What it does

Once installed, the agent follows a structured research method when you ask about a market, competitor, investor, or technology. It labels every important claim with a source, flags old data, separates facts from guesses and recommendations, and includes contrarian evidence and downside cases. The output follows a fixed format: executive summary, key findings, implications, risks, recommendation, and sources, so it reads as a decision aid rather than a raw summary.

Great for

  • Founders or product managers testing whether a market or idea is worth pursuing
  • Anyone preparing a competitor comparison or market size estimate
  • People researching investors or funds before outreach

Skip it if

  • Situations needing verified live data: the skill only gives instructions and does not itself fetch sources, so the agent's own search access determines what it can find (and it may be out of date)
  • Legal, financial, or investment decisions that need professional advice; the skill is a research method, not a substitute for expert review

Try asking

  • “Estimate the TAM, SAM, and SOM for a meal-planning app in the US, with assumptions stated for each step”
  • “Compare the top five project management tools on product, pricing, funding, and positioning gaps”
  • “Build an investor dossier on seed funds that back developer tools, including red flags and fit”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Name the decision you need to make upfront so the recommendation targets it
  • Provide or allow web search so the agent can find and cite current sources; check cited sources yourself before relying on them
  • Ask for explicit assumptions in market sizing so you can change the numbers and rerun
