Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Manages the founder's market understanding — running initial market research, updating findings, and answering questions about market size, customer segments, buying behavior, pricing benchmarks, and industry trends. Use when the conversation touches market size (TAM/SAM/SOM), who the buyers are and how they make decisions, what people typically pay, industry tailwinds or headwinds, or when the founder wants to understand the broader landscape their idea sits in.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'market-research' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'market-research' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named market-research already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/davepoon/buildwithclaude' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '941b335e8e2d748d9855f77c0fc0aaec924b75b9' -- 'plugins/startup-superpowers/skills/market-research' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/startup-superpowers/skills/market-research' ~/.agents/skills/'market-research' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'market-research' ~/.claude/skills/'market-research' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
