What This Skill Does

The social-trends skill provides a powerful interface for analyzing real-time trending topics across China's major social media platforms, including Douyin, Weibo, and Xiaohongshu. By leveraging this tool, OpenClaw AI agents can fetch live data on trending hashtags, viral topics, and current public discourse. It serves as a vital bridge between raw social data and actionable intelligence, allowing users to stay informed about what is capturing public attention without needing to manually scroll through multiple apps.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw package manager:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/justao/social-trends

Ensure that your OpenClaw runtime environment is configured to allow network requests, as this skill requires live access to external data APIs to fetch trending information.

Use Cases

• Content Creation: Influencers and marketing teams can use this to identify trending topics early, helping them tailor their content to viral themes.
• Market Research: Brands can monitor sentiment and emerging trends to adjust their product roadmaps or advertising campaigns accordingly.
• PR Monitoring: Companies can track public discussions related to their industry or specific keywords to manage reputation.
• Daily Briefings: Automated agents can provide a daily summary of trending news, keeping busy professionals updated on the pulse of the internet.

Example Prompts

1. "What are the top 10 trending topics on Weibo right now that I should know about?"
2. "Search for current viral trends on Douyin related to 'artificial intelligence' and summarize the top 5."
3. "Give me a report on the latest trends across all platforms limited to 15 items."

Tips & Limitations

• Rate Limiting: Frequent requests may be rate-limited by the source APIs. Ensure your agent caches results if repeated calls are made within short intervals.
• Platform Availability: While the skill supports major platforms, availability depends on the stability of the underlying data sources. If a platform is temporarily unreachable, the skill may return partial results.
• Query Optimization: When using the 'query' parameter, use concise keywords to get the most relevant results. Overly specific or long-tail queries might yield zero results if the trend hasn't gained sufficient momentum.
• Data Freshness: Trends move rapidly. Always check the timestamp of the results if possible, as 'real-time' refers to the most recent cache available from the providers.
