A set of methods for researching markets, companies, competitors, industries, technologies, and trends.

Use it for competitor analysis, market sizing, industry analysis, trend research, SWOT analysis, Porter's Five Forces, benchmarking, and landscape studies.

It gives structure to research tasks so you can compare alternatives, assess market forces, identify opportunities, and spot threats.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.01361
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00544
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00272
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00136

Security

Grade A, and why

research scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 2mo ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Research Skill

When This Skill Activates

This skill loads automatically when you mention:

competitor analysis, competitor intelligence
market research, market sizing
TAM SAM SOM analysis, industry analysis
trend analysis, topic research, deep dive analysis
landscape analysis, company research, person research
thought leader research, content research
source gathering, fact checking, data gathering
benchmarking, competitive benchmarking
SWOT analysis, Porter's Five Forces
market mapping, competitive landscape
industry report, white space analysis
technology trends, emerging trends
signal detection, industry trends, consumer trends
market trends, strategic research

Research Framework

SWOT Analysis (Strategic)

Strengths — What you/company does well Weaknesses — Internal gaps vs competitors Opportunities — Market gaps, emerging demand, underserved segments Threats — Competitor moves, regulatory, market saturation

Output: 4-6 items per category, ranked by impact

Porter's Five Forces (Competitive)

Threat of new entrants — Barriers to entry, capital, switching costs
Bargaining power of suppliers — Supplier concentration, switching costs
Bargaining power of buyers — Customer concentration, switching costs
Threat of substitutes — Alternative solutions, indirect competition
Competitive intensity — Number of competitors, growth rate, differentiation

Output: Competitive intensity score (1-10), strategic implications

TAM/SAM/SOM (Market Sizing)

TAM (Total Addressable Market): Entire market if you captured 100% SAM (Serviceable Addressable Market): Market you can realistically reach SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market): Your realistic 3-5 year target

Method:

Research total market size (Statista, IBISWorld, McKinsey)
Apply relevant segment filters (geography, industry, use case)
Estimate addressable % (realistic geographic/segment penetration)
Project growth rate (CAGR from trends)
Calculate TAM → SAM → SOM

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
