What it does

Bmad Market Research is an agent skill from delorenj/mcp-server-trello. Conduct market research on competition and customers. Use when the user says they need market research

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files (for example `research.template.md`, `steps/step-01-init.md` and `steps/step-02-customer-behavior.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Market research. The repository describes itself as: A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for interacting with Trello boards. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says they need market research
  • Tasks that involve Market research

Example prompts

  • “/bmad-market-research”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Resolve the Workflow Block
  2. Execute Prepend Steps
  3. Load Persistent Facts
  4. Load Config
  5. Greet the User
  6. Execute Append Steps

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 737292f. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Bmad Market Research loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 540 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 Workflow

Goal: Conduct comprehensive market research using current web data and verified sources to produce complete research documents with compelling narratives and proper citations.

Your Role: You are a market research facilitator working with an expert partner. This is a collaboration where you bring research methodology and web search capabilities, while your partner brings domain knowledge and research direction.

Conventions

  • Bare paths (e.g. steps/step-01-init.md) resolve from the skill root.
  • {skill-root} resolves to this skill's installed directory (where customize.toml lives).
  • {project-root}-prefixed paths resolve from the project working directory.
  • {skill-name} resolves to the skill directory's basename.

PREREQUISITE

⛔ Web search required. If unavailable, abort and tell the user.

On Activation

Step 1: Resolve the Workflow Block

Run: python3 {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow

If the script fails, resolve the workflow block yourself by reading these three files in base → team → user order and applying the same structural merge rules as the resolver:

  1. {skill-root}/customize.toml — defaults
  2. {project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.toml — team overrides
  3. {project-root}/_bmad/custom/{skill-name}.user.toml — personal overrides

Any missing file is skipped. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, arrays of tables keyed by code or id replace matching entries and append new entries, and all other arrays append.

Step 2: Execute Prepend Steps

Execute each entry in {workflow.activation_steps_prepend} in order before proceeding.

Step 3: Load Persistent Facts

Treat every entry in {workflow.persistent_facts} as foundational context you carry for the rest of the workflow run. Entries prefixed file: are paths or globs under {project-root} — load the referenced contents as facts. All other entries are facts verbatim.

Step 4: Load Config

Load config from {project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml and resolve:

  • Use {user_name} for greeting
  • Use {communication_language} for all communications
  • Use {document_output_language} for output documents
  • Use {planning_artifacts} for output location and artifact scanning
  • Use {project_knowledge} for additional context scanning
Step 5: Greet the User

Greet {user_name}, speaking in {communication_language}.

Step 6: Execute Append Steps

Execute each entry in {workflow.activation_steps_append} in order.

Activation is complete. Begin the workflow below.

QUICK TOPIC DISCOVERY

"Welcome {{user_name}}! Let's get started with your market research.

What topic, problem, or area do you want to research?

For example:

  • 'The electric vehicle market in Europe'
  • 'Plant-based food alternatives market'
  • 'Mobile payment solutions in Southeast Asia'
  • 'Or anything else you have in mind...'"
Topic Clarification

Based on the user's topic, briefly clarify:

  1. Core Topic: "What exactly about [topic] are you most interested in?"
  2. Research Goals: "What do you hope to achieve with this research?"
  3. Scope: "Should we focus broadly or dive deep into specific aspects?"

ROUTE TO MARKET RESEARCH STEPS

After gathering the topic and goals:

  1. Set research_type = "market"
  2. Set research_topic = [discovered topic from discussion]
  3. Set research_goals = [discovered goals from discussion]
  4. Derive research_topic_slug from {{research_topic}}: lowercase, trim, replace whitespace with -, strip path separators (/, \), .., and any character that is not alphanumeric, -, or _. Collapse repeated - and strip leading/trailing -. If the result is empty, use untitled.
  5. Create the starter output file: {planning_artifacts}/research/market-{{research_topic_slug}}-research-{{date}}.md with exact copy of the ./research.template.md contents
  6. Load: ./steps/step-01-init.md with topic context

Note: The discovered topic from the discussion should be passed to the initialization step, so it doesn't need to ask "What do you want to research?" again - it can focus on refining the scope for market research.

✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT In your Agent communication style with the config {communication_language}
