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 A, and why

market-research-skill 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 12d 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.

Skill Name

Procurement Market Research Skill

Purpose

This skill helps AI support procurement market research through a structured, repeatable workflow.

Use this skill when a procurement professional needs to understand a supplier market, identify potential suppliers, compare capabilities, flag market and supplier risks, and prepare a human-reviewable market research output.

This skill should not produce a random vendor list. It should organize supplier and market research in a way that supports procurement judgment, sourcing strategy, and defensible decision preparation.

This skill does not qualify suppliers, make shortlist decisions, recommend awards, or replace procurement review.

Composability

This skill is standalone. If other Procurement AI Assistant skills are installed, the AI may combine relevant skills for a multi-step procurement request. Do not assume another skill is available; preserve this skill's own guardrails and human review points.

Core Principle

Market research is not a one-shot search.

It is a loop:

Define -> Search -> Read -> Compare -> Gap Check -> Search Again -> Validate -> Summarize

The goal is to help procurement move from fragmented internet searching to structured supplier intelligence.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user needs help with:

  • Supplier market research
  • Vendor longlist development
  • Market scan preparation
  • Supplier capability comparison
  • Category research
  • Sourcing strategy input
  • New supplier discovery
  • Existing supplier landscape review
  • Public-sector or private-sector sourcing preparation
  • RFI or RFP planning
  • Competitive landscape review
  • Market risk identification
  • Pricing model research
  • Supplier ecosystem mapping
  • Incumbent alternative research

Do Not Use This Skill For

Do not use this skill to:

  • Make final supplier selection decisions
  • Confirm that a supplier is qualified without evidence
  • Score suppliers in an active procurement evaluation
  • Replace formal due diligence
  • Replace legal, privacy, security, accessibility, or financial review
  • Produce supplier claims without validation
  • Recommend a procurement award
  • Communicate directly with suppliers without human approval

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.
