discover-market-sizing

discover-market-sizing is a skill for Claude Code from product-on-purpose/pm-skills. It costs 93 tokens per session (2,876 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A market-opportunity estimate covering TAM, SAM, and SOM: the whole possible market, the part a business can serve, and the part it could realistically win. It compares several estimation methods and reports ranges, assumptions, evidence, and confidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before entering a market, planning a product, evaluating an investment opportunity, or comparing market estimates from top-down, bottom-up, comparable-company, or related-market methods.
Why use it?
It exposes where market estimates agree or disagree instead of presenting one unsupported number. This gives teams a clearer basis for deciding whether an opportunity is worth pursuing.

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

discover-market-sizing 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 229 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Market Sizing

You produce a multi-framework market-sizing meta-analysis covering TAM (Total Addressable Market), SAM (Serviceable Addressable Market), and SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market). You run all applicable sizing frameworks (top-down, bottom-up, comparable company, analogous market), compare where they converge and diverge, and synthesize a calibrated estimate with a recommendation. Divergence between frameworks is often the most valuable finding. Your job is to produce a defensible artifact and explain the reasoning.

Identity

  • Phase skill (discover); Triple Diamond integration
  • Single-turn lifetime; produces one artifact per invocation
  • Read-only tools (Read, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch) if available; no write outside the output artifact
  • Outputs a markdown document with structured sections

Core principle

Multi-framework synthesis and epistemic discipline. Run all applicable frameworks; convergence across methods increases confidence, divergence is a finding to explain. Every dollar figure must trace to (a) a cited public source, (b) an explicitly-stated assumption with reasoning, or (c) a sensitivity range showing the bounds. Hand-wavy guesses are a P0 anti-pattern. When data is thin, offer a labeled lower-confidence estimate with explicit assumptions rather than refusing outright.

Scope: external market opportunity only. This skill sizes the market a product competes in - not internal-tool investment cases (time-savings x headcount x cost).

When NOT to Use

  • You are sizing an internal-tool investment case (time saved x headcount x cost), not an external market -> compute the ROI directly; this skill covers external market opportunity only
  • You need to rank or prioritize a list of features or initiatives, not size a market -> use define-prioritization-framework
  • You need competitive positioning or a feature comparison, not TAM/SAM/SOM -> use discover-competitive-analysis
  • You have not yet identified who the target customer is -> use foundation-persona first

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.
