+# market-research Plugin Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Build a new `market-research` Claude Code plugin whose `/market-research` skill autonomously scans the app/game market (free web + LLM trend synthesis), produces ≥10 scored, non-repeating clone candidates, and hands each user-chosen candidate to the existing `clone-app` skill.
+
+**Architecture:** A phased prose SKILL.md orchestrator (same shape as `clone-app/SKILL.md`) backed by two stdlib-only Python helper scripts (`fetch-charts.py` for App Store RSS chart data, `history.py` for the non-repeat memory) and three Markdown reference rubrics (`research-angles`, `scoring-guide`, `report-template`). Each script is independently testable offline against `tests/fixtures/`. The plugin is self-contained under `plugins/market-research/`; the only shared-file edit is adding one entry to root `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Bash (`#!/usr/bin/env bash`), Python 3 stdlib only (`urllib`, `json`, `argparse`, `ssl`, `subprocess`, `shutil`), Markdown skill/command/reference docs. No pip, no virtualenv.
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- **Never modify `plugins/android-reverse-engineering/`** — `git status --porcelain plugins/android-reverse-engineering/` must print nothing before any commit.
+- **Python is stdlib-only** — `urllib`, `json`, `re`, `argparse`, `ssl`, `subprocess`, `shutil`. No pip, no virtualenv.
+- **All scripts** use `#!/usr/bin/env bash` or `#!/usr/bin/env python3`; bash scripts are invoked with `bash <path>`, not `sh`.
+- **Bash tests** use `set -uo pipefail` (not `-e`), aggregate failures into a `fail` var so every assertion runs, and `exit $fail`.
+- **Python network scripts** must support an offline flag (`--json-file`) and be tested against `tests/fixtures/` — never hitting the network in tests.
+- **Working dir** at runtime is `./work/market-research/` relative to the user's cwd — never inside the plugin.
+- **Effort** is measured in "AI Sprints" (one focused Claude session), never calendar time.
+- **Commits** follow Conventional Commits scoped to the plugin: `feat(market-research): …`, `test(market-research): …`.
+- **HTTP GETs** copy the existing clone-app pattern: try `urllib` with `User-Agent: "Mozilla/5.0"`, fall back to system `curl` on an `ssl.SSLError` (macOS system Python ships without a CA bundle).
+- **Candidate identity key** is the package if present, else the lowercased, stripped name. This key is used identically by `history.py` dedup and by the SKILL's handoff. Defined in Task 3, reused in Task 5.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Plugin scaffold + structural smoke test
+
+Create the plugin skeleton (manifest, command, README), register it in the marketplace, and add a structural smoke test that locks the file layout in place. Later tasks fill the scripts/references/skill this test expects, so the smoke test is written now but its script/reference/skill assertions will only fully pass once Tasks 2–5 land — Step 4 below runs only the subset that exists after this task.
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `plugins/market-research/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`
+- Create: `plugins/market-research/commands/market-research.md`
+- Create: `plugins/market-research/README.md`
+- Create: `plugins/market-research/tests/smoke-structure.sh`
+- Modify: `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` (append one plugin entry)
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: nothing (first task).
+- Produces: the directory layout `plugins/market-research/{.claude-plugin,commands,skills/market-research/{scripts,references},tests/fixtures}` that all later tasks write into; the marketplace entry `name: "market-research"`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the plugin manifest**
+
+Create `plugins/market-research/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "market-research",
+  "version": "0.1.0",
+  "description": "Autonomously research the app/game market (free web + LLM trend synthesis) and surface scored, non-repeating clone candidates that feed into the clone-app skill.",
+  "author": {
+    "name": "masa2146"
+  },
+  "repository": "https://github.com/masa2146/clone-app-skill",
+  "license": "Apache-2.0",
+  "keywords": ["market-research", "app-discovery", "trends", "clone", "play-store", "app-store"],
+  "skills": "./skills/",
+  "commands": "./commands/"
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write the slash command**
+
+Create `plugins/market-research/commands/market-research.md`:
+
+```markdown
+---
+allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit, WebFetch, WebSearch, Skill
+description: Research the app/game market and surface scored, non-repeating clone candidates
+user-invocable: true
+argument-hint: [optional focus, e.g. "casual games" or "fintech LATAM"]
+argument: optional market focus or angle (optional)
+---
+
+# /market-research
+
+Run the market-research workflow: scan the market, score candidates, hand picks to clone-app.
+
+## Instructions
+
+Follow the market-research skill workflow in
+`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/market-research/SKILL.md` exactly, phases 0 through 5.
+
+### Step 1: Optional focus
+If the user passed a focus argument (e.g. "casual games", "fintech LATAM"), bias
+the Phase 0 seed selection toward it. Otherwise rotate seeds normally.
+
+### Step 2: Run the skill
+Execute Phase 0 → Phase 5 from SKILL.md. Pause for the user at Phase 5 (pick
+candidates to hand to clone-app).
+
+### Step 3: Deliver
+Ensure the report is written to `./work/market-research/research-<date>.md` and
+the new suggestions are appended to `./work/market-research/history.json`. For
+each candidate the user picks, resolve it to a Google Play package/URL and invoke
+the `clone-app` skill on it.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Write the README**
+
+Create `plugins/market-research/README.md`:
+
+```markdown
+# market-research
+
+A Claude Code plugin that autonomously researches the app/game market and surfaces
+scored, non-repeating clone candidates, then hands user-chosen candidates to the
+`clone-app` plugin for feasibility analysis.
+
+## What it does
+
+`/market-research` runs a 6-phase workflow:
+
+0. **Seed rotation** — pick varied search angles (category × region × niche) so runs differ.
+1. **Gather** — App Store RSS chart data (`fetch-charts.py`) + free web search for trends.
+2. **Synthesize** — cluster findings into ≥10 distinct app/game ideas.
+3. **Score** — composite score: cloneability + market opportunity + monetization fit.
+4. **Dedup** — exclude anything already in `./work/market-research/history.json`.
+5. **Present + handoff** — show the ranked table; chosen candidates flow into `clone-app`.
+
+## State
+
+Written under `./work/market-research/` in your current directory:
+- `history.json` — every past suggestion; the non-repeat memory.
+- `research-<date>.md` — the full report for a run.
+
+## Scripts
+
+- `scripts/fetch-charts.py` — fetch App Store RSS chart feeds → normalized JSON.
+- `scripts/history.py` — read / append / dedup the suggestion history.
+
+Python is stdlib-only. Tests run offline against `tests/fixtures/`:
+
+```bash
+bash plugins/market-research/tests/run-all.sh
+```
+
+## Effort convention
+
+Effort is measured in **AI Sprints** (one focused Claude session), never calendar time.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Append the marketplace entry**
+
+In `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`, add a third object to the `plugins` array, after the `clone-app` entry (keep the existing two entries byte-identical). The new entry:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "market-research",
+  "source": "./plugins/market-research",
+  "description": "Research the app/game market and surface scored, non-repeating clone candidates that feed into clone-app.",
+  "version": "0.1.0",
+  "author": {
+    "name": "masa2146"
+  },
+  "repository": "https://github.com/masa2146/clone-app-skill",
+  "license": "Apache-2.0",
+  "keywords": ["market-research", "app-discovery", "trends", "clone"],
+  "category": "security"
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Write the structural smoke test**
+
+Create `plugins/market-research/tests/smoke-structure.sh`. It checks the full intended layout (including files created in Tasks 2–5) so it doubles as the plugin's final structural gate; everything is asserted now and the later tasks make it fully green.
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+set -uo pipefail
+ROOT="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")/../../.." && pwd)"   # repo root
+P="$ROOT/plugins/market-research"
+fail=0
+must_exist() { [[ -e "$1" ]] && echo "PASS exists: ${1#$ROOT/}" || { echo "FAIL missing: ${1#$ROOT/}"; fail=1; }; }
+must_exec()  { [[ -x "$1" ]] && echo "PASS exec: ${1#$ROOT/}"   || { echo "FAIL not exec: ${1#$ROOT/}"; fail=1; }; }
+
+must_exist "$P/.claude-plugin/plugin.json"
+must_exist "$P/commands/market-research.md"
+must_exist "$P/README.md"
+must_exist "$P/skills/market-research/SKILL.md"
+for s in fetch-charts.py history.py; do
+  must_exist "$P/skills/market-research/scripts/$s"
+  must_exec  "$P/skills/market-research/scripts/$s"
+done
+for r in research-angles scoring-guide report-template; do
+  must_exist "$P/skills/market-research/references/$r.md"
+done
+
+# JSON validity: plugin manifest + marketplace
+python3 -c "import json;json.load(open('$P/.claude-plugin/plugin.json'));json.load(open('$ROOT/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json'))" \
+  && echo "PASS json valid" || { echo "FAIL json invalid"; fail=1; }
+
+# all three plugins present in marketplace
+python3 -c "
+import json;d=json.load(open('$ROOT/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json'))
+names=[p['name'] for p in d['plugins']]
+assert 'market-research' in names and 'clone-app' in names and 'android-reverse-engineering' in names
+print('PASS marketplace has all three plugins')" || { echo "FAIL marketplace entries"; fail=1; }
+
+exit $fail
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Make the test executable and create empty dirs**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+chmod +x plugins/market-research/tests/smoke-structure.sh
+mkdir -p plugins/market-research/skills/market-research/scripts \
+         plugins/market-research/skills/market-research/references \
+         plugins/market-research/tests/fixtures
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Verify upstream untouched + marketplace valid**
+
+Run:
+```bash
+git status --porcelain plugins/android-reverse-engineering/
+python3 -c "import json; json.load(open('.claude-plugin/marketplace.json')); print('marketplace OK')"
+```
+Expected: the `git status` line prints **nothing**; the python prints `marketplace OK`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add plugins/market-research/.claude-plugin plugins/market-research/commands \
+        plugins/market-research/README.md plugins/market-research/tests/smoke-structure.sh \
+        .claude-plugin/marketplace.json
+git commit -m "feat(market-research): scaffold plugin, command, README, marketplace entry"
+```

+
+### Task 2: `fetch-charts.py` — App Store RSS chart fetcher
+
+Fetch and normalize Apple's public App Store RSS chart feeds (top free / top paid / top grossing) into a flat JSON list of ranked entries. This is the only hard chart data the skill ingests; trend signal beyond it comes from the model's web search in the SKILL prose (not scriptable/testable). iOS bundle IDs are informational only — Android package resolution happens later in the skill.
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `plugins/market-research/skills/market-research/scripts/fetch-charts.py`
+- Create: `plugins/market-research/tests/fixtures/rss-sample.json`
+- Test: `plugins/market-research/tests/test-fetch-charts.py`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: nothing from earlier tasks.
+- Produces: CLI `python3 fetch-charts.py <feed> [--region us] [--limit 25] [--json-file PATH]` printing `json.dumps(..., indent=2)` of `{"feed","region","count","entries":[...]}`. Each entry is a dict with keys `rank` (int), `name` (str|None), `developer` (str|None), `category` (str|None), `bundle_id` (str|None), `price` (str|None). `<feed>` is one of `topfreeapplications`, `toppaidapplications`, `topgrossingapplications`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Create the RSS fixture**
+
+Create `plugins/market-research/tests/fixtures/rss-sample.json` — a trimmed but structurally faithful Apple RSS JSON with two entries:
+
+```json
+{
+  "feed": {
+    "entry": [
+      {
+        "im:name": { "label": "Puzzle Quest Saga" },
+        "im:artist": { "label": "Casual Studio" },
+        "category": { "attributes": { "label": "Games", "im:id": "6014" } },
+        "id": { "attributes": { "im:id": "1111111111", "im:bundleId": "com.casual.puzzlequest" } },
+        "im:price": { "attributes": { "amount": "0.00000", "currency": "USD" } }
+      },
+      {
+        "im:name": { "label": "Budget Buddy" },
+        "im:artist": { "label": "Fintech Labs" },
+        "category": { "attributes": { "label": "Finance", "im:id": "6015" } },
+        "id": { "attributes": { "im:id": "2222222222", "im:bundleId": "com.fintech.budgetbuddy" } },
+        "im:price": { "attributes": { "amount": "0.00000", "currency": "USD" } }
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write the failing test**
+
+Create `plugins/market-research/tests/test-fetch-charts.py`:
+
+```python
+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+import json, subprocess, sys, os
+
+HERE = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
+SCRIPT = os.path.join(HERE, "..", "skills", "market-research", "scripts", "fetch-charts.py")
+FIXTURE = os.path.join(HERE, "fixtures", "rss-sample.json")
+
+def run():
+    out = subprocess.check_output(
+        [sys.executable, SCRIPT, "topfreeapplications",
+         "--region", "us", "--json-file", FIXTURE])
+    return json.loads(out)
+
+def main():
+    d = run()
+    fails = []
+    def check(name, cond):
+        print(f"{'PASS' if cond else 'FAIL'}: {name}")
+        if not cond: fails.append(name)
+
+    check("feed", d["feed"] == "topfreeapplications")
+    check("region", d["region"] == "us")
+    check("count", d["count"] == 2)
+    e0 = d["entries"][0]
+    check("rank 1", e0["rank"] == 1)
+    check("name", e0["name"] == "Puzzle Quest Saga")
+    check("developer", e0["developer"] == "Casual Studio")
+    check("category", e0["category"] == "Games")
+    check("bundle_id", e0["bundle_id"] == "com.casual.puzzlequest")
+    check("price", e0["price"] == "0.00000")
+    e1 = d["entries"][1]
+    check("rank 2", e1["rank"] == 2)
+    check("second name", e1["name"] == "Budget Buddy")
+    for k in ["rank", "name", "developer", "category", "bundle_id", "price"]:
+        check(f"key present: {k}", k in e0)
+    sys.exit(1 if fails else 0)
+
+main()
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run the test to verify it fails**
+
+Run: `python3 plugins/market-research/tests/test-fetch-charts.py`
+Expected: FAIL — the script file does not exist yet (subprocess raises / non-zero).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Write the implementation**
+
+Create `plugins/market-research/skills/market-research/scripts/fetch-charts.py`:
+
+```python
+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+"""Fetch an Apple App Store RSS chart feed into a normalized JSON list.
+
+Apple publishes public, no-auth RSS chart feeds as JSON at
+https://itunes.apple.com/<region>/rss/<feed>/limit=<n>/json . They give a
+ranked list of trending apps (name, developer, category, iOS bundle id, price).
+
+This is iOS chart data — bundle ids are iOS bundle ids, NOT Android packages.
+The market-research skill uses these as trend signal and resolves a Google Play
+package later (Phase 5) before any clone-app handoff. Stdlib-only, no pip.

+
+### Task 3: `history.py` — non-repeat suggestion memory
+
+Maintain `history.json`: the list of every candidate ever suggested, so each run can exclude what it has already proposed. Two subcommands: `filter` (drop already-seen candidates from a list, on stdout) and `add` (append candidates to history). Identity key = package if present, else lowercased/stripped name — the shared key from Global Constraints.
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `plugins/market-research/skills/market-research/scripts/history.py`
+- Create: `plugins/market-research/tests/fixtures/history-seed.json`
+- Create: `plugins/market-research/tests/fixtures/candidates-sample.json`
+- Test: `plugins/market-research/tests/test-history.py`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: nothing from earlier tasks.
+- Produces:
+  - `python3 history.py filter --history H.json < candidates.json` → prints the candidates array with already-seen entries removed.
+  - `python3 history.py add --history H.json < candidates.json` → appends candidates to `H.json` (creating it if absent), writes the file, prints `{"added": N, "total": M}`.
+  - Importable `cand_key(entry) -> str`: returns `entry["package"]` if truthy, else `entry["name"].strip().lower()`. This is the canonical candidate identity used by the SKILL handoff too.
+  - A candidate is an object with at least a `name`; `package` is optional.
+  - `history.json` on disk is `{"suggestions": [ {key, name, package, date, run_id}, ... ]}`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Create the fixtures**
+
+Create `plugins/market-research/tests/fixtures/history-seed.json`:

+```json
+{
+  "suggestions": [
+    { "key": "com.casual.puzzlequest", "name": "Puzzle Quest Saga", "package": "com.casual.puzzlequest", "date": "2026-06-01", "run_id": "seed" },

+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Create `plugins/market-research/tests/fixtures/candidates-sample.json` — three candidates, two of which collide with the seed (one by package, one by name-case):
+
+```json
+[
+  { "name": "Puzzle Quest Saga", "package": "com.casual.puzzlequest", "category": "Games" },

+### Task 4: Reference rubrics
+
+Write the three Markdown rubrics the SKILL reads so AI-judgment steps (angle rotation, scoring, report shape) stay consistent and tunable without editing the prose. These are documentation deliverables — no code test beyond the smoke test's existence check (Task 1, Step 5), so this task's gate is that smoke-structure passes their `must_exist` lines.
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `plugins/market-research/skills/market-research/references/research-angles.md`
+- Create: `plugins/market-research/skills/market-research/references/scoring-guide.md`
+- Create: `plugins/market-research/skills/market-research/references/report-template.md`
+
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: the candidate identity concept from Task 3 (scoring-guide references the same `name`/`package` fields).
+- Produces: three rubric files the SKILL (Task 5) reads by path. `scoring-guide.md` defines the four score components and their weights that the SKILL's Phase 3 applies. `report-template.md` defines the section order the SKILL's Phase 5 fills.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the research-angles rubric**
+
+Create `plugins/market-research/skills/market-research/references/research-angles.md`:
+
+```markdown
+# Research Angles
+
+A rotating menu of search angles. Each run picks a DIFFERENT combination so
+results vary run-to-run (paired with history exclusion). Do not use the same
+combination two runs in a row — vary at least the category and the region.
+
+## How to rotate
+
+1. Read `./work/market-research/history.json` if present; note the angles used
+   recently (the `run_id` encodes the angle — see SKILL Phase 0).
+2. Pick **2–3 categories**, **1–2 regions**, and **1 niche lens** you did NOT use
+   last run. If a focus argument was passed to the command, force one category to
+   match it.
+3. Combine into concrete searches in Phase 1.
+
+## Categories
+
+- Hyper-casual games
+- Puzzle / word games
+- Productivity & utilities
+- Finance / fintech
+- Health & fitness
+- Education / kids
+- Photo & video editing
+- AI tools (chat, image, voice)
+- Social & community
+- Lifestyle / habit
+
+## Regions (App Store RSS region codes)
+
+- `us` (United States)
+- `gb` (United Kingdom)
+- `br` (Brazil — LATAM signal)
+- `in` (India)
+- `tr` (Türkiye)
+- `id` (Indonesia)
+- `de` (Germany)
+
+## Niche lenses
+
+- Underserved language/region (few quality localized apps)
+- Dated incumbent (top app last updated > 1 year ago)
+- Single-feature breakout (one job done very well)
+- Rising trend (news/ProductHunt/Reddit chatter in the last ~90 days)
+- Monetization mismatch (popular but weakly monetized → headroom)
+
+## App Store RSS feeds to pull (via fetch-charts.py)
+
+- `topfreeapplications` — demand/popularity signal
+- `topgrossingapplications` — monetization signal
+- `toppaidapplications` — willingness-to-pay signal
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write the scoring rubric**
+
+Create `plugins/market-research/skills/market-research/references/scoring-guide.md`:
+
+```markdown
+# Scoring Guide
+
+Score every candidate 0–100 as a weighted composite. Three PRIMARY components
+(cloneability, market opportunity, monetization fit) plus a secondary tiebreaker
+(niche gap). Show the component scores, not just the total, so picks are auditable.
+
+## Components & weights
+
+| Component | Weight | What it measures |
+|---|---|---|
+| Cloneability | 35% | How cheaply this rebuilds with clone-app + AI. |
+| Market opportunity | 35% | Demand, growth, and incumbent weakness. |
+| Monetization fit | 20% | Ads/IAP friendliness and category ARPU. |
+| Niche gap (tiebreaker) | 10% | Underserved region/language/segment. |
+
+Total = 0.35·clone + 0.35·market + 0.20·monetization + 0.10·niche, each subscore 0–100.
+
+## Scoring each component (0–100)
+
+**Cloneability** — higher = easier:
+- 80–100: simple CRUD/utility, few backend endpoints, no heavy ML, standard UI.
+- 50–79: moderate backend, some real-time or media, mainstream third-party SDKs.
+- 0–49: heavy ML/on-device models, complex real-time/multiplayer, deep native, large content moat.
+
+**Market opportunity** — higher = better:
+- 80–100: strong/growing demand, dated or weak incumbents, clear unmet need.
+- 50–79: healthy demand, beatable incumbents.
+- 0–49: saturated, dominated by entrenched well-funded players.
+
+**Monetization fit** — higher = better:
+- 80–100: category with proven ads+IAP and high ARPU (casual games, utilities).
+- 50–79: monetizable but moderate ARPU.
+- 0–49: hard to monetize / users expect free.
+
+**Niche gap** — higher = more underserved:
+- 80–100: clear language/region/segment with no quality option.
+- 0–49: well served everywhere.
+
+## Output per candidate
+
+For each candidate keep: `name`, `package` (if resolved), `category`, the four
+subscores, the weighted `total`, and a one-line rationale. Rank by `total`
+descending. Produce at least 10 candidates AFTER history exclusion.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Write the report template**
+
+Create `plugins/market-research/skills/market-research/references/report-template.md`:
+
+```markdown
+# Market Research Report Template
+
+Fill every section. Write to `./work/market-research/research-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md`.
+
+---
+
+# Market Research — <YYYY-MM-DD>
+
+## Run parameters
+- Angles this run: <categories / regions / niche lens chosen in Phase 0>
+- Focus argument: <the user's focus, or "none">
+- Sources: App Store RSS (<feeds/regions pulled>) + web search (<themes>)
+- Candidates after history exclusion: <N> (history had <M> prior suggestions)
+
+## Top candidates (ranked)
+
+| # | Name | Category | Clone | Market | Monet. | Niche | **Total** | Why now |
+|---|------|----------|------:|-------:|-------:|------:|----------:|---------|
+| 1 | …    | …        |    85 |     80 |     75 |    60 |      **79** | one-line trend rationale |
+| … |      |          |       |        |        |       |           |         |
+
+(At least 10 rows.)
+
+## Candidate detail
+
+For each of the top candidates:
+
+### <name>
+- **Package (if known):** <com.x.y or "to resolve">
+- **What it does:** <1–2 sentences>
+- **Why now:** <trend signal: chart movement, news, dated incumbent…>
+- **Incumbents:** <who already does this and how weak/strong>
+- **Monetization:** <ads / IAP / subscription; ARPU note>
+- **Scores:** clone <>, market <>, monetization <>, niche <> → **total <>**
+- **Clone risk flags:** <heavy ML / native / content moat / none>
+
+## Recommended picks
+
+Top 3 to send to clone-app first, with one sentence each on why they lead.
+
+## Next step
+
+The user picks one or more candidates; each chosen candidate is resolved to a
+Google Play package/URL and handed to the `clone-app` skill for full feasibility.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run the structural smoke test (references now exist)**
+
+Run: `bash plugins/market-research/tests/smoke-structure.sh`
+Expected: the three `references/*.md` lines now print `PASS exists`. (SKILL.md and the scripts may still show their state per which tasks have run; if Tasks 2–3 are already done, only the SKILL line is still expected to fail until Task 5.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add plugins/market-research/skills/market-research/references/
+git commit -m "feat(market-research): add research-angles, scoring, and report rubrics"
+```
+

+
+### Task 5: SKILL.md orchestrator
+
+Write the phased prose workflow Claude executes — the heart of the plugin. It wires the scripts and rubrics into the 6-phase flow and ends by handing user-chosen candidates to `clone-app`. No new code test; its gate is the smoke test (SKILL.md existence) plus a content grep for the phase markers and the clone-app handoff.
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `plugins/market-research/skills/market-research/SKILL.md`
+- Test: `plugins/market-research/tests/test-skill-content.sh`

+- Consumes: `fetch-charts.py` CLI (Task 2), `history.py filter`/`add` CLI and the `cand_key` rule (Task 3), the three rubrics (Task 4).
+- Produces: the executable workflow. Phase 5 invokes the `clone-app` skill per pick. Defines the on-disk state contract: `./work/market-research/history.json` and `./work/market-research/research-<date>.md`.

+
+# Market Research — Discover Clone Candidates
+
+Scan the app/game market with free sources, score candidates, and hand the ones
+you pick to the `clone-app` skill. Every run rotates its search angles and
+excludes everything suggested before, so results stay fresh.
+
+This skill orchestrates 6 phases (0–5). Deterministic steps are factored into
+helper scripts under `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/market-research/scripts/`;
+AI-judgment steps follow rubrics under `.../references/`.
+
+## Legal note
+This produces market research and ideas only. Actual cloning is gated later by
+the `clone-app` skill's own legal note (analyze only apps you are authorized to).
+
+## State & working dir
+All state lives under `./work/market-research/` in the user's cwd (never inside
+the plugin):
+- `history.json` — every candidate ever suggested (the non-repeat memory).
+- `research-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md` — this run's report.
+
+Create it: `WORK="./work/market-research"` and `mkdir -p "$WORK"`.
+
+Pick a `RUN_ID` for this run that encodes the chosen angles (e.g.
+`2026-06-22-games-br`); it is stored with each suggestion so future runs can see
+which angles were used recently.
+
+## Phase 0: Seed rotation
+Read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/market-research/references/research-angles.md`.
+If `$WORK/history.json` exists, skim recent `run_id`s to see which angles were
+used lately. Choose 2–3 categories, 1–2 regions, and 1 niche lens you did NOT use
+last run. If the command passed a focus argument, force one category to match it.
+State the chosen angles to the user in one line before continuing.
+
+## Phase 1: Gather (free web)
+Hard chart data — for each chosen region, pull the relevant feeds:
+```bash
+python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/market-research/scripts/fetch-charts.py \
+  topfreeapplications --region <region> --limit 25 > "$WORK/charts-<region>-free.json"
+python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/market-research/scripts/fetch-charts.py \
+  topgrossingapplications --region <region> --limit 25 > "$WORK/charts-<region>-grossing.json"
+```
+(Top-grossing = monetization signal; top-free = demand signal. Add
+`toppaidapplications` if willingness-to-pay matters for the angle.) If a fetch
+fails, note it and continue with the feeds you got.
+
+Trend signal — use WebSearch for the chosen categories/niches: new releases,
+ProductHunt launches, Reddit/news chatter in the last ~90 days, "fastest growing
+<category> apps 2026", dated-incumbent complaints. Vary the queries by the
+run's angles so two runs don't search the same terms. These results are the
+qualitative half the charts can't give.
+
+## Phase 2: Synthesize candidates
+Cluster the chart entries + web findings into **at least 12** distinct app/game
+ideas (synthesize more than 10 so dedup in Phase 4 still leaves ≥10). For each:
+name, category, what-it-does, why-now (trend signal), incumbent(s), monetization
+model. Note that App Store `bundle_id`s from the charts are iOS — treat them as
+signal, not Android packages. Write the working list as a JSON array (objects
+with at least `name`, optional `package`, `category`) to `$WORK/candidates.json`.
+
+## Phase 3: Score
+Read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/market-research/references/scoring-guide.md`.
+Score every candidate's four components and weighted total. Add the subscores and
+`total` to each object in `$WORK/candidates.json`. Rank by `total` descending.
+
+## Phase 4: History dedup
+Drop anything already suggested:
+```bash
+python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/market-research/scripts/history.py \
+  filter --history "$WORK/history.json" < "$WORK/candidates.json" > "$WORK/fresh.json"
+```
+If fewer than 10 candidates survive, go back to Phase 1/2 with a different angle
+and synthesize more, then re-filter — never present a padded or repeated list.
+
+## Phase 5: Present + handoff
+Read `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/market-research/references/report-template.md`.
+Fill it from `$WORK/fresh.json` and write `$WORK/research-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md` (use
+the actual run date). Show the user the ranked table (≥10 rows) and your top-3
+recommended picks.
+
+Record this run's suggestions so they won't repeat:
+```bash
+python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/market-research/scripts/history.py \
+  add --history "$WORK/history.json" --date <YYYY-MM-DD> --run-id "<RUN_ID>" \
+  < "$WORK/fresh.json"
+```
+
+Then ask which candidate(s) to pursue. For each pick:
+1. Resolve it to a Google Play package/URL. If you don't already have the package,
+   WebSearch `"<name>" site:play.google.com` (or the developer + app name) and
+   confirm the `play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=...` URL.
+2. Invoke the `clone-app` skill on that URL/package to run full feasibility.
+If the user picks nothing, stop — the report stands on its own.
+
+## Error Handling Summary
+| Scenario | Action |
+|---|---|
+| `fetch-charts.py` fails for a region | note it, continue with other feeds/web search |
+| Web search returns thin results | broaden queries within the chosen angle, try another region |
+| < 10 candidates survive dedup | loop back to Phase 1/2 with a new angle, re-filter |
+| history.json missing/first run | treat as empty; all candidates are fresh |
+| Candidate has no resolvable Play package | skip the handoff for it, keep it in the report as iOS-only/unresolved |
+| User picks nothing | stop after writing the report |

+## Self-Review
+
+**1. Spec coverage** (against §6 of the design spec):
+- P0 seed rotation → Task 4 `research-angles.md` + Task 5 SKILL Phase 0. ✓
+- P1 gather (App Store RSS + web) → Task 2 `fetch-charts.py` + SKILL Phase 1. ✓
+- P2 synthesize ≥10 → SKILL Phase 2 (synthesize ≥12 to survive dedup). ✓
+- P3 composite score → Task 4 `scoring-guide.md` + SKILL Phase 3. ✓
+- P4 history dedup → Task 3 `history.py` + SKILL Phase 4. ✓
+- P5 present + clone-app handoff incl. package resolution → SKILL Phase 5. ✓
+- State files (`history.json`, `research-<date>.md`) → Task 3 + SKILL state section. ✓
+- Scripts stdlib-only, offline-fixture tested → Tasks 2,3. ✓
+- Three rubrics → Task 4. ✓
+- Tests (fixtures, dedup, scoring sanity via scoring-guide, smoke) → Tasks 1,2,3,5,6. ✓
+- Marketplace entry, own plugin.json → Task 1. ✓
+- Upstream untouched → checked in Tasks 1,6. ✓
+
+Note: the spec mentioned a "scoring sanity" test; scoring is an AI-judgment step driven by `scoring-guide.md` (a rubric, not code), so it is validated by the SKILL content test referencing the rubric rather than a unit test — consistent with clone-app, where rubric-driven steps have no unit test.
+
+**2. Placeholder scan:** No "TBD"/"TODO"/"handle edge cases" left. All code blocks are complete and runnable. Error handling is concrete (explicit fallbacks in scripts and the SKILL Error Handling table).
+
+**3. Type consistency:** `cand_key` defined once (Task 3) and referenced by name in Task 5; candidate object shape (`name`, optional `package`, `category`, subscores, `total`) is consistent across Tasks 3, 4, 5. `fetch-charts.py` output keys (`feed`,`region`,`count`,`entries[]` with `rank`/`name`/`developer`/`category`/`bundle_id`/`price`) match between Task 2 implementation and test. `history.py` subcommands (`filter`/`add`, `--history`/`--date`/`--run-id`) match between Task 3 impl, test, and SKILL Phase 4/5 calls.
