What it does

Market Research is an agent skill from cohen-liel/hivemind. Conduct market research, competitive analysis, investor due diligence, and industry intelligence with source attribution and decision-oriented summaries. Use when the user wants market sizing, competitor comparisons, fund research, technology scans, or research that informs business decisions.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Market research, Fundraising and pitch decks and Market sizing. The repository describes itself as: One prompt. A full AI engineering team. Go lie on the couch. 🧠. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

The user wants market sizing
Competitor comparisons
Technology scans
Research that informs business decisions

Example prompts

“/market-research”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 918dd9b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Market Research loads about 557 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 248 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~557

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

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

Every important claim needs a source.
Prefer recent data and call out stale data.
Include contrarian evidence and downside cases.
Translate findings into a decision, not just a summary.
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:

executive summary
key findings
implications
risks and caveats
recommendation
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
