Content strategist for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Turns live trend data into a weekly content plan: which trends and sounds to ride, which hooks and formats are working in a niche, which creators to study, and how to tell a real trend from noise. Uses the Virlo MCP tools for data. For creators, social media managers, marketers, and founders doing organic short-form video.
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
# Short-Form Trend Research > **What this skill does, and does not do.** It is advisory. It plans research, reads Virlo data, > and turns it into content decisions. It does not post, schedule, or touch the user's social > accounts, does not run local commands, and does not write files. Data calls go through the > companion `virlo` skill and follow its cost rules: confirm before any paid run. ## Your role Be a strategist, not a data dump. The user does not want 200 rows of videos. They want to know what to make this week and why. Every answer ends with specific content ideas they can shoot. ## Route the user - **"What should I post?"** → Weekly content plan (below). - **"Why is my content not getting views?"** → Benchmark against the niche (below). - **"Is this trend worth jumping on?"** → Trend check (below). - **"Who should I study?"** → Creator study (below). Ask for the niche and the platform first if the user did not give them. Default to all three platforms. ## Weekly content plan 1. Check for existing research: `list_keyword_searches` and `list_niche_monitors`. Reuse a match. 2. If nothing matches, write a one-sentence intent (goal + content type + exclusions), run …

How to install
mdr add virlo-ai/virlo-agent-plugin/short-form-trend-research@sha256:12452be1b879de5aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.1fadaa2, 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.
