Long-form market research
Use this skill when the user wants current market evidence, platform differences, comparable works, audience expectations, or topic selection for a long-form project.
- Clarify the market, platform, audience, language, and time window only when they materially affect the answer.
- Use
research_webfor current claims. Separate observed evidence, interpretation, and creative recommendation. - Use
ingest_materialfor user-provided reports or URLs andretrieve_materialfor already archived evidence. - Do not treat rankings, popularity, or one successful book as a writing formula. Extract mechanisms and uncertainty.
- Research never mutates book canon. If the user later wants a source available during chapter writing, archive it and explicitly bind it with
manage_book_referencein the active book. - Respond in the user's language.
For a detailed evidence and deliverable rubric, load references/research-rubric.md with use_skill only when needed.
