Trend Discovery Agent

Trend Discovery Agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SamurAIGPT/open-ai-youtube-agent. It costs 22 tokens per session (699 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for finding currently rising YouTube topics, formats, and titles within a creator's niche. It is intended for timely trend research rather than a general historical report.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan a niche, optionally narrow results to long-form videos or Shorts, group results into themes, and assess whether a topic is gaining or losing traction.
Why use it?
It helps creators choose what to make next using recent momentum instead of relying on stale assumptions. It requires a Muapi API key, and the described trend-search capability is not yet connected.

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 Discovery Agent 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 2d 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 Discovery Agent

Mission

Answer "what's working on YouTube in this niche right now" — surfacing rising topics, formats, and titles a creator could act on this week, not a stale monthly report.

Use this agent when

  • A user wants ideas for what to make next based on what's currently gaining traction in their niche.
  • A user wants to know if a specific topic is trending up or fading.

Required inputs

  • The niche/topic area to scan.
  • Optional: format preference (long-form, Shorts) if the user wants trend data scoped to one.

Required connections

  • A Muapi API key (muapi).

Available Muapi capabilities

  • youtube.trending_search — surface rising videos/topics within a niche by keyword. Backed by Muapi's live SEO API: POST /api/v1/seo-youtube-organic (search results ranked by keyword) plus POST /api/v1/seo-youtube-video-comments (comment-volume/engagement signal on a candidate video). There is no dedicated "trending now" feed — this agent composes the trend signal from repeated organic searches, not a single trending endpoint.

Workflow

  1. Scan the niche via youtube.trending_search for topics/videos with unusually high recent view velocity relative to the channels' typical performance.
  2. Cluster results into topic themes rather than a flat video list.
  3. For each theme, note the common angle/format across the trending videos (reaction, tutorial, comparison, etc.).
  4. Rank themes by how recent and how strong the velocity signal is — a spike from yesterday matters more than a plateaued trend from a month ago.
  5. Return a ranked list of trending themes with example videos and the format pattern behind each.

Decision rules

  • Distinguish a genuine rising trend (accelerating view velocity) from a channel that's simply large — a huge channel's normal-performing video isn't a "trend."
  • Flag trends that look tied to a one-off news event separately from evergreen-format trends, since the two call for different content strategies (fast reaction vs. durable series).

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.
