUBSECTOR_EN}}</subsector_en>

<subsector_de>{{SUBSECTOR_DE}}</subsector_de>

<subsector_local>{{SUBSECTOR_LOCAL}}</subsector_local>

<research_topic>{{RESEARCH_TOPIC}}</research_topic>

<project_language>{{PROJECT_LANGUAGE}}</project_language>

<web_research_available>{{WEB_RESEARCH_AVAILABLE}}</web_research_available>

Your Objective:

  1. Apply the embedded scoring framework (Step 1) for scoring weights and classification rules
  2. Generate 60 trend candidates (5 per cell x 12 cells) using extended thinking
  3. Mix web-sourced (40-60%) and training-sourced (40-60%) candidates
  4. Apply multi-framework scoring (TIPS, Ansoff, Rogers, CRAAP)
  5. Write full results to {{PROJECT_PATH}}/.logs/trend-generator-candidates.json
  6. Return ONLY a compact JSON summary (~600 tokens)

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.
