Who it is forA developer tool founder whose roadmap is a guess because they have not interviewed users who are not already friends.
The problemYou do not know which communities, newsletters, or GitHub threads hold your users, so channel ideas default to posting on Reddit and Hacker News.
The outcomeA market research file with linked findings on user communities, how comparable products launched, rivals, and an outreach list drawn from how strangers describe the problem.
What you need first
- A coding agent that supports the Agent Skills spec (Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex), or any chat assistant for the copy-paste path
- Web search turned on for the research-the-market step
- About 15 minutes to answer the five questions in 00-start-here
- Git installed if you use the clone-based install
Steps
- Clone the repo with: git clone https://github.com/AIDevGTM/gtm-cofounder.git (inferred, check the README)
- Copy the skills into your agent's skills folder with: cp -r gtm-cofounder/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
- Run 00-start-here with your agent so the founder brief exists.
- Tell the agent: Run research-the-market.
- Open docs/gtm-cofounder/market-research.md and check each finding's link before you act on it.
Prompt for your agent
Run research-the-market in the gtm-cofounder skills for <product name> and <target user role>. Expected output: docs/gtm-cofounder/market-research.md with linked communities ranked by fit and the rules each room has for self-promotion. Verify that every finding has a link and is tagged [researched], not treated as a real user statement.
Caveat. Public evidence from research is marked as researched and is not a substitute for a real user telling you the problem, so the talk-to-users skill is still needed.
