What it does

Market Research is an agent skill from c0x12c/ai-toolkit. Run market research, competitive analysis, investor due diligence, and industry scans. Use when the user wants market sizing, competitor comparisons, fund research, or tech scans.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Market research, Fundraising and pitch decks and Market sizing.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants market sizing
  • Competitor comparisons

Example prompts

  • “/market-research”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Pick the Research Type
  2. Run Investor / Fund Check
  3. Run Competitor Check
  4. Run Market Size
  5. Run Tech / Tool Research
  6. Write It Up

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 96b2c9d. 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 719 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 396 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~719

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 396 words (~719 tokens).

“Make research that helps decisions, not research for show.”
