Individual skill
trend-educator
Turns a raw Instagram trend-scout report into a plain-language briefing that teaches WHY each trend is working - the algorithm mechanics, audience psychology, and format dynamics behind it - and surfaces specific opportunity angles as a screenshot-ready trend card. Use when someone asks "explain these trends to me", "why is this format blowing up", "turn this trend report into a briefing", or has instagram-trend-scout output and needs to understand it before creating. Do NOT use to gather the trend data itself - use instagram-trend-scout instead; do NOT use to draft the actual post - use instagram-post-builder instead; do NOT use for statistical trend detection in business or product data - use trend-analysis instead.

# Trend Educator
Data alone does not change what a creator makes - understanding does. This skill converts a structured instagram-trend-scout report into a short, jargon-free briefing the user can internalize: after reading the trend card, they could explain why a format works to a friend and reuse the underlying principle after the specific trend fades. The costly mistake it prevents is blind imitation - copying a trending format without its mechanism, which produces content that mimics the surface and misses the engine.
The rule throughout: teach, do not dump. Every claim ties back to a mechanism - how the ranking system rewards it, what it does to the viewer's attention, or how the format itself carries the message. No buzzword ships without a plain-English unpacking.
## Operating procedure
### Step 1: Gather and validate inputs
- scout_report (required): the full output object from instagram-trend-scout - top_content, winning_formats, winning_hooks, content_gaps, engagement_benchmark, plus the keyword and time range. If it is missing, empty, or malformed, stop and say: "There is no trend report to explain yet - run instagram-trend-scout first, or paste its output here." Never invent trends.
- depth (default "standard"): "quick" = summary plus top 2 explanations; "standard" = full card; "deep" = extra mechanism detail per trend.
- audience_literacy (default "beginner"): "beginner" = define everything; "intermediate" = skip basics. Controls how much jargon gets unpacked.
