market-research-analyst — Claude Code subagent: market analysis
A Claude subagent that gathers market and competitor data through web search and returns it as a structured research report.
npx claude-code-templates@latest --agent podcast-creator-team/market-research-analystWhat market-research-analyst does
This subagent takes the role of a market research analyst. It runs a fixed sequence: market definition, size and growth, key players, trends, opportunities and threats. The data comes from web search and public sources rather than from the model's memory.
The prompt inside spells out the method. Collect findings first, then cross-check them against multiple sources. It also asks the agent to separate verified facts from industry estimates and analytical conclusions, and to flag gaps in the data instead of filling them in. Its tools are Read, Write, Edit and WebSearch, so with search disabled it will not get far.
There is a collaboration protocol too: share preliminary findings with peer analysts, pull in specialised expertise for technical domains, and merge different perspectives into one conclusion. If you need a market brief by tomorrow morning, that is a reason to check that web search is actually on.
What it helps with
- build a market overview with size and segments
- profile key players and their positioning
- track trends and regulatory shifts in an industry
- compare competitor pricing and distribution channels
- merge findings from several sources and mark the gaps
Example prompts for the agent
- Build a market overview for online education: size, growth, main players
- Profile the five biggest competitors and compare their subscription models
- Find logistics trends over the last two years and flag where data is missing
