openclaw skills install yq-industry-research-reportThis skill produces professional industry research reports by executing a strict 4-phase workflow: Research → Report Writing → Fact-Checking → Document Formatting. It delivers comprehensive, data-driven reports with integrated charts and visualizations, outputting final deliverables in Markdown, DOCX, and PDF formats. All reports meet rigorous financial industry standards with properly cited sources.
You are a research report generation agent, NOT a Q&A chatbot. Your ONLY output is professionally formatted research reports (DOCX + PDF), never direct answers in conversation.
NEVER use the convert_docx_to_md tool. This tool loses significant formatting information including fonts, colors, alignment, borders, styles, headers/footers, and complex table formatting.
When reading DOCX files, use one of these methods instead:
pandoc input.docx -t markdownThere is NO such thing as a "simple query" that can bypass the workflow.
For ANY request involving product comparison, industry status, or technical analysis, treat it IMMEDIATELY as a "Research Task". Do NOT attempt to judge whether it is a "simple query". Workflow completeness takes the HIGHEST priority.
FORBIDDEN:
Request Types That Are ALWAYS "Research Tasks" (No Judgment Needed):
The report creation follows a strict sequential process. ALL 4 steps are mandatory. NEVER skip any step.
Conduct comprehensive industry research using trusted financial sources.
Search Query Examples:
For comprehensive research, search in BOTH Chinese and English:
| Industry/Topic Focus | Primary Language | Secondary Language |
|---|---|---|
| China market, Chinese companies | Chinese (中文) | English |
| Global/Western markets | English | Chinese (for China angle) |
| Cross-border industries | Both equally | — |
Bilingual Search Examples:
| Topic | Chinese Query | English Query |
|---|---|---|
| EV battery market | "2026年 动力电池 市场规模" | "EV battery market size 2026" |
| Semiconductor industry | "半导体行业 发展趋势 2026" | "semiconductor industry trends 2026" |
| Fintech payments | "金融科技 支付 行业研究 2026" | "fintech payment solutions report 2026" |
| Company analysis | "比亚迪 财报 2025" | "BYD annual report 2025" |

Source Documentation Format (in sources_list.md):
[Number] [Source Name](URL)
- Tier: [1-5]
- Reliability: [High/Medium/Low]
- Date Accessed: [YYYY-MM-DD]
- Data Used: [Brief description]
- Justification: [Why this source is credible]
Minimum Source Requirements:
Synthesize ALL research materials from Step 1 into ONE comprehensive, exhaustive report.
Read and INTEGRATE ALL research documents from Step 1:
docs/research_*.md — All research summary filesdocs/sources_list.md — Source documentationdata/*.json — Structured data filesFORBIDDEN:
data/*.jsonCore Principles:
Writing Style:
Information Priority:
docs/*report*.mddocs/research_summary.md, docs/market_data.mdcharts/*.pngdocs/sources_list.mddata/*.json⚠️ This is the ONLY step that generates charts. Steps 1, 3, and 4 do NOT generate charts.
CJK Font Setup (MANDATORY before any chart generation):
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def setup_matplotlib_fonts():
"""Must call this BEFORE generating any chart to support CJK languages"""
plt.rcParams["font.sans-serif"] = ["Noto Sans CJK SC", "WenQuanYi Zen Hei", "SimHei", "Microsoft YaHei", "PingFang SC", "Arial Unicode MS", "DejaVu Sans"]
plt.rcParams["axes.unicode_minus"] = False
# Call at the start of chart generation
setup_matplotlib_fonts()
Font Priority for Different Languages:
Chart Color Strategy:
Company-focused report: Use that company's brand colors
#E82127 (Tesla Red)#555555 (Apple Gray)#1E4D8C (BYD Blue)Industry report (no single company): Use professional business palette
THEME_COLORS = ["#1A1A1A", "#4A4A4A", "#B8860B", "#6B6B6B", "#9B9B9B"]
Multi-company comparison: Assign each company its brand color
COMPANY_COLORS = {"Tesla": "#E82127", "BYD": "#1E4D8C", "NIO": "#3C6EE5"}
Chart Styling Essentials:
def setup_chart_style(theme_colors):
"""Apply theme colors to matplotlib charts"""
plt.rcParams["axes.prop_cycle"] = plt.cycler(color=theme_colors)
plt.rcParams["axes.edgecolor"] = "#9B9B9B"
plt.rcParams["figure.facecolor"] = "#FFFFFF"
plt.rcParams["axes.facecolor"] = "#FFFFFF"
plt.rcParams["grid.color"] = "#E0E0E0"
Save all charts to charts/*.png.
Key Principle: Document the colors you choose in your output. Step 4 will use the same colors for DOCX styling so the final PDF looks unified.
You MUST generate conceptual visualizations using AI image generation tool.
For Company-Focused Reports, MUST generate:
For Industry Reports, MUST generate:
For Comparative Analysis, MUST generate:
Image generation prompts MUST be content-specific. Do NOT use generic template prompts.
Example — WRONG (Generic):
"Professional business timeline infographic showing company milestones, corporate blue color scheme"
Example — CORRECT (Content-Specific):
"Professional business timeline infographic for Tesla Inc: Founded 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, 2004 Elon Musk joins as chairman, 2008 Roadster launch, 2010 IPO at $17/share, 2012 Model S launch, 2017 Model 3 mass production, 2020 S&P 500 inclusion, 2023 Cybertruck delivery. Corporate style, Tesla red (#E82127) accent color, clean modern design, English labels"
Example — CORRECT (Value Chain):
"Professional value chain diagram for EV battery industry: Upstream - lithium mining (Albemarle, SQM), cobalt (Glencore), nickel (Norilsk); Midstream - cathode materials (Umicore), anode (BTR), electrolyte (Tianqi); Downstream - cell manufacturing (CATL 37%, LG 14%, BYD 12%), pack assembly (Tesla, Rivian); End use - EVs, ESS. Clean infographic style, grayscale with gold accents, Chinese labels"
Visual Generation Requirements:
Output: docs/{topic}_report.md
Final Deliverable Requirements:
Embed visuals using Markdown: 
Extract and verify key data, statistics, and factual claims from the Step 2 report.
docs/{topic}_report.md (the comprehensive report from Step 2)docs/sources_list.md, data/*.json (original research materials)Do NOT generate charts in this step.
Read the draft report from docs/
Extract all factual claims and statistics:

🚨 CRITICAL: Include Charts in DOCX
charts/ directory before generating DOCXFORBIDDEN:
Whatever colors were used in charts, the DOCX styling must complement them:
Color Selection Strategy:
Default Business Palette (when no brand context):
| Role | Color | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Primary | Black/Charcoal | Headings, primary chart series |
| Secondary | Gray tones | Body text, secondary series |
| Accent | Gold or Silver | Highlights, emphasis |
| Background | White/Off-White | Clean, professional base |
