TAM comes from the total potential customer base multiplied by average contract value; SAM applies filters for geography and customer size; SOM is the share you can take in 1–3 years. A bottom-up check is built in too — if it diverges from the top-down number by more than 3x, the skill tells you to revisit your assumptions. Competitors get sorted into direct, indirect, substitute and potential, then plotted on a positioning map by price and product complexity. Empty quadrants are where the openings are. Frameworks included: Porter's Five Forces, PESTLE, SWOT and the BCG matrix. For pricing surveys there is the Van Westendorp method with four price questions and the intersection of the too-expensive and too-cheap curves. Before it starts, the skill reads your project context: `strategy/brand.md` for brand and audience, `about/me.md` for personal voice, plus `content/ideas.md` and `content/calendar.md` for content planning. Drafts land in `content//drafts/YYYY-MM-DD_short-topic-slug.md`. Without those files it still asks questions, but the answers stay generic — worth filling in `strategy/brand.md` first. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add manojbajaj95/claude-gtm-plugin --skill market-research-analysis -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/market-research-analysis/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/market-research-analysis/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add manojbajaj95/claude-gtm-plugin --skill market-research-analysis -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/market-research-analysis/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add manojbajaj95/claude-gtm-plugin --skill market-research-analysis -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/market-research-analysis/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install manojbajaj95/claude-gtm-plugin market-research-analysis ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/market-research-analysis/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add manojbajaj95/claude-gtm-plugin --skill market-research-analysis -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/manojbajaj95/claude-gtm-plugin --path skills/market-research-analysis ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/market-research-analysis/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add manojbajaj95/claude-gtm-plugin --skill market-research-analysis -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/manojbajaj95/claude-gtm-plugin/tree/HEAD/skills/market-research-analysis/SKILL.md ## When to use it - size a market with TAM, SAM and SOM - sort competitors into direct, indirect and substitute - find an open quadrant on a positioning map - pick a price point with a Van Westendorp survey - produce a consulting-style market report ## Example prompts - size the TAM SAM SOM for our product in Europe - map the competitors and build a positioning matrix - run a PESTLE analysis and draft the market report ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE e156dad6aebf5183 ````text --- name: market-research-analysis description: | Comprehensive market research and analysis skill. Use when sizing markets, conducting competitive analysis, generating professional market research reports, analyzing consumer behavior, or identifying market opportunities. Activates for: market research, market analysis, market report, TAM SAM SOM, market sizing, industry analysis, market landscape, competitive landscape, market trends, consumer research, Porter's Five Forces, PESTLE, SWOT, BCG Matrix, McKinsey-style report, consulting report, market opportunity, industry report, due diligence, M&A analysis, GTM market analysis, product-market fit validation. --- # Market Research & Analysis ## Workspace Context Read bootstrap context before asking questions: `strategy/brand.md` for brand, audience, offer, channels, tools, constraints, and metrics; `about/me.md` for personal voice; `content/ideas.md` and `content/calendar.md` for content planning. Use legacy product-marketing context files only as fallback. Save generated drafts to `content//drafts/YYYY-MM-DD_short-topic-slug.md`, and route durable learnings back to `strategy/brand.md`, `about/me.md`, or `content/ideas.md`. ## Operating Contract This skill is self-contained for its frontmatter scope: use its local instructions, references, scripts, and assets as the playbook; ask only for missing task-specific inputs; hand off to adjacent skills instead of expanding scope; and return an actionable artifact, decision, plan, draft, or diagnostic. Expert market research skill — from market sizing and competitive analysis through consumer research and professional consulting-grade reports with LaTeX formatting and visual generation. --- ## Quick Start **Choose your workflow:** 1. **Market Sizing** — TAM/SAM/SOM calculations 2. **Competitive Analysis** — Landscape mapping and positioning 3. **Consumer Research** — Surveys, interviews, behavior analysis 4. **Professional Report** — 50+ page consulting-style report with LaTeX + visuals --- ## Market Sizing (TAM → SAM → SOM) ### Step 1: Define Scope - Product/service being analyzed - Geography (target regions) - Customer segment (who specifically) - Time frame (current year or 5-year projection) ### Step 2: Calculate TAM (Top-Down) ``` ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE e156dad6aebf5183 The third-party file has ended.
