Social Media Research Skills is a collection of workflows that let AI coding agents research public social-media data across platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, and LinkedIn. Marketers and researchers use it to find unusually successful posts, mine comments, study competitors, analyze ads, and extract trends into business outputs. The catalogue skills and plugin package these workflows for supported AI agents.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00060 | $0.01523 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00762 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00305 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00152 |
Grade A, and why
outlier-post-finder 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 12d 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 — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Outlier Post Finder
Overview
Find social posts that beat an account's normal performance. The goal is not just to sort by views. The goal is to identify posts that performed unusually well for that creator or brand, then explain the repeatable patterns.
Use ScrapeCreators as the data layer. Pull recent public posts, normalize engagement metrics, calculate each account's baseline, and produce an outlier report with source URLs and practical takeaways.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user asks to:
- find outlier posts, viral posts, top posts, best reels, best shorts, best TikToks, or best tweets
- analyze why a creator's content is working
- find competitor posts worth copying or learning from
- build a swipe file from high-performing social posts
- compare performance across a creator's recent posts
Do not use this for raw endpoint lookup only. Use scrapecreators-api for direct API routing.
Data Sources
Prefer the platform-specific feed endpoint, then enrich individual posts only when needed.

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.

outlier-post-finder is a skill published in the GitHub repository ScrapeCreators/social-media-research-skills (2,234 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,523 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
page-audit
Use when auditing a specific page's SEO performance, content quality, and competitive position. The agent fetches the URL, Googles the primary keyword, reads the top 3 competitors, and produces a full 7-dimension audit — no exports, no analytics access required.
write-content
Use when writing a complete SEO article. Includes the full anti-AI-slop ruleset (banned vocabulary, banned phrases, banned structural patterns) and voice rules. The agent researches the SERP itself if needed — no keyword data exports required.
eeat-audit
Use when auditing a page for E-E-A-T signals. The agent reads the page and scores Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness — then tells you exactly what to add to each dimension.
featured-snippet-optimizer
Use when you want to win a featured snippet for a keyword you already rank for. The agent checks the current snippet format, analyzes your content, and rewrites the relevant section to match what Google wants.
keyword-deep-dive
Use when planning to rank for a specific keyword. The agent Googles it, reads the top 10, classifies intent, reads the top 3 competitor pages, and produces a 90-day ranking plan with intent, SERP analysis, and content recommendations.
linkbuilding
Use when planning link acquisition. Classifies the site's authority phase from site age and visible signals, then recommends phase-appropriate tactics from the bundled tactic playbook library. No backlink tool required.
