market-research-reports
Generate comprehensive market research reports (50+ pages) in the style of top consulting firms (McKinsey, BCG, Gartner). Features professional LaTeX formatting, extensive visual generation with scientific-schematics and generate-image, deep integration with research-lookup for data gathering, and multi-framework strategic analysis including Porter Five Forces, PESTLE, SWOT, TAM/SAM/SOM, and BCG Matrix.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
What it does
The skill generates professional-grade market research reports, designed to be 50+ pages, formatted in LaTeX with a market_research.sty style, and delivered as a PDF. It emphasizes visual content (6 essential visuals at the start, plus additional visuals as needed) and data-driven analysis across multiple frameworks (Porter Five Forces, PESTLE, SWOT, TAM/SAM/SOM, and BCG Matrix). The output includes executive summaries, a detailed core analysis broken into chapters (market overview, size and growth, industry drivers, competitive landscape, customer analysis, technology landscape, regulatory environment, risk analysis), strategic recommendations, implementation roadmap, and financial projections, with deep integration to research-lookup data sources. The skill provides concrete bash exemplars for generating visuals (scientific-schematics and generate-image) and instructs on using research-lookup for data gathering, including commands to fetch market size, competitors, trends, and regulations. It also defines a workflow with phases for research, analysis, and visual generation, recommending the creation of sources/ notes and data organization, followed by applying multiple analytical frameworks and producing visuals prior to writing.
How it works
- Start with a 50+ page report template and plan visuals: 6 essential visuals at the start, with more as needed.
- Use research-lookup to gather market data (e.g., current market size, TAM/SAM/SOM, competitors, trends, regulations) via specified Python scripts.
- Apply analysis frameworks: Market Sizing (TAM → SAM → SOM with clear assumptions), Porter's Five Forces, PESTLE, SWOT, Competitive Positioning, and Strategic Group Mapping.
- Generate visuals first using provided tools: generate_schematic.py for diagrams (e.g., TAM/SAM/SOM diagrams, Porter's Five Forces), and generate_image.py for executive infographics.
- Organize data in sources/ with citations and construct the LaTeX document, following the prescribed report structure (Front Matter, Core Analysis chapters, Strategic Recommendations, Back Matter).
- Produce outputs: LaTeX with the market_research.sty package, compiled to PDF, with professional typography and layout.
- Execute a phased workflow: Phase 1 research and data gathering, Phase 2 analysis and framework application, Phase 3 visual generation, then writing the report.
When to use it
Use when creating comprehensive market analyses for investment decisions, strategic planning, competitive landscape reviews, market sizing exercises, regulatory impact assessments, go-to-market documentation, due diligence for M&A, or thought leadership content.
What it can touch
- Visuals: uses scientific-schematics for diagrams and generate-image for executive infographics (scripts and commands are provided in the workflow).
- Data sources: integrates with research-lookup data sources to populate market size, growth, trends, competitors, and regulatory data.
- Output: LaTeX with market_research.sty, compiled to PDF.
Caveats
- Outputs rely on data gathered via research-lookup; accuracy depends on data sources and stated assumptions.
- Visuals are generated before writing; the quality and relevance depend on the inputs and timelines provided in the workflow.
- License: MIT; allows use and adaptation within the stated constraints.
# Market Research Reports ## Overview Market research reports are comprehensive strategic documents that analyze industries, markets, and competitive landscapes to inform business decisions, investment strategies, and strategic planning.

What does the market-research-reports skill do?
Generate comprehensive market research reports (50+ pages) in the style of top consulting firms (McKinsey, BCG, Gartner). Features professional LaTeX formatting, extensive visual generation with scientific-schematics and generate-image, deep integration with research-lookup for data gathering, and multi-framework strategic analysis including Porter Five Forces, PESTLE, SWOT, TAM/SAM/SOM, and BCG Matrix.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add LeonChaoX/qinyan-academic-skills --skill market-research-reports --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From LeonChaoX/qinyan-academic-skills, a repository with 759 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
