market-brief

market-brief is a skill for Claude Code from mishahanin/heading-os. It costs 121 tokens per session (1,247 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A market-research skill for studying a sector, country, region, technology trend, or competitor. It can cover market size, competitors, regulations, timing, and the company’s possible position.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a quick or detailed market brief for a sector, geography, competitor, or technology trend. It can frame the findings around a specific business decision or entry opportunity.
Why use it?
It gathers the main external factors needed for a market decision in one brief. This helps distinguish research about an entire market or region from research about one company.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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-brief 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 1mo 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 Brief

Produce an instant market intelligence brief on a region, country, sector, or competitor.

Variables

topic: [Region / country / competitor / technology trend — e.g., "[target-region] telco market", "a competitor DPI position", "[region] sovereignty regulations", "5G security spending in [region]"]

depth: surface | detailed — default: surface (3-5 key points); detailed (full analysis)

purpose: [What decision or action this brief supports — optional]


Instructions

Before drafting, read:

  • canon/reference/reference/dpi-market-intelligence.md — DPI market data and competitor landscape
  • canon/reference/reference/geopolitical-landscape.md — Regional sovereignty and tech context
  • canon/reference/reference/search-domains.md — Domain filtering for web searches
  • canon/position/context/strategy.md — Strategic priorities to frame relevance
  • ledger/measurement/context/current-data.md — Current positioning and active markets

When searching the web for market intelligence, apply domain filtering from canon/reference/reference/search-domains.md:

  • Use allowed_domains from the topic groups most relevant to the query. Telecom & DPI serves the DPI market, and the relevant regional group serves regional telecom
  • Always apply Blocked Domains as blocked_domains
  • For broad market overview queries, use blocked_domains only

Produce a brief covering:

Surface (3-5 key points):

  • Market size and growth rate (if applicable)
  • Key dynamics and drivers
  • 31C's position and opportunity
  • 2-3 actionable insights for Misha

Detailed (full analysis):

  • All of the above plus:
  • Competitive landscape in this region/sector
  • Regulatory environment
  • Entry timing assessment
  • Recommended positioning approach
  • Specific risks and mitigations

Frame everything through 31C's lens: sovereign, non-aligned, DPI+ category leader, the legacy incumbent vacuum opportunity.


Markets Are Pricing (conditional, Polymarket)

The Polymarket coverage whitelist is AI, big tech, elections, geopolitics, crypto, macro, global sports, and corporate events. See canon/reference/reference/polymarket-coverage.md. If the topic matches it, include a "Markets Are Pricing" section in the brief output.
