dev-swarm-stage-market-research

dev-swarm-stage-market-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from X-School-Academy/skill-pilot. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,034 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for researching a market and comparing competing products. It checks earlier project material before producing research-stage work and helps identify market gaps and opportunities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate competitors, market size, trends, opportunities, and the evidence behind a new product idea.
Why use it?
Starting product development without understanding customers, competitors, or market conditions can lead to solving the wrong problem. This workflow makes that research an explicit early step.

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

dev-swarm-stage-market-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 16d 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 — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Stage 01 - Market Research

Conduct comprehensive market research and competitive analysis to validate the problem, understand the market landscape, identify competitors, and discover market gaps and opportunities.

When to Use This Skill

  • User asks to start stage 01 (market-research)
  • User wants to research competitors or market landscape
  • User asks about market size, trends, or opportunities

Your Roles in This Skill

See dev-swarm/docs/general-dev-stage-rule.md for role selection guidance.

Role Communication

See dev-swarm/docs/general-dev-stage-rule.md for the required role announcement format.

Pre-Stage Check

Before starting, verify previous stages:

  1. Check if 00-init-ideas/ folder has content (not just .gitkeep)
  2. If previous stage is empty and has no SKIP.md:
    • Ask user: "Stage 00 is not complete. Would you like to skip it or start from that stage first?"

Instructions

Step 1: Context Review

Read all files to understand the project:

  • ideas.md
  • 00-init-ideas/*.md - All markdown files

Step 2: Create Stage Proposal

General Rules: See dev-swarm/docs/general-dev-stage-rule.md → "Create Stage Proposal Rules" section.

If this stage is skipped (has SKIP.md), execute the next non-skipped stage's agent skill. Otherwise, create the file 01-market-research/README.md with the following content:

2.1 Stage Goal

Brief the goal in 2-3 paragraphs:

  • What this stage aims to achieve
  • Why market research is critical for product success
  • How this builds upon previous stages
  • What deliverables will be produced
2.2 File Selection

Select files from these options based on project needs:

Market Analysis:

  • competitive-analysis.md - In-depth analysis of direct and indirect competitors
  • similar-products.md - Research on similar products in the market
  • market-size-opportunity.md - TAM, SAM, SOM analysis

Strategic Analysis:

  • swot-analysis.md - Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis
  • market-trends.md - Current industry trends and market direction
  • market-gaps.md - Identified gaps in the market

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.
