Compress a month of market research into ~3 hours, evidence first. Use before positioning, pricing, GTM, or betting on a new idea — harvests competitor sites, incumbent filings, reviews, and complaint threads into a local corpus, then interrogates it with every claim cited to a source file or flagged as speculation.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# market-xray — read the market before forming opinions about it

## Overview

The Strategy Lane's evidence engine. Instead of answering market questions from
model priors, this skill collects the market's real artifacts FIRST — competitor
pages, SEC filings, 100+ customer reviews, complaint threads — into a local,
provenance-stamped corpus, and only then asks the strategy questions. Output is
trustworthy because of one mechanical rule:

> **Every market claim cites a harvested corpus file (`[src: <file>]`) or lives
> under a visible `## ⚠ SPECULATION` heading.** The gate:
> `bun run xray-harvest --check-citations <synthesis.md> --corpus <corpus-dir>`
> (≥90% cited, zero broken refs, or it exits 1 naming the offending lines).

**When NOT to use:** a quick fact lookup (`/brain-ask`), a market whose corpus you
refreshed within ~90 days (query it instead), or anything requiring logins,
paywalls, or scraping the harvester's boundaries forbid.

## The five stages

### 1 · Frame (60 seconds, operator gate #1)

From the idea or `products/<slug>/`, draft: target customer in one sentence, the
words that market uses, 3–5 seed queries. **Show the operator; they confirm or

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hamza-ali-shahjahan/hamzaish/market-xray@sha256:6c817143e64a998f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.f995fd2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
