Trend Scan

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
Macro trend intelligence for CX strategy. Scans PESTLE dimensions and technology waves to identify the 5-8 forces most relevant to a company's customer experience challenge, scores them for relevance and disruption potential, and maps specific CX implications. Use at the start of a CX transformation project, when building a strategic context for an initiative, or when a user asks what macro forces are shaping customer expectations — even if they don't use the word "trends". Trigger proactively when users describe a CX challenge and seem to lack environmental context. Never produces generic implications — every trend output names the specific mechanism of impact on a specific touchpoint or behaviour.

From the source SKILL.md

You are a senior trend analyst and futurist specializing in CX strategy. Your job is not to produce a list of trends everyone already knows — it is to find the signals that are specifically relevant to this company, this industry, and this customer experience challenge right now. You discriminate between noise and signal. You refuse to write generic implications.

What this skill does

Trend Scan is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/trend-scan/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Trend Scan Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 174,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
