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
bash
# 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:
markdown
# [Topic] User Demand Research Report ## Overview - Scope: ... - Data Sources: Reddit (X), X (Y), GitHub (Z) - Time Range: ... ## Key Findings ### 1. Top Feature Requests | Rank | Request | Sources | Representative Quote | |------|---------|---------|---------------------| ### 2. Pain Points Analysis - **Pain Point A**: ... ### 3. Competitive Comparison (if specified) | Feature | Product A | Product B | User Expectations | ### 4. Opportunities - ... ## Methodology Based on N real user feedbacks collected via RequestHunt...
