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

mckinsey-market-research-deck 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

McKinsey-Style Market-Research Deck

Build a research-backed, visually elite, page-turning deck (HTML reviewed on screen → PDF for sharing). This skill is the distilled, reusable playbook. Read the four reference files as you reach each phase — do not try to hold all of it in head at once.

  • references/methodology.md — how to do the research and what each section must contain
  • references/design-system.md — the locked visual contract (tokens, page types, layout laws)
  • ../mckinsey-deck/assets/deck_engine.pythe canonical engine (owned by the mckinsey-deck style skill; this skill consumes it — never fork a local copy, that's how drift starts)
  • references/qc-checklist.md — the self-verify pass before delivery
  • references/image-handoff.md — the template that hands product/cover images to an image generator

The 7-page spine (always)

  1. The Answer — one answer_slide() right after the cover: the governing thought (the full recommendation in one sentence) + 3–4 pillar conclusions with key numbers. Pyramid Principle: the answer comes first; the rest of the deck is its proof. Drafted in Phase 1.5, finalized last.
  2. Market Overview — size, growth, channel, the structural shift
  3. Brand Landscape — Good/Better/Best ladder + brand-by-brand profiles
  4. Product Categories — per-subcategory competitor price ladder + pain points + the brand's lineup
  5. Customer Pain Points — sourced failure modes, each one a selling-point opening
  6. Opportunities — pain points → product direction
  7. The Solution — positioning, pricing/packaging, the line plan, and the decision pages (bottom-up market sizing, economics, business case) + the thesis

End with a full source register (every URL, numbered).

Workflow (run in order)

Phase 0 — Scope + Day-1 hypothesis

Get: the brand, the parent retailer/company, the category, the geography, the SKU-count target, and the strategic question (usually "what line should we build and why"). Confirm the deck is the deliverable (pure market research), not a precursor needing first-party data. Then write the Day-1 hypothesis — a one-paragraph draft of the answer ("we believe X because A/B/C") before researching. It steers the research (80/20: go deep only on the branches that confirm or kill it) and it is there to be falsified, not defended — revise it whenever the evidence disagrees, and say so in the deck.

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.
