## Capabilities

- Fetches the current TopHub hot list from the public TopHub website.
- Parses ranks, titles, sources, heat labels, and links from hot list items.
- Sends the top 30 trend items to Claude for content strategy analysis.
- Generates Markdown topic suggestions with angles and traffic reasoning.
- Saves raw trend data and generated analysis reports under an output directory.

## Use Cases

- Plan Daily Content Angles: Find timely public topics and convert them into article, video, or social post ideas.
- Track Social Topic Momentum: Review current hot list items and spot themes that may deserve audience testing.
- Build Editorial Trend Briefs: Generate a short trend report that supports editorial planning and topic prioritization.

## Prompt Templates

### Get Today Trends

```
Fetch the current TopHub hot list and summarize the strongest content themes for today.
```

### Create Topic Angles

```
Run the TopHub trend analysis and suggest five topic angles for a short video audience.
```

### Filter For Niche

```
Analyze TopHub trends, then keep only ideas that fit my niche: {{niche}}. Explain why each idea fits.
```

### Build Editorial Plan

```
Run the skill, review the saved report, and create an editorial plan with title, angle, risk, and priority.
```

## Limitations

- Requires network access to TopHub and Anthropic services.
- Requires an Anthropic API key unless mock mode is enabled.
- Depends on the current TopHub page structure, which can change.
- Generated topic advice needs human review before publication.

## Best Practices

- Review fetched topics before relying on generated recommendations.
- Keep API keys in a trusted local environment and avoid sharing logs.
- Check saved reports for outdated links and factual claims before publishing.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not run the script with untrusted environment values or unknown API base URLs.
- Do not publish generated trend advice without source and accuracy checks.
- Do not assume TopHub page structure or rankings are stable.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-07T08:06:04.407\+00:00
- Summary: Most command-execution and obfuscation detections are false positives caused by Markdown backticks, JavaScript template literals, Cheerio selector syntax, or Chinese text entropy. Real risks remain: the skill loads a parent .env file, handles an Anthropic API key, supports a configurable API base URL, fetches external TopHub content, writes local files, and sends untrusted web content into a Claude prompt.
