# Proprietary Data Generator Create original surveys, benchmarks, and aggregated data that nobody else has. Proprietary data is the ultimate content moat — competitors can copy your writing style but they can't copy YOUR data. Automates the design and execution framework for data collection that feeds unique content angles. ## Stage S7: Automation & Scale — Generating data at scale requires automation. This skill designs the collection system, not just one data point. Creates repeatable data assets that compound over time. ## When to Use - User wants to create content that can't be replicated by competitors - User asks about "original research", "surveys", "benchmarks", "proprietary data" - User says "data moat", "unique data", "first-party data", "original statistics" - After `content-moat-calculator` identifies the need for differentiated content - User wants to build authority through data-driven content - User wants to create linkable assets that earn backlinks naturally ## Input Schema ```yaml niche: string # REQUIRED — topic area for data collection # e.g., "AI video tools", "affiliate marketing" data_type: string # OPTIONAL — "survey" | "benchmark" | "aggregation" | "case_st

Where does this skill come from?

From Affitor/affiliate-skills, a repository with 586 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.
