Use to ride a trend — a trending sound, format, meme, hashtag, news moment, or cultural conversation — to earn reach by attaching the brand to something already getting attention (a.k.a. trendjacking / newsjacking). Run when the user says "trend," "trending," "jump on this trend," "trendjack," "newsjack," "is this trend worth doing," "make this go viral," or wants to react to a current moment. Reads brand-profile, voice, and audience first, then runs three gates — FIT, SAFETY, and TIMING —…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Trend-Jacking Riding a trend can earn reach a brand could never buy — or get it dragged. The difference is discipline. Trend-jacking works only when a trend is **a fit, safe to touch, and still rising**, and most brand failures come from skipping one of those checks: forcing an irrelevant trend, touching a sensitive moment, or arriving late. So this skill is mostly **judgment**. Before anything gets made, a trend runs three gates: 1. **FIT** — can you add a genuine angle, or are you just slapping your logo on someone's moment? 2. **SAFETY** — would a brand inserting itself here look opportunistic, tone-deaf, or exploitative? 3. **TIMING** — is the trend still on the way up, or already saturated? **Any single fail = don't do it.** Fit and safety are checked *before* timing — a fast post on an unfit or unsafe trend is just a fast mistake. (Full framework: `references/the-three-gates.md`.) > Honest scope: this skill **vets and executes**. It does **not** know what's trending right now — > live trends change hourly and can't be recalled from training data. The user brings a specific …

How to install
mdr add social-media-skills/skills/trend-jacking@sha256:9acef1b4d01dbb09The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
