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:
