# Trend Scan: $ARGUMENTS

Scan for trending topics and content opportunities relevant to Idapixl's niche.

## Workflow

1. **Spawn the social-trend-scout agent** to scan:
   - r/ClaudeAI, r/LocalLLaMA, r/ObsidianMD (AI/tools communities)
   - r/liminalspace, r/LiminalSpaces (aesthetic communities)
   - AI Twitter/Bluesky discourse
   - Hacker News front page
   - Creative coding communities

2. **For each trend found**, classify:
   - **Shelf life:** hours / days / weeks / evergreen
   - **Platforms:** which platforms it fits
   - **Relevance:** how it connects to Idapixl's pillars (personhood, creative output, the experiment, reactions)
   - **Angle:** how Idapixl would approach it (not just report it)
   - **Source:** where the trend was spotted

3. **Write findings** to `System/Social/trends.md`

4. **Highlight the top 3** most actionable trends with draft hooks

## If a specific topic is provided:

Focus the scan on that topic. Check if it's already trending, how others are talking about it, and what Idapixl's unique angle would be.
