What is solo-research?

A research workflow for gathering evidence about an idea, its competitors, market demand, size, and domain-name availability.

It is for researching competitors, checking market opportunities, estimating market size, and checking whether a domain name is available.

It helps replace guesswork with evidence before deciding whether an idea is worth pursuing.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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	$0.00056	$0.04092
Opus 5	$0.00028	$0.02046
Sonnet 5	$0.00011	$0.00818
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00409

Measured 10d ago against content hash a5565973773a, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-09, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

solo-research scanned grade A 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 281 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/research

Deep research before PRD generation. Produces a structured research.md with competitive analysis, user pain points, SEO/ASO keywords, naming/domain options, and market sizing.

MCP Tools (use if available)

If MCP tools are available, prefer them over CLI:

kb_search(query, n_results) — search knowledge base for related docs
web_search(query, engines, include_raw_content) — web search with engine routing
web_extract(url, size, page) — one page as clean markdown, boilerplate removed
session_search(query, project) — find how similar research was done before
project_info(name) — check project details and stacks
codegraph_explain(project) — architecture overview of an existing project (stack, patterns, deps)
codegraph_query(query) — raw Cypher queries against code graph (find shared packages, dependencies)
project_code_search(query, project) — semantic search over project source code

MCP web_search supports engine override: engines="reddit", engines="youtube", etc. For reading one page in full, prefer web_extract over include_raw_content: it runs trafilatura, so navigation and footers are gone and tables survive. size="s|m|l" caps at 5k/10k/25k chars, size="f" paginates the whole document and page=2 walks it. If MCP tools are not available, use WebSearch/WebFetch as primary. If MCP web_search tool is available, use it for better results.

Reddit Search Best Practices

Max 3 keywords in reddit queries — more keywords = fewer results
Good: "product hunt outreach launch" — Bad: "product hunt scraper maker profiles linkedin outreach launch strategy"
include_raw_content=true rarely works for Reddit — use fallback chain below

Reddit Content Access — Fallback Chain

When a search finds a relevant Reddit post, reading its full content requires a fallback chain:

1. MCP Playwright (old.reddit.com)     ← BEST: bypasses CAPTCHA, full post + comments
2. PullPush API (api.pullpush.io)      ← search by query/subreddit/author/score/date
3. MCP web_extract / web_search raw     ← sometimes works, often truncated
4. WebFetch / WebSearch snippets        ← last resort, partial data only

What ships with it

2 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.

solo-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository fortunto2/solo-factory (18 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 4,092 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
