trends-catalog

trends-catalog is a skill for Claude Code from cogni-work/insight-wave. It costs 134 tokens per session (3,352 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for maintaining reusable industry catalogues that store knowledge from multiple trend-research projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating, importing, updating, exporting, and analysing industry-specific catalogues across projects.
Why use it?
It prevents each new customer project from repeating research and losing useful findings from earlier work.

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

trends-catalog 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 366 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Industry Catalog

Context Independence

This skill reads ALL required state from pursuit project files and catalog directories — it does not depend on prior conversation context. If invoked after trends-resume or value-modeler, context compaction is safe and recommended before starting.

Before executing any operation, run /compact to free working memory. Catalog import operations read the full tips-value-model.json and merge it with existing catalog entities, which benefits from maximum available context.

If /compact is unavailable or this is the first skill in the session, skip compaction and proceed directly.

Manage persistent industry catalogs — the reusable knowledge base that makes each successive customer pursuit faster, more consistent, and more valuable.

Why Catalogs Matter

Without catalogs, every TIPS pursuit starts from scratch. The trend-scout generates candidates, the value-modeler builds paths and solutions, but all that structured knowledge lives only in the pursuit directory. The next customer engagement in the same industry repeats the same work.

Catalogs solve this by creating a persistent, curated repository per industry/subsector. When a new pursuit is initialized, it inherits relevant TIPs, Solution Templates, SPIs, and Metrics from the catalog — giving the consultant a head start and ensuring consistency across engagements.

This implements the centralized repository concept from the TIPS Value Modeler methodology (WO2018046399A1, Claim 3 and Fig. 4).

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.
