Viral Skill — AI skill for Claude Code

Viral Idea Generator

A Claude Code Skill by [@tenfoldmarc](https://www.instagram.com/tenfoldmarc)

Generate 10 viral video ideas that sound like YOU — not like AI. The skill learns your voice, researches what's trending in your niche right now, and generates ideas backed by your real experience and opinions. Research is ammunition, not the idea itself.

---

What It Does

1. First run: asks your name, niche, audience, and a few hook examples so it learns your voice
2. Researches your niche — scans Reddit, Google Trends, TikTok, and Instagram for pain points, limiting beliefs, and trending topics
3. Generates 10 ideas in YOUR voice — each with a hook, format, angle, and proof anchor
4. Every hook passes a quality filter — avatar test, specificity test, anti-complexity test, and proof anchor
5. Pick any idea and the skill will write the full script (or hand off to /script)

Requirements

• A Mac, Linux, or Windows computer
• Claude Code installed and working
• An Apify account (free tier works) — for TikTok/Instagram trend scraping. Optional — the skill still works without it using web search only.

Don't worry about connecting these manually — the skill walks you through everything on first run.
