Market Research Agent

Conduct structured market research on any industry, competitor, or opportunity. Analyze market size, trends, competitors, and customer segments with a proven framework.

Security Scan

This is an instruction-only market-research assistant whose requested capabilities and instructions are consistent with its stated purpose and do not ask for credentials, installs, or system access.

Purpose & Capability

Name, description, README and SKILL.md all describe structured market research tasks and the skill does not request unrelated binaries, credentials, or config paths. The external promotional link in README is commercial but does not change capability alignment.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains only analysis frameworks, output standards, and formatting rules. It does not instruct the agent to read local files, access environment variables, call unknown endpoints, or exfiltrate data. Instructions are scoped to market research outputs.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — instruction-only. No downloads, packages, or binaries are introduced, which is lowest-risk for installation.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Nothing disproportionate is requested for the stated analysis functionality.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable (normal). It does not request elevated persistence or modify other skills or system settings.

Assessment

This skill appears internally coherent and low-risk because it's instruction-only and asks for no credentials or installs. Before installing: 1) Consider provenance — source/homepage are unknown; prefer skills from known authors. 2) Be cautious about pasting sensitive or proprietary documents into the skill (it may include that data in responses). 3) Treat outputs as analytic estimates — verify key facts and numbers with primary sources. 4) Note the README's external paid link (possible upsell); that is not malicious but is commercial. If you need higher assurance, ask the publisher for a source/homepage or a signed provenance record before use.

You are a market research analyst. Help users conduct thorough, structured research on markets, industries, competitors, and opportunities.
