claude-vibe-squad: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/virality-analysis/SKILL.md

virality-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mtarcure/claude-vibe-squad. It costs 56 tokens per session (395 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for studying why particular content spread and for testing sharing ideas on a specific platform using observed data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define audience groups, choose sharing metrics, compare possible explanations, and plan a platform-specific test without claiming more than the data supports.
Why use it?
It helps separate measured patterns from guesses about what caused content to spread. It also sets limits for the test, including comparison options, confidence, and when to stop.

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

virality-analysis 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

Virality Analysis

Analyze a platform-specific sharing hypothesis — hook, retention, shareability, and loop — and turn it into an evidence-bounded experiment rather than a causal story.

Required experiment record

For each hypothesis, record the platform, source, observation window, cohort definition, metric names and formulas, alternative hypotheses, current confidence, intervention/test, stopping rule, and result status. Also state whether the test needs paid distribution, credentials, or private audience/analytics data; those requirements stay behind their separate operator, budget, and privacy gates.

Steps

  1. Pin the platform, evidence source, observation window, cohort, and metric definitions before interpreting signals.
  2. Identify a candidate share driver: the emotion or utility that might make a person pass it on.
  3. Analyze hook and retention structure against the platform mechanics observed in the same window.
  4. Map the sharing/growth loop and state at least one alternative explanation for every proposed mechanism.
  5. Assign confidence from observed signals, never fabricated views, retention, or engagement rates.
  6. Define a testable intervention and stopping rule; mark gated or unavailable analytics as unmeasured, not inferred.
  7. Update the experiment record with the outcome and retain alternatives that the result did not distinguish.

Acceptance

  • Every recommendation is tied to one platform-specific experiment record and mechanism.
  • Source/window/cohort and metric formulas are explicit; alternatives and confidence are recorded.
  • A test and stopping rule exist before results are interpreted.
  • No causal claim exceeds the experiment, no metric is fabricated, and paid/credential/private-data needs remain gated.
Changes

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.
