Research Workflow

This skill helps you generate comprehensive user demand research reports. Follow this workflow:

Step 1: Define Scope

Before collecting data, clarify with the user:

Research Goal: What domain/area to investigate? (e.g., AI coding assistants, project management tools)
Specific Products: Any products/competitors to focus on? (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot)
Platform Preference: Which platforms to prioritize? (reddit, x, github)
Time Range: How recent should the feedback be?
Report Purpose: Product planning / competitive analysis / market research?

Step 2: Collect Data

# 1. Trigger realtime scrape for the topic
python3 scripts/scrape_topic.py "ai-coding-assistant" --platforms reddit,x,github

# 2. Search with expansion for more data
python3 scripts/search_requests.py "code completion" --expand --limit 50

# 3. List requests filtered by topic
python3 scripts/list_requests.py --topic "ai-tools" --limit 100

Step 3: Generate Report

Analyze collected data and generate a structured Markdown report:
