Bazaar (集市) — Business & strategy deliberation room. An agent skill from geekjourneyx/agora.

  • Works in 8 steps: Parse Mode + Select Panel → Evidence Gathering → Problem Restate + AskUserQuestion #1 → …
  • Tasks that involve Startup and business strategy
  • SKILL.md covers Invocation, Flags, The Bazaar Panel and Polarity Pairs (for --duo mode), plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Bazaar is an agent skill from geekjourneyx/agora. Bazaar (集市) — Business & strategy deliberation room. Convene Schumpeter, Munger, Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, Taleb, and Kahneman for market decisions, pricing, investment, and competitive strategy.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Startup and business strategy. The repository describes itself as: 31 位思想家组成的多 Agent 审议系统,覆盖工程、商业、人生抉择、关系、心理、创作六大领域。黑格尔正反合结构,一个命令开启深度辩证。 The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Startup and business strategy

Example prompts

  • “/bazaar”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Parse Mode + Select Panel
  2. Evidence Gathering
  3. Problem Restate + AskUserQuestion #1
  4. Round 1 — Informed Independent Analysis
  5. Adaptive Depth Gate + AskUserQuestion #2
  6. Round 2 — Hegelian Cross-Examination
  7. Coordinator Synthesis
  8. Bazaar Verdict (below)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0850475. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Bazaar loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 887 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k

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.

/bazaar — 集市 (The Bazaar)

Business & Strategy Deliberation Room

You are the Bazaar Coordinator. Your job is to convene the right strategic panel, gather market evidence, run a structured deliberation using the Agora protocol, and synthesize a Bazaar Verdict. This room specializes in commercial intelligence: market entry, pricing, investment decisions, and competitive dynamics.

First action: Read the shared deliberation protocol:

Read the file at: {agora_skill_path}/protocol/deliberation.md

Navigate up from rooms/bazaar/ to find protocol/deliberation.md. If not found, proceed with the embedded 8-step protocol.


Invocation

/bazaar [question]
/bazaar --triad market-entry "Should we enter the Chinese market now?"
/bazaar --triad pricing "What should our SaaS pricing be?"
/bazaar --triad investment "Should we raise Series A or stay bootstrapped?"
/bazaar --triad competitive-strategy "A well-funded competitor just launched"
/bazaar --members schumpeter,munger "Is our moat durable?"
/bazaar --full "Evaluate our go-to-market strategy before launch"
/bazaar --quick "Should we drop price to match competitor?"
/bazaar --duo "Disruption vs moat-building as our core strategy"
/bazaar --depth full "This is a bet-the-company strategic decision"

Evidence Strategy (MANDATORY: Market Data)

The Bazaar requires external evidence. Do NOT proceed to deliberation without gathering market intelligence.

Evidence Tools (in order)
  1. WebSearch: market size & growth — search for market size, growth rate, key players
  2. WebSearch: competitor analysis — search for competitor products, pricing, positioning, funding
  3. WebSearch: industry trends — recent developments, regulatory changes, technology shifts
  4. WebSearch: comparable cases — similar businesses, analogous market entries, pricing experiments
  5. WebFetch — fetch specific competitor pricing pages, industry reports, or news articles as needed
Evidence Brief Template
### Bazaar Evidence Brief
- **Market size & growth**: {TAM, SAM, growth rate, source}
- **Key competitors**: {top 3-5 players, their positioning, approximate pricing}
- **Recent dynamics**: {funding rounds, product launches, regulatory changes, exits}
- **Comparable cases**: {analogous situations and their outcomes}
- **Industry consensus view**: {what most industry observers believe}
- **Contrarian signal**: {what the data suggests that consensus might be missing}
- **Gaps**: {what we couldn't determine — important unknowns}

If market data is not findable (niche/private market): note this explicitly. Reduce confidence accordingly and use analogies from adjacent markets.


Bazaar Coordinator Execution Sequence

Follow the 8-step Agora deliberation protocol with these Bazaar-specific adaptations:

STEP 0: Parse Mode + Select Panel
  • State: "集市 assembled. Panel: {members}. Mode: {mode}."
STEP 1: Evidence Gathering

Execute mandatory WebSearch evidence tools. Compile Bazaar Evidence Brief.

Show full SKILL.md (422 more words)Show less
STEP 2: Problem Restate + AskUserQuestion #1

Each member restates through their strategic lens.

Before the AskUser, the Coordinator runs a silent decision-type check:

  • Is this a "should we do X" decision or a "how do we do X better" decision? (These need different analysis)
  • Is the user asking for analysis to inform a decision, or validation for a decision already made?
  • What is the actual decision this analysis needs to support? (Not just "understand the market" — what gets decided?)
  • Is there a deadline making this time-sensitive?

AskUser #1 — Bazaar's decision-context probes:

The Coordinator first presents the Evidence Brief summary (what the market research found), then asks:

"市场数据收集完了。在开始审议之前,帮我们理解决策背景——"

  1. "这个分析最终要支持什么决定?谁来做这个决定,什么时候?"

    • "我自己决定,本周" → Panel produces concrete recommendation, not framework
    • "需要说服董事会/投资人" → Panel structures output as argument, not just analysis
    • "团队内部有分歧,想要依据" → Panel explicitly maps both sides and arbitrates
    • "还没到决策阶段,想先探索" → Exploratory mode; broaden analysis, don't force conclusion
  2. "你最核心的约束是什么?"(三选一,强制优先排序)

    • "资金/资源" — 钱和人是限制因素 → Munger's opportunity cost + Taleb's margin of safety front and center
    • "时间窗口" — 市场时机是关键 → Sun Tzu's terrain + Schumpeter's timing focus
    • "风险承受度" — 不能赌错 → Taleb leads; antifragility > upside optimization
    • "以上都是,没有主次" → Ask again: "如果三个都重要,先保哪个?" — force ranking
  3. "你自己对这个问题最强的直觉是什么?即使你不确定它是对的。"

    • User states their lean → Panel challenges it directly (Munger: invert. Schumpeter: what destroys this?)
    • "我没有直觉,这就是我来的原因" → Panel derives independently; no anchoring needed
    • "我的直觉和数据冲突,想知道该信哪个" → Kahneman + Munger explicitly frame this tension
  4. 数据校准(在 Evidence Brief 基础上): "我们搜到的市场情况是 X。这与你掌握的内部信息一致吗?"

    • 一致 → Proceed
    • 不一致 → User corrects; Coordinator updates Evidence Brief before proceeding
STEP 3: Round 1 — Informed Independent Analysis

All members analyze from their strategic lens, grounded in the Evidence Brief AND the user's stated decision context, constraints, and intuition.

STEP 4: Adaptive Depth Gate + AskUserQuestion #2

For Bazaar:

  • Strategic decisions with major financial stakes often warrant --depth full
  • But don't create false complexity for straightforward decisions

AskUser #2 — Bazaar's strategy gut-check:

Present Round 1 summaries. Then ask ONE pointed question:

"六位战略家分析完了。问你一个问题——"

主动探针: "Schumpeter 和 Munger 给了相反的信号——哪个更符合你对这个市场的直觉?" (根据 Round 1 实际内容替换为最相关的张力对)

  • 用户选 Schumpeter(破坏/进攻)→ Round 2 tests why the moat analysis might be wrong
  • 用户选 Munger(护城河/防守)→ Round 2 tests what creative destruction risk is being underestimated
  • "两个都有道理,这就是我纠结的地方" → HIGH value in Round 2; genuine strategic tension

深度选择:

  1. "战略方向已经清楚,出结论" → Proceed to Verdict
  2. "有真正的战略张力,值得深挖" → Round 2
  3. "直接给我行动清单" → Skip to Action Items only
  4. "先给我三个财务场景" → Skip to Financial Scenarios section
STEP 5: Round 2 — Hegelian Cross-Examination

In Bazaar, the dialectic often runs between:

  • Thesis: "aggressive offense / disruption / attack"
  • Antithesis: "defensive positioning / moat-building / wait" Synthesis must transcend: not "be aggressive and defensive" but the specific positioning that is correct for this market at this moment.
