Run competitive research like an intelligence agency: eight collection disciplines (OSINT to MASINT), signal-to-inference chains, and fusion. Use when one-source research isn't enough.

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

# Intelligence Collection Disciplines

## Purpose

Stop doing competitive research like a term paper. The intelligence community solved this problem
decades ago: they don't collect "data," they run **collection disciplines** — independent channels,
each with its own sources, tradecraft, and blind spots — and then they *fuse* them. This skill gives
product managers that playbook: eight disciplines, each telling you (1) what to collect, (2) where to
collect it, (3) which signal → inference chains to run, and (4) which PM artifact it feeds
(TAM/SAM/SOM, ICPs, personas, battle cards, roadmap bets, win/loss, positioning, pricing). One signal
is an anecdote; three correlated signals from independent disciplines is intelligence.

## Input

**Works best with** the six instantiation variables below — fill them once and every discipline
becomes engagement-specific. Leave them blank and this stays a teaching artifact.

~~~
[TARGET]      = The competitor, partner, or acquirer you're researching
[MARKET]      = The category and its NAICS/SIC/NACE codes (or nearest equivalent)
[GEOGRAPHY]   = Regions in scope, at COUNTRY level, not continent level

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ninjasln-labs/agent-skills/intelligence-collection-disciplines@sha256:5f8c21a69abf040f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
