What This Skill Does
Spawns 3 parallel research agents (market, users, tech) to investigate an idea simultaneously. Each agent has a distinct focus and uses web search, GitHub, Reddit, and Hacker News. Results are synthesized into a research.md file with a GO/NO-GO/PIVOT recommendation.
Running three focused agents in parallel cuts research time compared to sequential single-agent research.
When to use it
- Researching a startup idea before building
- Competitive analysis for a new product feature
- Quickly mapping the technical landscape for an unfamiliar domain
- Gathering user sentiment from Reddit and HN on a problem space
- Pre-validation research before running /validate
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: swarm research AI meeting notes app
- 1Lead agent spawns Market Researcher, User Researcher, and Technical Analyst in parallel
- 2Market Researcher searches Product Hunt, G2, Capterra for competitors and pricing models
- 3User Researcher searches Reddit and Hacker News for pain points and user quotes
- 4Technical Analyst searches GitHub for open-source alternatives and assesses implementation complexity
- 5Lead agent synthesizes all findings and writes research.md with GO/NO-GO/PIVOT recommendation
docs/research.md containing competitive landscape, user pain points, technical feasibility assessment, and a recommended next step
