## What it does

The skill walks the agent through five steps: break a category into subcategories, validate demand, look for weak competition, assess profit, then size the market. Each step runs specific searches — Amazon autocomplete, Reddit and Facebook group threads, YouTube reviews, Google Trends via `web_fetch`.

Output is a set of 1-10 scores. Demand, competition and profit potential roll into one weighted total: demand 30%, competition 25%. Competition is scored in reverse — 9-10 means under 500 results and no dominant brands, 1-2 means a saturated market. Supported marketplaces: US, UK, DE, FR, IT, ES, JP, CA, AU, IN, MX, BR.

Those thresholds and weights are the author's heuristics, not a guarantee. If a niche scores well but the top listings sit under 4.0 stars, that is a reason to read the complaints before you order inventory.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Category Exploration & Mapping

Identify potential niche areas within broader categories:

1. **Category deep dive**: `"Amazon subcategories [main category]"` - map category structure
2. **Long-tail exploration**: `"[category] + specific use case"` - find specialized applications  
3. **Problem-based search**: `"[category] problems complaints reviews"` - identify pain points
4. **Demographic targeting**: `"[category] for [specific group]"` - underserved segments

**Niche Discovery Methods:**
- **Subcategory analysis**: Find less competitive subcategories within popular categories
- **Use case specialization**: Products designed for specific situations/users  
- **Geographic/cultural needs**: Region-specific or culturally-adapted products
- **Size/age/lifestyle segments**: Products for specific demographics
- **Quality tiers**: Premium or budget alternatives in established categories

### Step 2: Demand Validation

Verify there's real customer demand for identified niches:
