Market Gap Finder

An agent skill that discovers underserved niches and untapped opportunities in any market. Mines customer complaints, competitor blind spots, emerging trends, and geographic gaps to surface specific business opportunities most people miss.

What It Does

Give it any industry and it delivers:

• Industry overview — market size, major players, customer segments
• 4-6 scored gaps — each with evidence, target customer, business model, and feasibility assessment
• Gap ranking — prioritised by demand evidence, competition vacuum, revenue potential, accessibility, and timing
• The #1 opportunity — deep dive on the strongest gap with a 30-day action plan
• Trend analysis — macro forces creating new gaps right now

The Three-Skill Pipeline

This skill pairs with two companion skills for a complete business discovery workflow:

1. Market Gap Finder (this skill) → Find the opportunity
2. Side Hustle Evaluator → Stress-test whether it's viable
3. Competitor Intel Briefer → Scope the competitive landscape
