Product Demand Research

Overview

Use public social data to understand whether people actually complain about, ask for, buy, hack around, or recommend solutions in a product category. The output should help founders and marketers decide what to build, position, or test.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

validate a startup or product idea
find pain points in a niche
mine Reddit/TikTok/YouTube comments for product ideas
find buyer language and objections
understand alternatives people use today
create messaging from demand evidence

Signals to Extract

repeated complaints
"I wish" / "is there a tool" / "how do I" phrases
workarounds and spreadsheets/manual processes
comparison and alternative mentions
buying intent
objections to existing solutions
exact words people use for the problem

Workflow

Turn the idea into search queries and synonyms.
Search Reddit and relevant social platforms.
Pull comments/transcripts for promising posts/videos.
Cluster pains, triggers, alternatives, and desired outcomes.
Score demand by frequency, intensity, recency, and willingness-to-pay hints.
Produce messaging and product implications.

Output Format

# Product Demand Research: {idea/category}

## Verdict
- Demand signal: Strong/Medium/Weak
- Confidence: High/Medium/Low
- Why:

## Pain Points
| Pain | Evidence | Exact language | Source |
|---|---|---|---|

## Existing Alternatives / Workarounds
- ...

## Objections and Barriers
- ...

## Messaging Angles
- "..."

## Product Ideas / Tests
1. ...
2. ...

Common Pitfalls

Do not claim market validation from a handful of comments.
Do not ignore negative evidence or existing alternatives.
Do not paraphrase away the best customer language.

Review the source

Skill source recorded

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
Financial research output is not financial advice; require human review before any live investment decision
The SKILL.md excerpt appears truncated (ends at '## Wo'), but the parsed metadata suggests a complete description.

Open full audit

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.

Source & trust

Repository metadata and review signals are advisory. Popularity, source discovery and successful execution are different facts.
