When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Market research
  • Tasks that involve Deep research
  • Tasks that involve Supply chain security

Example prompts

  • “/market-research”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Glob, AskUserQuestion, Skill, WebSearch, WebFetch

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect sector, geography, and focus
  2. Source hierarchy
  3. Build the report (silent)
  4. Write the output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • Glob
    • AskUserQuestion
    • Skill
    • WebSearch
    • WebFetch

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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 4.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,707 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.5k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Glob, AskUserQuestion, Skill, WebSearch, WebFetch

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,707 words (~4,537 tokens).

“Only stop to ask the user when: the sector or geography is undefined, or a non-standard analysis focus is requested. Never stop to ask about: data source selection (use the source hierarchy), section ordering, Porter / PESTLE structure, or output…”
