Create an agent team to research “$ARGUMENTS” from multiple perspectives in parallel.

Team Structure

Spawn 3 teammates, each with a distinct research focus:

1. Market Researcher

Focus: competitors, market size, pricing models, business models.

• Search for direct and indirect competitors
• Find market reports with TAM/SAM/SOM figures
• Analyze pricing strategies and monetization
• Identify market gaps and opportunities
• Check Product Hunt, G2, Capterra for existing products

2. User Researcher

Focus: pain points, user sentiment, feature requests.

• Search Reddit (via SearXNG engines: reddit, MCP web_search, or WebSearch site:reddit.com)
• Search Hacker News for tech community opinions (site:news.ycombinator.com)
• Find app reviews and ratings
• Extract direct user quotes about frustrations
• Identify unmet needs and feature requests

3. Technical Analyst

Focus: feasibility, tech stack, existing solutions, implementation complexity.

• Search GitHub for open-source alternatives (site:github.com <query>)
• Evaluate tech stack options
• If MCP project_info available: check existing projects for reusable code
• If MCP codegraph_query available: find shared packages across projects
• Assess implementation complexity and timeline

Search Backends

Teammates should use both:

• MCP web_search (if available) — wraps SearXNG with engine routing
• WebSearch (built-in) — broad discovery, market reports
• WebFetch — scrape specific URLs for details

Domain filtering: use site:github.com, site:reddit.com etc. for strict filtering.

Check SearXNG availability if not using MCP:

curl -sf http://localhost:8013/health && echo "searxng_ok" || echo "searxng_down"

Coordination

• Each teammate writes findings to a shared task list
• Require plan approval before teammates start deep research
• After all complete, synthesize findings into research.md
• Use the research.md format from /research skill

Output

After team completes, the lead should:

1. Synthesize findings from all 3 teammates
2. Write research.md to 3-opportunities/<project-name>/ (solopreneur KB) or docs/ (any project)
3. Provide GO / NO-GO / PIVOT recommendation
4. Suggest next step: /validate <idea>
