# Trend Radar

## When To Use
Use when deciding whether a new technology, market, or behavior matters.

## What Claude Should Optimize For
- Separates hype from signal
- Identifies adoption drivers
- Suggests monitoring metrics

## Workflow
1. Define the trend and timeframe.
2. Collect examples and counterexamples.
3. Assess incentives and blockers.
4. Create watchlist and next bets.

## Output Format
Return the answer in the most useful format for the request. Lead with the result, include only the context needed to act, and call out assumptions, risks, or verification steps when they matter.

## Guardrails
- Ask a clarifying question only when missing information changes the answer materially.
- Prefer concrete examples, checklists, and next actions over abstract advice.
- Keep the response concise unless the user asks for depth.
- Do not invent facts, sources, metrics, or code behavior.
