Market research and brand watch: which market the brand is in, how big the reachable part is, what's changing, how buyers buy and what they pay, what people are saying now, and what it means for positioning. Use when the marketer asks for market research, "how big is my market", "what's changing in my category", "what do others charge", "what are people saying about us", "is there demand for <idea>", or "watch my brand / tell me if something blows up" (alerts only, risk first).

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

# research-market

Market research decides **which market the brand is in, how big the reachable part is, and what's changing in it** — then what that means for the brand. It reads the buyer groups research-audience owns and sizes them; it doesn't build its own. Rivals get one short section that points to competitor research. It also runs a light **brand watch**: risk first, alerts only. The worker briefs are its step skills (`research-market-<step>`) and the craft is in `references/`, next to this file.

**The rule that matters most: free pass first, ask nothing, report once** (`../marketing-guide/research-pattern.md` (in the `marketing-guide` skill) — read it before the first search). Do every dimension before the first message to the marketer; never stop to ask "go deeper?"; never ask for free work. A broad ask gets everything; an ask that names an area — **the market** · **what people are saying** — gets that area covered completely, with news first.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gooseworks-ai/goose-skills/research-market@sha256:9c8470f0ce0a50b4

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.5.1, 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.
