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

linkedin-trending-topics-scanner 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 11d 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Riding a trend with a sharp angle beats inventing a topic from scratch.

When to trigger

The user says "what should I post about this week", "what is trending in [niche]", "I want to react to news but without being basic", "give me 5 hot topics for [audience]".

Inputs to ask for

  1. The niche and audience.
  2. The user's positioning or angle (so suggested topics stay on-brand).
  3. How many topics they want (default to 5).

Process

  1. Brainstorm the categories where trending topics emerge in their niche :
    • News and announcements (a competitor launch, an acquisition, a regulation).
    • Tools and products (something everyone is suddenly using).
    • Public debates (a hot take that is dividing the industry).
    • Conferences and events (recap, reactions).
    • Cultural shifts (a way of working that is changing).
    • Memes and recurring jokes in the niche.
  2. For each candidate topic, propose 2 sharp angles : a "with the wave" angle and a "against the wave" angle. Contrarian angles tend to outperform on LinkedIn.
  3. Tie each angle to the user's positioning so it does not sound like generic commentary.

Output format

TRENDING IN [niche] THIS WEEK

1. [Topic / event / debate]
   Why it is hot : [one-liner with context]
   Angle A (with the wave) : [post angle]
   Angle B (against the wave) : [contrarian angle]
   Format suggestion : [story / opinion / listicle / carousel]

2. ...

PICK ONE
[1 sentence recommendation : which topic + which angle is the strongest fit for the user's positioning, and why]

Rules

  • Never propose generic "trends" like "AI is changing everything". Be specific : a tool, an event, a debate, a name.
  • Always include a contrarian angle. Even if the user does not use it, it sharpens the wave-aligned angle.
  • If you do not know what is trending in their niche, say so and ask for sources (newsletters they read, podcasts, communities).
  • Do not chase virality at the cost of relevance. A trend the user has no credibility on is a trap.

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.
