What it does
Consulting Analysis is an agent skill from HezaoHezao/poirot. Consulting-grade research reports: framework + final report.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Deep research and Market research. The repository describes itself as: Poirot is a deep research agent kernel built for those who care about how agents are architected. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Deep research
- Tasks that involve Market research
Example prompts
- “/consulting-analysis”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): web_search, browse_page, write_file, present_files
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 86bf279. 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:
web_searchbrowse_pagewrite_filepresent_files
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
Consulting Analysis loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 623 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Consulting Analysis
Overview
Produces professional, consulting-grade research reports in Markdown, covering market analysis, consumer insights, brand strategy, financial analysis, industry research, competitive intelligence, and investment due diligence.
Operates in two phases:
- Phase 1 — Analysis Framework: chapter skeleton, data requirements, visualization plan
- Phase 2 — Report Generation: synthesize collected data into final report
Output adheres to McKinsey/BCG consulting voice standards.
Data Authenticity Protocol
All data in the report MUST derive from provided Data Summary or External Search Findings. No hallucinations. If data is missing, state "Data not available" rather than fabricating numbers. Every major claim must be traceable to input data.
When to Use
- User asks for market analysis, consumer insight report, financial analysis, industry research, or any consulting-grade analytical report
- User provides a research subject and needs a structured framework
- User provides data summaries to synthesize into a report
Phase 1: Analysis Framework Generation
Step 1.1: Identify Domain & Dimensions
| Domain | Typical Dimensions |
|---|---|
| Market Analysis | Market size, growth, segmentation, drivers, competition |
| Brand Analysis | Positioning, share, perception, strategy |
| Consumer Insights | Demographics, behavior, decision journey, pain points |
| Financial Analysis | Macro, industry, fundamentals, metrics, valuation |
| Industry Research | Value chain, market size, competition, policy, tech |
| Investment DD | Business model, financials, management, opportunity, risk |
| Competitive Intel | Competitor ID, comparison, SWOT, positioning |
Step 1.2: Select Frameworks
Select 2-4 complementary frameworks per domain:
| Category | Frameworks |
|---|---|
| Strategic | SWOT, PESTEL, Porter's Five Forces, VRIO |
| Market & Growth | STP, BCG Matrix, Ansoff, TAM-SAM-SOM, PLC |
| Consumer | Decision Journey, AARRR, RFM, JTBD |
| Financial | DuPont, DCF, Comparable Company, EVA |
| Competitive | Benchmarking, Value Chain, Blue Ocean, Perceptual Mapping |
| Industry | Gartner Hype Cycle, GE-McKinsey Matrix |
Selection principles: domain-first, complementary not overlapping, depth over breadth, data-feasible, explicitly mapped to chapters.
Step 1.3: Chapter Skeleton
Each chapter must include:
- Chapter Title — professional, concise, subject-based
- Analysis Objective — what this chapter reveals
- Analysis Logic — framework or reasoning chain
- Core Hypothesis — to validate or refute
Step 1.4: Data Requirements Per Chapter
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Data Metric | Specific metric needed |
| Data Type | Quantitative / Qualitative / Mixed |
| Suggested Sources | Industry reports, gov stats, social media, etc. |
| Search Keywords | Queries for data collection |
| Priority | P0 (Required) / P1 (Important) / P2 (Supplementary) |
| Time Range | Period data should cover |
Step 1.5: Visualization Plan Per Chapter
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Chart Type | Line, bar, pie, scatter, radar, heatmap, table |
| Chart Title | Descriptive title |
| Data Mapping | Which metrics map to axes/segments |
| Argument Structure | "What → Why → So What" narrative outline |

Step 1.6: Output Framework
# [Research Subject] Analysis Framework
## Research Overview
- **Research Subject**: [...]
- **Scope**: [Geography, time range, segment]
- **Analysis Domain**: [Market / Finance / Industry / ...]
- **Core Research Questions**: [1-3 key questions]
## Framework Selection
| Chapter | Selected Framework(s) | Application |
|---------|----------------------|-------------|
## Chapter Skeleton
### 1. [Chapter Title]
- **Analysis Objective**: [...]
- **Analysis Logic**: [...]
- **Core Hypothesis**: [...]
#### Data Requirements
| # | Metric | Type | Sources | Keywords | Priority | Time |
#### Visualization & Content Plan
[Chart plan + table design + argument structure]
## Data Collection Task List
[Consolidated P0/P1 tasks for downstream data collection]Phase 2: Report Generation
After data collection (by deep-research or other skills), synthesize into
final report.
Step 2.1: Validate Inputs
Confirm Analysis Framework + Data Summary present. Flag missing P0 data.
Step 2.2: Write Report
For each sub-chapter, follow "Visual Anchor → Data Contrast → Integrated Analysis":
- Visual Evidence: comparison tables (charts if available)
- Data Contrast: Markdown table of key metrics
- Integrated Narrative: "What → Why → So What" (min 200 words)
Each insight must connect Data → User Psychology → Strategy Implication:
❌ Bad: "Females are 60%. Strategy: Target females."
✅ Good: "Females constitute 60% with high TGI. This suggests purchase is
driven by aesthetic validation. Consequently, media spend should pivot
to visual-heavy platforms."Step 2.3: Report Structure
# [Report Title]
## Abstract
[Executive summary with key takeaways]
## 1. Introduction
[Background, objectives, methodology]
## 2. [Body Chapter]
### 2.1 [Sub-chapter]
| Metric | Brand A | Brand B |
[Integrated narrative: What → Why → So What, min 200 words]
## N+1. Conclusion
[Pure objective synthesis, NO bullet points, neutral tone]
## N+2. References
[Formatted references]Formatting Standards
- Tone: McKinsey/BCG — authoritative, objective, professional
- Number formatting: English commas (
1,000not1，000) - Titling: standard numbering (
1.,1.1), no "Chapter/Part/Section" prefixes - Forbidden words: "Decoding", "DNA", "Secrets", "Unlocking"
- No horizontal rules (
---) - Conclusion: flowing prose, NO bullet points
Quality Checklist
Phase 1
- Framework covers all natural dimensions for the domain
- 2-4 complementary frameworks selected and mapped to chapters
- Each chapter has Objective, Logic, Hypothesis
- Data requirements specific with search keywords
- Every chapter has a visualization plan
- P0/P1/P2 priorities assigned
Phase 2
- NO HALLUCINATION: all numbers traceable to Data Summary
- All sections in order (Abstract → Intro → Body → Conclusion → References)
- Every sub-chapter follows "Visual Anchor → Data Contrast → Analysis"
- Every sub-chapter ends with min 200-word analytical paragraph
- Insights follow "Data → Psychology → Strategy" chain
- Conclusion is flowing prose, no bullets
- Missing P0 data explicitly flagged
