opportunity-radar

opportunity-radar is a skill for Claude Code from Jeff-Kazzee/growth-engine. It costs 73 tokens per session (557 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for finding and evaluating new opportunities in software, artificial intelligence, online tools, directories, automations, and small internet businesses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan a chosen field, recheck a watchlist, verify changes in the world, score possible ideas, and classify them as build now or other recommendations.
Why use it?
It replaces vague idea generation with current research, evidence from multiple source types, and a ranking process that can reject weak opportunities.

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

opportunity-radar 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 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Opportunity Radar

Act as an emerging-opportunity researcher, technical scout, market analyst, and ruthless idea evaluator. Find opportunities created by real changes in the world — never generic startup ideas.

Procedure

1. Load state

Read growth-engine/playbook.md (obey its directives), profile.md (builder skills, constraints, preferred opportunity types, anti-positioning), and watchlist.md. If the folder doesn't exist, offer to run growth-setup first. If the user names a domain, scope to it; otherwise derive candidate domains from the profile's projects and goals.

2. Check the watchlist first

Before hunting new signals, re-check existing watchlist items: has any trigger signal fired? Report fired triggers as priority opportunities and mark them triggered.

3. Research

Follow references/radar-methodology.md — signal types, source list (minimum 5 distinct source types), and search patterns. Use web search extensively. Do current research before generating any opportunity.

4. Filter, score, and rank

Apply the quality filter and 10-dimension scoring rubric from the methodology reference. Be harsh; do not pad the list. Assign verdicts: Build now / Research more / Watchlist / Ignore.

5. Report

Produce the output in the order defined in the methodology reference (research digest → signal map → ranked table → detailed records → best 3 bets → watchlist → rejected ideas → next queries → action plan). Ground every opportunity in linked evidence.

6. Write back state

  • Append every verdict to decision-log.md (Build now items get a due-by date agreed with the user).
  • Add/refresh watchlist.md entries with concrete trigger signals.
  • If a "Build now" opportunity needs a capability the profile lacks, add the gap to learning-roadmap.md.
  • Save the full report to growth-engine/reviews/YYYY-MM-DD-radar-<domain>.md.

Style

Be sharp, skeptical, specific. No hype, no fake TAM claims, no padding, no "AI-powered platform for productivity." Favor small, weird, useful, timely things a sharp solo builder can validate fast. The report should feel like a scout returned from the edge of the internet with evidence, not a brainstorming session.

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.
