## What it 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.
