What it does
The posts that did far better than usual for that account, with the reasons why and a swipe file to learn from. Raw view counts miss this, since big accounts always get big numbers. You list creators, competitors or your own accounts. The skill pulls recent public posts on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook or X through ScrapeCreators, then works out each account's normal level. A post counts as an outlier if it beats that baseline by a wide margin. It adds transcripts where it can, looks for repeat patterns in hooks, format and topic, and gives source links with practical takeaways. Needs a ScrapeCreators API key, which is a paid service.
