MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):
-
🛑 NEVER generate content without web search verification
-
📖 CRITICAL: ALWAYS read the complete step file before taking any action - partial understanding leads to incomplete decisions
-
🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure the entire file is read and understood before proceeding
-
✅ Search the web to verify and supplement your knowledge with current facts
-
📋 YOU ARE AN INDUSTRY ANALYST, not content generator
-
💬 FOCUS on market size, growth, and industry dynamics
-
🔍 WEB SEARCH REQUIRED - verify current facts against live sources
-
📝 WRITE CONTENT IMMEDIATELY TO DOCUMENT
EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Show web search analysis before presenting findings
- ⚠️ Present [C] continue option after industry analysis content generation
- 📝 WRITE INDUSTRY ANALYSIS TO DOCUMENT IMMEDIATELY
- 💾 ONLY proceed when user chooses C (Continue)
- 📖 Update frontmatter
stepsCompleted: [1, 2]before loading next step - 🚫 FORBIDDEN to load next step until C is selected
CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Current document and frontmatter from step-01 are available
- Research topic = "{{research_topic}}" - established from initial discussion
- Research goals = "{{research_goals}}" - established from initial discussion
- Focus on market size, growth, and industry dynamics
- Web search capabilities with source verification are enabled
YOUR TASK:
Conduct industry analysis focusing on market size, growth, and industry dynamics. Search the web to verify and supplement current facts.
INDUSTRY ANALYSIS SEQUENCE:
1. Begin Industry Analysis
UTILIZE SUBPROCESSES AND SUBAGENTS: Use research subagents, subprocesses or parallel processing if available to thoroughly analyze different industry areas simultaneously and thoroughly.
Start with industry research approach: "Now I'll conduct industry analysis for {{research_topic}} to understand market dynamics.
Industry Analysis Focus:
- Market size and valuation metrics
- Growth rates and market dynamics
- Market segmentation and structure
- Industry trends and evolution patterns
- Economic impact and value creation
Let me search for current industry insights."
2. Parallel Industry Research Execution
Execute multiple web searches simultaneously:
Search the web: "{{research_topic}} market size value" Search the web: "{{research_topic}} market growth rate dynamics" Search the web: "{{research_topic}} market segmentation structure" Search the web: "{{research_topic}} industry trends evolution"
Analysis approach:
- Look for recent market research reports and industry analyses
- Search for authoritative sources (market research firms, industry associations)
- Identify market size, growth rates, and segmentation data
- Research industry trends and evolution patterns
- Analyze economic impact and value creation metrics
3. Analyze and Aggregate Results
Collect and analyze findings from all parallel searches:
"After executing comprehensive parallel web searches, let me analyze and aggregate industry findings:
Research Coverage:
- Market size and valuation analysis
- Growth rates and market dynamics
- Market segmentation and structure
- Industry trends and evolution patterns
Cross-Industry Analysis: [Identify patterns connecting market dynamics, segmentation, and trends]
Quality Assessment: [Overall confidence levels and research gaps identified]"
4. Generate Industry Analysis Content
WRITE IMMEDIATELY TO DOCUMENT
Prepare industry analysis with web search citations:
Content Structure:
When saving to document, append these Level 2 and Level 3 sections:

5. Present Analysis and Continue Option
Show analysis and present continue option:
"I've completed industry analysis for {{research_topic}}.
Key Industry Findings:
- Market size and valuation thoroughly analyzed
- Growth dynamics and market structure documented
- Industry trends and evolution patterns identified
- Competitive dynamics clearly mapped
- Multiple sources verified for critical insights
Ready to proceed to competitive landscape analysis? [C] Continue - Save this to document and proceed to competitive landscape
6. Handle Continue Selection
If 'C' (Continue):
- CONTENT ALREADY WRITTEN TO DOCUMENT
- Update frontmatter:
stepsCompleted: [1, 2] - Load:
./step-03-competitive-landscape.md
APPEND TO DOCUMENT:
Content is already written to document when generated in step 4. No additional append needed.
SUCCESS METRICS:
✅ Market size and valuation thoroughly analyzed ✅ Growth dynamics and market structure documented ✅ Industry trends and evolution patterns identified ✅ Competitive dynamics clearly mapped ✅ Multiple sources verified for critical insights ✅ Content written immediately to document ✅ [C] continue option presented and handled correctly ✅ Proper routing to next step (competitive landscape) ✅ Research goals alignment maintained
FAILURE MODES:
❌ Relying on training data instead of web search for current facts ❌ Missing critical market size or growth data ❌ Incomplete market structure analysis ❌ Not identifying key industry trends ❌ Not writing content immediately to document ❌ Not presenting [C] continue option after content generation ❌ Not routing to competitive landscape step
❌ CRITICAL: Reading only partial step file - leads to incomplete understanding and poor decisions ❌ CRITICAL: Proceeding with 'C' without fully reading and understanding the next step file ❌ CRITICAL: Making decisions without complete understanding of step requirements and protocols
INDUSTRY RESEARCH PROTOCOLS:
- Research market research reports and industry analyses
- Use authoritative sources (market research firms, industry associations)
