## What it does

The skill lays out a phased method. First you pick sources: trade press, analyst reports, financial platforms, company databases. Then data collection runs through browser automation, and only after that comes analysis and synthesis. Four sector frameworks ship with it — consumer, technology, healthcare and finance — each with its own metrics and source list.

Page work goes through Playwright MCP. The skill tells the agent to screenshot a page first and read the image with the Read tool, so the report only contains what is actually visible. Output lands in `outputs/<agent_name>/<customer_name>/`, split into `reports/`, `scripts/`, `raw/` and `screenshots/`. Reports follow a fixed template: summary, trends, market leaders, dynamics, recent developments, outlook, sources.

The catch is the browser layer. It depends on `mcp__playwright_*`, so without a Playwright MCP server wired up you get text-only analysis and no page scraping. Tools also list Read, Write and Bash, which means the skill writes files and runs code locally.

The frontmatter sets `max_turns: 5` and `max_budget: 0.10`, and the model is inherited from the session. Worth knowing before a long run: five turns cover an overview, not a sweep through a dozen sources with verification.

## Requirements
- Works with: Playwright

```bash
npx skills add rkreddyp/investrecipes --skill industry-research -a claude-code
```
```bash
npx skills add rkreddyp/investrecipes --skill industry_research -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/industry_research/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/industry_research/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rkreddyp/investrecipes --skill industry_research -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/industry_research/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rkreddyp/investrecipes --skill industry_research -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/industry_research/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install rkreddyp/investrecipes industry_research
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/industry_research/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rkreddyp/investrecipes --skill industry_research -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/rkreddyp/investrecipes --path .claude/skills/industry_research
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/industry_research/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add rkreddyp/investrecipes --skill industry_research -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/rkreddyp/investrecipes/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/industry_research/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- map sector trends and separate them from one-off news
- list the key players and where each one sits
- pull market metrics from several sources into one report
- verify figures against page screenshots instead of model recall
- draft a sector outlook with source attribution

## Example prompts
- Research the consumer sector: trends, leaders, market dynamics for the latest period.
- Build a fintech report using the skill template and save sources under `raw/`.
- Scrape the analyst pages with Playwright and pull the market metrics into the report.
