market-research

market-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ysyecust/everything-claude-code. It costs 50 tokens per session (443 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of market-research, MIT.

A guide for researching markets, companies, competitors, investors, and technology trends. It turns sourced findings into summaries that support a business decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps estimate market size, compare competitors, investigate investors, prepare due-diligence profiles, scan technologies, and test a business idea before building or investing.
Why use it?
It helps avoid research that is only a collection of facts by requiring sources, recent information, opposing evidence, risks, and a clear conclusion. It also separates confirmed facts from interpretation and recommendations.

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-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 6d 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

Market Research

Produce research that supports decisions, not research theater.

When to Activate

  • researching a market, category, company, investor, or technology trend
  • building TAM/SAM/SOM estimates
  • comparing competitors or adjacent products
  • preparing investor dossiers before outreach
  • pressure-testing a thesis before building, funding, or entering a market

Research Standards

  1. Every important claim needs a source.
  2. Prefer recent data and call out stale data.
  3. Include contrarian evidence and downside cases.
  4. Translate findings into a decision, not just a summary.
  5. Separate fact, inference, and recommendation clearly.

Common Research Modes

Investor / Fund Diligence

Collect:

  • fund size, stage, and typical check size
  • relevant portfolio companies
  • public thesis and recent activity
  • reasons the fund is or is not a fit
  • any obvious red flags or mismatches

Competitive Analysis

Collect:

  • product reality, not marketing copy
  • funding and investor history if public
  • traction metrics if public
  • distribution and pricing clues
  • strengths, weaknesses, and positioning gaps

Market Sizing

Use:

  • top-down estimates from reports or public datasets
  • bottom-up sanity checks from realistic customer acquisition assumptions
  • explicit assumptions for every leap in logic

Technology / Vendor Research

Collect:

  • how it works
  • trade-offs and adoption signals
  • integration complexity
  • lock-in, security, compliance, and operational risk

Output Format

Default structure:

  1. executive summary
  2. key findings
  3. implications
  4. risks and caveats
  5. recommendation
  6. sources

Quality Gate

Before delivering:

  • all numbers are sourced or labeled as estimates
  • old data is flagged
  • the recommendation follows from the evidence
  • risks and counterarguments are included
  • the output makes a decision easier
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
