## What it does

The plugin introduces specialized research and investigation subagents into Claude Code. Each subagent handles a distinct analytical task: `ab-test-analysis` calculates statistical significance while checking for peeking and Simpson's Paradox, `cohort-analysis` tracks user retention curves, and `project-idea-validator` stress-tests product concepts against market friction.

Other subagents cover strategic and market investigations. `first-principles-thinking` dissects problems using a 5-step framework. Meanwhile, `competitive-analyst` conducts SWOT analysis, `market-researcher` sizes market segments, and `trend-analyst` spots weak signals. For deeper inquiries, `research-analyst` drafts structured investigation reports.

Note the integration requirement for scientific queries: `scientific-literature-researcher` relies on BGPT MCP to query its database of experimental papers.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install voltagent-research@voltagent-subagents
```

## When to use it
- evaluate A/B test results and decide whether to ship
- track cohort retention curves to spot activation moments
- stress-test a product idea against market friction before building
- search experimental data in scientific studies via BGPT MCP
- analyze competitors using structured SWOT benchmarks

## Example prompts
- Analyze our A/B test data in `experiment_results.csv` and give a ship or no-ship decision.
- Run `project-idea-validator` on my product concept to find hidden competitors and friction.
- Use `scientific-literature-researcher` to find sample sizes and published methods for this trial.

# Research & Analysis Subagents

Research & Analysis subagents are your investigative powerhouses, specializing in finding, analyzing, and synthesizing information from diverse sources. These experts excel at deep research, competitive intelligence, market analysis, and trend identification. They transform raw information into actionable insights, helping you make informed decisions based on comprehensive analysis and data-driven research.

## When to Use Research & Analysis Subagents

Use these subagents when you need to:
- **Conduct comprehensive research** on any topic
- **Find specific information** across multiple sources
- **Analyze market dynamics** and opportunities
- **Track competitive intelligence** systematically
- **Identify emerging trends** before others
- **Gather and analyze data** for insights
- **Synthesize complex information** into clear findings
- **Make data-driven decisions** with confidence

## Available Subagents

### [**ab-test-analysis**](ab-test-analysis.md) - A/B test analysis and ship/no-ship decision specialist
Statistical analysis expert interpreting A/B test results, p-values, confidence intervals, and effect sizes. Makes principled ship/no-ship decisions using a structured framework and catches common analysis errors like peeking, multiple comparisons, and Simpson's Paradox.

**Use when:** Analyzing A/B or experiment results, interpreting p-values, making ship or no-ship decisions, evaluating statistical vs. practical significance, or validating test integrity.

### [**cohort-analysis**](cohort-analysis.md) - User cohort retention and behavioral analysis specialist
Retention analysis expert understanding how user groups behave over time. Diagnoses retention curve shapes, identifies activation metrics (the "Aha Moment"), and tracks whether product improvements are actually moving retention numbers.

**Use when:** Analyzing user retention, diagnosing where the retention curve drops, finding activation behaviors, comparing cohort performance over time, or assessing product-market fit signals.

### [**first-principles-thinking**](first-principles-thinking.md) - First principles problem-solving specialist
Strategic thinking specialist breaking complex problems down to irreducible truths and rebuilding solutions from scratch. Applies the 5-step first principles method and 5D structured problem-solving framework to cut through assumptions.

**Use when:** Challenging why things are done a certain way, rethinking a product or process from scratch, solving a recurring problem that conventional approaches haven't fixed, or pressure-testing assumptions before committing to a solution.

### [**research-analyst**](research-analyst.md) - Comprehensive research specialist
Research expert conducting thorough investigations across domains. Masters research methodologies, source validation, and insight synthesis. Delivers comprehensive research reports on any topic.

**Use when:** Conducting deep research, investigating complex topics, validating information, creating research reports, or synthesizing multiple sources.

### [**search-specialist**](search-specialist.md) - Advanced information retrieval expert
Search optimization expert finding needles in information haystacks. Masters advanced search techniques, query optimization, and source discovery. Locates hard-to-find information efficiently.

**Use when:** Finding specific information, optimizing search queries, discovering new sources, conducting systematic searches, or retrieving obscure data.

### [**trend-analyst**](trend-analyst.md) - Emerging trends and forecasting expert
Trend identification specialist spotting patterns before they become obvious. Expert in trend analysis, future forecasting, and weak signal detection. Helps organizations stay ahead of change.

**Use when:** Identifying emerging trends, forecasting future developments, analyzing pattern changes, monitoring industry evolution, or planning strategic responses.

### [**competitive-analyst**](competitive-analyst.md) - Competitive intelligence specialist
