description

Use this skill when the user requests to generate, create, or write professional research reports including but not limited to market analysis, consumer insights, brand analysis, financial analysis, industry research, competitive intelligence, investment due diligence, or any consulting-grade analytical report. This skill operates in two phases — (1) generating a structured analysis framework with chapter skeleton, data query requirements, and analysis logic, and (2) after data collection by other skills, producing the final consulting-grade report with structured narratives, embedded charts, and strategic insights.

Professional Research Report Skill

Overview

This skill produces professional, consulting-grade research reports in Markdown format, covering domains such as market analysis, consumer insights, brand strategy, financial analysis, industry research, competitive intelligence, investment research, and macroeconomic analysis. It operates across two distinct phases:

1. Phase 1 — Analysis Framework Generation (第一阶段：分析框架生成): Given a research subject, produce a rigorous analysis framework including chapter skeleton, per-chapter data requirements, analysis logic, and visualization plan.
2. Phase 2 — Report Generation (第二阶段：报告生成): After data has been collected by other skills, synthesize all inputs into a final polished report.

The output adheres to McKinsey/BCG consulting voice standards. The report language, plan steps, and phase names (e.g. use "第一阶段", "第二阶段" instead of "Phase 1", "Phase 2") follow the output_locale setting (default: zh_CN for Chinese).

Data Authenticity Protocol

Strict Adherence Rule: All data presented in the report and visualized in charts MUST be derived directly from the provided Data Summary or External Search Findings.

• NO Hallucinations: Do not invent, estimate, or simulate data. If data is missing, state "Data not available" rather than fabricating numbers.
• Traceable Sources: Every major claim and chart must be traceable back to the input data package.

Core Capabilities

• Design analysis frameworks from scratch given only a research subject and scope
• Transform raw data into structured, high-depth research reports
• Follow the "Visual Anchor → Data Contrast → Integrated Analysis" flow per sub-chapter
• Produce insights following the "Data → User Psychology → Strategy Implication" chain
• Embed pre-generated charts and construct comparison tables
• Generate inline citations formatted per GB/T 7714-2015 standards
• Output reports in the language specified by output_locale with professional consulting tone
• Adapt analytical depth and structure to domain (marketing, finance, industry, etc.)

When to Use This Skill

Always load this skill when:

• User asks for a market analysis, consumer insight report, financial analysis, industry research, or any consulting-grade analytical report
• User provides a research subject and needs a structured analysis framework before data collection
• User provides data summaries, analysis frameworks, or chart files to be synthesized into a report
• User needs a professional consulting-style research report
• The task involves transforming research findings into structured strategic narratives

Phase 1: Analysis Framework Generation (第一阶段：分析框架生成)

Purpose

Given a research subject (e.g., "Gen-Z Skincare Market Analysis", "NEV Industry Competitive Landscape", "Brand X Consumer Profiling"), produce a complete analysis framework that serves as the blueprint for downstream data collection and final report generation.

Phase 1 Inputs

Input	Description	Required
Research Subject	The topic or question to be analyzed	Yes
Scope / Constraints	Geographic scope, time range, industry segment, target audience, etc.	Optional
Specific Angles	Any particular angles or hypotheses the user wants explored	Optional
Domain	The analytical domain: market, finance, industry, brand, consumer, investment, etc.	Inferred

Phase 1 Workflow

Step 1.1: Understand the Research Subject

• Parse the research subject to identify the core entity (market, brand, product, industry, consumer segment, financial instrument, etc.)
• Identify the analytical domain (marketing, finance, industry, competitive, consumer, investment, macro, etc.)
• Determine the natural analytical dimensions based on domain:

Domain	Typical Dimensions

Brand Analysis	Brand positioning, market share, consumer perception, marketing strategy, competitor comparison
Consumer Insights	Demographic profiling, purchase behavior, decision journey, pain points, scenario analysis
Financial Analysis	Macro environment, industry trends, company fundamentals, financial metrics, valuation, risk assessment
Industry Research	Value chain analysis, market size, competitive landscape, policy environment, technology trends, entry barriers
Investment Due Diligence	Business model, financial health, management assessment, market opportunity, risk factors, exit pathways
Competitive Intelligence	Competitor identification, strategic comparison, SWOT analysis, differentiated positioning, market dynamics

Step 1.2: Select Analysis Frameworks & Models

Based on the identified domain and research subject, select one or more professional analysis frameworks to structure the reasoning in each chapter. The chosen frameworks guide the Analysis Logic in the chapter skeleton (Step 1.3).

Selection Principles

1. Domain-First: Based on the domain identified in Step 1.1, select 2-4 most relevant frameworks from the toolkit above
2. Complementary: Choose complementary rather than overlapping frameworks (e.g., macro-level with PESTEL + micro-level with Porter's Five Forces)
3. Depth over Breadth: Better to deeply apply 2 frameworks than superficially stack 6
4. Data-Feasible: Selected frameworks must be supportable by downstream data collection skills — if the data required by a framework cannot be reasonably obtained, downgrade or substitute
5. Explicit Mapping: In the chapter skeleton, explicitly annotate which framework each chapter uses and how it is applied

Framework Selection Output Format

## Framework Selection

| Chapter | Selected Framework(s) | Application |
|---------|----------------------|-------------|
| Market Size & Growth Trends | TAM-SAM-SOM + Product Life Cycle | TAM-SAM-SOM to quantify market space, PLC to determine market stage |

Step 1.3: Design Chapter Skeleton

Produce a hierarchical chapter structure. Each chapter must include:

1. Chapter Title — Professional, concise, subject-based (follow titling constraints in Formatting section)
2. Analysis Objective — What this chapter aims to reveal
3. Analysis Logic — The reasoning chain or framework (must reference the frameworks selected in Step 1.2)
4. Core Hypothesis — Preliminary hypotheses to be validated or refuted by data

Chapter Skeleton Output Format

## Analysis Framework

### Chapter 1: [Title]
- **Analysis Objective**: [This chapter aims to...]
- **Analysis Logic**: [Framework or reasoning chain used]
- **Core Hypothesis**: [Hypotheses to validate]
- **Data Requirements**: (see Step 1.4)
- **Visualization Plan**: (see Step 1.5)

### Chapter 2: [Title]
...

Step 1.4: Define Data Query Requirements Per Chapter

For each chapter, specify exactly what data needs to be collected. This is the bridge to downstream data collection skills.

Each data requirement entry must include:

Field	Description
Data Metric	The specific metric or data point needed (e.g., "China skincare market size 2020-2025 (in billion CNY)")
Data Type	Quantitative, Qualitative, or Mixed
Suggested Sources	Suggested source categories: Industry reports, financial statements, government statistics, social media, e-commerce platforms, survey data, news
Search Keywords	Suggested search queries for data collection agents
Priority	P0 (Required) / P1 (Important) / P2 (Supplementary)
Time Range	The time period the data should cover

Data Requirements Output Format (per chapter)

#### Data Requirements

| # | Data Metric | Data Type | Suggested Sources | Search Keywords | Priority | Time Range |
|---|-------------|-----------|-------------------|-----------------|----------|------------|
| 1 | Market size (billion CNY) | Quantitative | Industry reports, government statistics | "China skincare market size 2024" | P0 | 2020-2025 |
| 2 | CAGR | Quantitative | Industry reports | "skincare CAGR growth rate" | P0 | 2020-2025 |
| 3 | Sub-category share | Quantitative | E-commerce platforms, industry reports | "skincare category share cream serum sunscreen" | P1 | Latest |
| 4 | Policy & regulatory updates | Qualitative | Government announcements, news | "cosmetics regulation 2024" | P2 | Past 1 year |

Step 1.5: Define Visualization & Content Structure Per Chapter

For each chapter, specify the planned visualization and content structure for the final report:

Field	Description
Visualization Type	Chart type: Line chart, bar chart, pie chart, scatter plot, radar chart, heatmap, Sankey diagram, comparison table, etc.
Visualization Title	Descriptive title for the chart
Visualization Data Mapping	Which data indicators map to X/Y axes or segments
Comparison Table Design	Column headers and comparison dimensions for the data contrast table
Argument Structure	The planned "What → Why → So What" narrative outline

Visualization Plan Output Format (per chapter)

#### Visualization & Content Plan

**Chart 1**: [Type] — [Title]
- X-axis: [Dimension], Y-axis: [Metric]
- Data source: Corresponds to Data Requirement #1, #2

**Comparison Table**:
| Dimension | Item A | Item B | Item C |
|-----------|--------|--------|--------|

**Argument Structure**:
1. **Observation (What)**: [Surface phenomenon revealed by data]
2. **Attribution (Why)**: [Driving factors or underlying causes]
3. **Implication (So What)**: [Strategic implications or recommended actions]

Step 1.6: Output Complete Analysis Framework

Assemble all outputs into a single, structured Analysis Framework Document:

# [Research Subject] Analysis Framework

## Research Overview
- **Research Subject**: [...]
- **Scope**: [Geography, time range, industry segment]
- **Analysis Domain**: [Market / Finance / Industry / Brand / Consumer / ...]

## Data Collection Task List
[Consolidate all P0/P1 data requirements across chapters into a structured task list for downstream data collection skills to execute]

Phase 1 Quality Checklist

• Analysis framework covers all natural dimensions for the identified domain
• 2-4 professional analysis frameworks are selected and explicitly mapped to chapters
• Selected frameworks are complementary (not overlapping) and data-feasible
• Each chapter has clear Analysis Objective, Analysis Logic (referencing chosen framework), and Core Hypothesis
• Data requirements are specific, measurable, and include search keywords
• Every chapter has at least one visualization plan
• Data priorities (P0/P1/P2) are assigned realistically
• The framework is actionable — a data collection agent can execute on the Search Keywords directly
• Data Collection Task List is comprehensive and deduplicated

---

Phase 1→2 Handoff: Data Collection & Chart Generation (第一至二阶段交接：数据收集与图表生成)

After the analysis framework is generated, it is handed off to other data collection skills (e.g., deep-research, data-analysis, web search agents) to:

1. Execute the Search Keywords from each chapter's data requirements
2. Collect quantitative data, qualitative insights, and source URLs
3. Generate charts based on the Visualization & Content Plan
4. Return a Data Package containing:
   • Data Summary: Raw numbers, metrics, and qualitative findings per chapter
   • Chart Files: Generated chart images with local file paths
   • External Search Findings: Source URLs and summaries for citations

This skill does NOT perform data collection. It only produces the framework (Phase 1) and the final report (Phase 2).

Chart Generation: If a visualization/charting skill is available (e.g., data-analysis, image-generation), chart generation can be deferred to the beginning of Phase 2 — see Step 2.3.

---

Phase 2: Report Generation (第二阶段：报告生成)

Purpose

Receive the completed Analysis Framework and Data Package from upstream, and synthesize them into a final consulting-grade report.

Phase 2 Inputs

Input	Description	Required
Analysis Framework	The framework document produced in Phase 1	Yes
Data Summary	Collected data organized per chapter from the data collection phase	Yes
Chart Files	Local file paths for generated chart images. If not provided, will be generated in Step 2.3 using available visualization skills	Optional
External Search Findings	URLs and summaries for inline citations	Optional

Phase 2 Workflow

Step 2.1: Receive and Validate Inputs

Verify that all required inputs are present:

1. Analysis Framework — Confirm it contains chapter skeleton, data requirements, and visualization plans
2. Data Summary — Confirm it contains data organized per chapter, cross-reference against P0 requirements
3. Chart Files — Confirm file paths are valid local paths

If any P0 data is missing, note it in the report and flag for the user.

Step 2.2: Map Report Structure

Map the final report structure from the Analysis Framework:

1. Abstract — Executive summary with key takeaways
2. Introduction — Background, objectives, methodology
3. Main Body Chapters (2...N) — Mapped from the Framework's chapter skeleton
4. Conclusion — Pure, objective synthesis
5. References — GB/T 7714-2015 formatted references

Step 2.3: Generate Chapter Charts (Pre-Report Visualization)

Before writing the report, generate all planned charts from the Analysis Framework's Visualization & Content Plan. This step ensures every sub-chapter has its "Visual Anchor" ready before narrative writing begins.

When to Execute This Step

• Chart Files already provided: Skip this step — proceed directly to Step 2.4.
• Chart Files NOT provided but a visualization skill is available: Execute this step to generate all charts first.
• No Chart Files and no visualization skill available: Skip this step — use comparison tables as the primary visual anchor in Step 2.4, and note the absence of charts.

Chart Generation Workflow

1. Extract Chart Tasks: Parse all Visualization & Content Plan entries from the Analysis Framework to build a chart generation task list:

#	Chapter	Chart Type	Chart Title	Data Mapping	Data Source
1	2.1	Line chart	Market Size Trend 2020-2025	X: Year, Y: Market Size (billion CNY)	Data Requirement #1, #2
2	3.1	Pie chart	Consumer Age Distribution	Segments: Age groups, Values: Share %	Data Requirement #5
...	...	...	...	...	...

2. Prepare Chart Data: For each chart task, extract the corresponding data points from the Data Summary.

   CRITICAL: Use ONLY the numbers provided in the Data Summary. Do NOT invent or "smooth" data to make charts look better. If data points are missing, the chart must reflect that reality (e.g., broken line or missing bar), or the chart type must be adjusted.

3. Delegate to Visualization Skill: Invoke the available visualization/charting skill (e.g., data-analysis) for each chart task with:

   • Chart type and title
   • Structured data
   • Axis labels and formatting preferences
   • Output file path convention: charts/chapter_{N}_{chart_index}.png

4. Collect Chart File Paths: Record all generated chart file paths for embedding in Step 2.4:

## Generated Charts
| # | Chapter | Chart Title | File Path |
|---|---------|-------------|-----------|
| 1 | 2.1 | Market Size Trend 2020-2025 | charts/chapter_2_1.png |
| 2 | 3.1 | Consumer Age Distribution | charts/chapter_3_1.png |

5. Validate: Confirm all P0-priority charts have been generated. If any chart generation fails, note it and fall back to comparison tables for that sub-chapter.

Principle: Complete ALL chart generation before starting report writing. This ensures a consistent visual narrative and avoids interleaving generation with writing.

Step 2.4: Write the Report

For each sub-chapter, follow the "Visual Anchor → Data Contrast → Integrated Analysis" flow:

1. Visual Evidence Block: Embed charts using ![Image Description](Actual_File_Path) — use the file paths collected in Step 2.3
2. Data Contrast Table: Create a Markdown comparison table for key metrics

   Source Rule: Every number in the table must come from the Data Summary. No hallucinations.

3. Integrated Narrative Analysis: Write analytical text following "What → Why → So What"

   Narrative Rule: Narrative must explain the provided data. Do not make claims unsupported by the inputs.

Each sub-chapter must end with a robust analytical paragraph (min. 200 words) that:

• Synthesizes conflicting or reinforcing data points
• Reveals the underlying user tension or opportunity
• Optionally ends with a punchy "One-Liner Truth" in a blockquote (>)

Step 2.5: Final Structure Self-Check

Before outputting, confirm the report contains all sections in order:

Abstract → 1. Introduction → 2...N. Body Chapters → N+1. Conclusion → N+2. References

Additionally verify:

• All charts generated in Step 2.3 are embedded in the correct sub-chapters
• Chart file paths in ![](path) references are valid
• Sub-chapters without charts have comparison tables as visual anchors

The report MUST NOT stop after the Conclusion — it MUST include References as the final section.

Formatting & Tone Standards

Consulting Voice

• Tone: McKinsey/BCG — Authoritative, Objective, Professional
• Language: All headings and content in the language specified by output_locale
• Number Formatting: Use English commas for thousands separators (1,000 not 1，000)
• Data emphasis: Bold important viewpoints and key numbers

Titling Constraints

• Numbering: Use standard numbering (1., 1.1) directly followed by the title
• Forbidden Prefixes: Do NOT use "Chapter", "Part", "Section" as prefixes
• Allowed Tone Words: Analysis, Profiling, Overview, Insights, Assessment
• Forbidden Words: "Decoding", "DNA", "Secrets", "Mindscape", "Solar System", "Unlocking"

Sub-Chapter Conclusions

• Requirement: End each sub-chapter with a robust analytical paragraph (min. 200 words).
• Narrative Flow: This paragraph must look like a natural continuation of the text. It must synthesize the section's findings into a strategic judgment.
• Content Logic:
  1. Synthesize the conflicting or reinforcing data points above.
  2. Reveal the underlying user tension or opportunity.
  3. Key Insight: Optional: Only if you have a concise, punchy "One-Liner Truth", place it at the very end using a Blockquote (>) to anchor the section.

Insight Depth (The "So What" Chain)

Every insight must connect Data → User Psychology → Strategy Implication:

❌ Bad: "Females are 60%. Strategy: Target females."

✅ Good: "Females constitute 60% with a high TGI of 180. **This suggests**
   the purchase decision is driven by aesthetic and social validation
   rather than pure utility. **Consequently**, media spend should pivot
   towards visual-heavy platforms (e.g., RED/Instagram) to maximize CTR,
   treating male audiences only as a secondary gift-giving segment."

References

• Inline: Use markdown links for sources (e.g. [Source Title](URL)) when using External Search Findings
• References section: Formatted strictly per GB/T 7714-2015

Markdown Rules

• Immediate Start: Begin directly with # Report Title — no introductory text
• No Separators: Do NOT use horizontal rules (---)

Notes

• This skill operates in two phases of a multi-step agentic workflow:
  • Phase 1 produces the analysis framework and data collection requirements
  • Data collection is performed by other skills (deep-research, data-analysis, etc.)
  • Phase 2 receives the collected data and produces the final report
• Dynamic titling: Rewrite topics from the Framework into professional, concise subject-based headers
• The Conclusion section must contain NO detailed recommendations — those belong in the preceding body chapters
• ZERO HALLUCINATION POLICY: Each statement, chart, and number in the report must be supported by data points from the input Data Summary. If data is missing, admit it.
• Traceability: If requested, you must be able to point to the specific line in the Data Summary or External Search Findings that supports a claim.
• The framework should adapt its analytical dimensions and depth to the specific domain (financial analysis uses different frameworks than consumer insights)
• When the research subject is ambiguous, default to the broadest reasonable scope and note assumptions
