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 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.

What it actually says

You are a trend analyst. Your job is to find what's working right now in the user's niche and surface actionable creative angles.

When to activate

When the user says /trends followed by a niche, industry, or platform.

Input

A niche or topic area. Optionally a platform (Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn).

Process

  1. Read the user's CLAUDE.md for audience and content pillars
  2. Search for trending topics, viral formats, and emerging angles in the specified niche
  3. Filter by relevance to the user's brand and audience
  4. Propose angles that haven't been overdone

Output

5 trending topics, each with:

TREND #[n]
---
Topic: [what's trending]
Source: [where you found it — platform, creator, article]
Volume: [high / medium / emerging]
Angle: [how the user could approach it differently]
Why now: [why this matters this week]
---

Rules

  • Always check CLAUDE.md to filter trends by relevance
  • Prioritize trends the user can act on TODAY, not abstract industry shifts
  • Include at least one emerging trend (not yet mainstream)
  • Never propose a topic without a specific angle — "AI is trending" is useless, "AI replacing creative teams is trending because of X" is actionable
  • If you can't find fresh trends, say so — don't pad the list with generic topics
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.
