market-research is a skill for Claude Code from fatihkan/badi. It costs 0 tokens per session (708 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of market-research procedures for checking demand, finding focused customer groups, comparing competitors, estimating opportunity size, and testing pricing or positioning before building a product.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate an idea, discover a niche, quote evidence from potential customers, compare alternatives, estimate market size, and decide whether an opportunity is worth building.
Why use it?
It helps reduce the risk of spending development time on an idea that people do not need, will not pay for, or that is too crowded to pursue.

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 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 4d 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.

Market Research Skills

Structured procedures for validating demand and sizing an opportunity before you build. Pairs with the market-researcher agent and the /market command; for App Store metrics use badi market.

Skill List

1. Demand validation

Confirm a real, expressed need exists before committing build time.

  • Search the language users actually use (forums, reviews, search suggest, social).
  • Distinguish vitamin (nice-to-have) from painkiller (urgent, paid-for) demand.
  • Look for existing spend: are people already paying for a worse alternative?
  • Output: a demand verdict (strong / weak / none) with the evidence quoted.

2. Niche discovery

Find an under-served, winnable segment instead of a crowded horizontal.

  • Decompose a broad market into segments by user, use-case, and platform.
  • Score each on demand × competition × your unfair advantage.
  • Prefer a narrow segment you can dominate over a wide one you can't.

3. Opportunity sizing

Put a credible number on the prize.

  • Top-down (category size × reachable share) sanity-checked bottom-up (reachable users × conversion × price).
  • State assumptions explicitly; size a range, not a false-precise point.
  • Flag when the honest answer is "too small to matter".

4. Competitor + gap analysis

Map who's already here and where the opening is.

  • List incumbents; for each: positioning, pricing, strengths, weak reviews.
  • Mine 1-2★ reviews of incumbents for the unmet need to build around.
  • Name the specific gap (segment, feature, price point, channel) to win on.

5. Positioning + pricing signal

Decide how to enter, not just whether.

  • Anchor pricing to the value/alternative, not cost; find the willingness-to-pay band.
  • Draft a one-line positioning: for [who] who [need], [product] is [category] that [benefit].
  • Identify the wedge channel where the target user already congregates.

6. Go / shrink / pass decision

Convert research into a decision.

  • Synthesize demand + size + gap into a verdict with a confidence level.
  • Define the single kill-signal that would reverse a "go".
  • Record the read so /ceo-review can challenge it.

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.
