size-market

size-market is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Agent-Engineer-Master/skill-engineer. It costs 176 tokens per session (2,184 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A market-sizing analysis for a defined industry or smaller market segment. It estimates total potential demand (TAM), the serviceable part (SAM), and the realistically obtainable part (SOM) using both broad market data and detailed segment estimates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to estimate market size, compare growth across at least three sub-segments, test whether a market is growing and changing quickly, and document the sources and assumptions behind the estimates.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of relying on one broad growth figure that hides differences between smaller segments. It also makes large gaps between independent estimates visible for review.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

size-market scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate_sizing.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Size Market

For a defined industry or sub-segment, produce a granular market sizing using McKinsey G3 decomposition + arenas qualification screen. Output: market-sizing.md with explicit de-averaging.

The discipline (McKinsey G3 / granular growth): aggregate market growth rates are misleading. G3-level sub-segment portfolio choice explains ~65% of organic top-line growth. Always decompose before accepting any aggregate rate.

Iron rules:

  • Every numeric claim carries a V/C/A/I tag — see ../_shared/provenance-tagging.md.
  • ≥3 sub-segment growth rates required (Quick mode) or ≥5 (Deep mode). Single-rate sizing fails validation.
  • Top-down + bottom-up triangulation required; gap >25% triggers reconciliation; gap <5% triggers circular-sourcing check.
  • Arenas screen run — does the market qualify (high growth + high dynamism) per McKinsey 2024 criteria?
  • Definition locked at intake; base currency declared; sources <24mo old (or justified as still current).

Process

1. Intake — lock the analysis frame

Confirm and write to output header: industry slug, geographic scope, base currency (default USD), reporting year (current 2026), time horizon (current + 3-5yr), depth (Quick = TAM+SAM + ≥3 G3 / Deep = TAM+SAM+SOM + ≥5 G3 + share-shift data), and a one-sentence definition lock (what's in, what's out). Read references/sizing-methodology.md "Intake" before research.

2. Top-down sizing

Read references/sizing-methodology.md "Top-down" + references/data-sources.md. Source order: regulatory filings, trade bodies, government stats, syndicated paid (IBISWorld, Gartner, etc.), sell-side analyst notes. Never cite an AI aggregator (Perplexity, ChatGPT) without the underlying source. Capture: total market value, currency, year, geographic basis, definition used. Reconcile to locked definition. Every figure tagged V/C/A/I with report name + year + section.

3. Bottom-up sizing

Read references/sizing-methodology.md "Bottom-up". Estimate via volume × price, customers × spend × penetration, or value-theory (benefit × capture rate). Use independent sources — not the same report as top-down (circular sourcing fails). Apply the 10-customer test: can you name 10 specific customers in this market? Every assumption tagged. Software/SaaS markets (industry slug or definition contains any of: saas, software, cloud, platform, api, developer tools, observability, security software, fintech-software) must include value-theory as a required third triangulation leg — unit counts are noisy and value-per-customer is more defensible.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

size-market is a skill published in the GitHub repository Agent-Engineer-Master/skill-engineer (8 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 176 tokens to every session and 2,184 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (hidden instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
