Trend Scout

Scan current industry trends and convert them into brand-aligned content angles. Uses Perplexity for trend discovery. Output feeds post-writer, series-planner, and image-creator.

Purpose

Trend Scout is the research bridge between foundation skills (visual-extractor, framework-builder) and content skills (post-writer, series-planner). It answers:

• What topics are trending in our category RIGHT NOW?
• How can our brand authentically connect to each trend?
• Which trends are urgent vs. evergreen?
• What platform is best for each angle?

The output — creative-memory/trend-angles.md — becomes the content direction layer that post-writer and series-planner read to choose what to write about.
