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

product-demand-research 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 13d 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.

What it actually says

Product Demand Research

Overview

Use public social data to understand whether people actually complain about, ask for, buy, hack around, or recommend solutions in a product category. The output should help founders and marketers decide what to build, position, or test.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

  • validate a startup or product idea
  • find pain points in a niche
  • mine Reddit/TikTok/YouTube comments for product ideas
  • find buyer language and objections
  • understand alternatives people use today
  • create messaging from demand evidence

Signals to Extract

  • repeated complaints
  • "I wish" / "is there a tool" / "how do I" phrases
  • workarounds and spreadsheets/manual processes
  • comparison and alternative mentions
  • buying intent
  • objections to existing solutions
  • exact words people use for the problem

Workflow

  1. Turn the idea into search queries and synonyms.
  2. Search Reddit and relevant social platforms.
  3. Pull comments/transcripts for promising posts/videos.
  4. Cluster pains, triggers, alternatives, and desired outcomes.
  5. Score demand by frequency, intensity, recency, and willingness-to-pay hints.
  6. Produce messaging and product implications.

Output Format

# Product Demand Research: {idea/category}

## Verdict
- Demand signal: Strong/Medium/Weak
- Confidence: High/Medium/Low
- Why:

## Pain Points
| Pain | Evidence | Exact language | Source |
|---|---|---|---|

## Existing Alternatives / Workarounds
- ...

## Objections and Barriers
- ...

## Messaging Angles
- "..."

## Product Ideas / Tests
1. ...
2. ...

Common Pitfalls

  • Do not claim market validation from a handful of comments.
  • Do not ignore negative evidence or existing alternatives.
  • Do not paraphrase away the best customer language.

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.
