This generates structured research data and competitive analysis. 12 | 13 | **Phase 1 Validation**: Use the **results-validator** subagent to verify research accuracy, source quality, and completeness before proceeding to GTM phase. 14 | 15 | **Validation Failure Response**: If validation fails, forward the **results-validator** feedback content directly to **market-research-specialist** for targeted corrections. 16 | 17 | ### Phase 2: Go-to-Market Strategy Development 18 | 19 | Use the **gtm-strategy-developer** subagent to create comprehensive go-to-market strategies from the validated market research data. This produces customer segmentation, value propositions, sales channels, and launch plans. 20 | 21 | **Phase 2 Validation**: Use the **results-validator** subagent to verify GTM strategy consistency with research findings and validate assumptions before synthesis. 22 | 23 | **Validation Failure Response**: If validation fails, forward the **results-validator** feedback content directly to **gtm-strategy-developer** for targeted corrections. 24 | 25 | ### Phase 3: Research Synthesis 26 | 27 | Use the **research-synthesizer** subagent to generate executive summaries and strategic alignment reports from validated pipeline outputs. This creates concise strategic overviews with actionable next steps. 28 | 29 | ## Expected Pipeline Output 30 | 31 | - `results/research/` - Complete market research analysis 32 | - `results/validation/` - Quality assurance reports and validation metrics 33 | - `results/gtm/` - Comprehensive go-to-market strategy 34 | - Executive synthesis documents within research and GTM directories 35 | - Full automation from technical analysis to actionable launch plans with executive summaries 36 | 37 | ## Automation Features 38 | 39 | Makefile orchestration available with `make research`, `make validate`, `make gtm`, `make synthesis` for batch execution with validation feedback loops. 40 | 41 | ### Phase 4: Pipeline Execution Summary 42 | 43 | After completing all three prior phases, automatically generate `results/pipeline_execution_summary.md` containing: 44 | 45 | - Date, time and duration of pipeline run 46 | - Complete pipeline status and deliverables overview 47 | - Key strategic insights and alignment target analysis 48 | - Implementation roadmap and next steps 49 | - Success metrics and automation performance summary 50 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /CHANGELOG.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | 2 | # Changelog 3 | 4 | All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. 5 | 6 | The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), 7 | and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). 8 | 9 | ## Guiding Principles 10 | 11 | - Changelogs are for humans, not machines. 12 | - There should be an entry for every single version. 13 | - The same types of changes should be grouped. 14 | - Versions and sections should be linkable. 15 | - The latest version comes first. 16 | - The release date of each version is displayed. 17 | - Mention whether you follow Semantic Versioning. 18 | 19 | ## Types of changes 20 | 21 | - `Added` for new features. 22 | - `Changed` for changes in existing functionality. 23 | - `Deprecated` for soon-to-be removed features. 24 | - `Removed` for now removed features. 25 | - `Fixed` for any bug fixes. 26 | - `Security` in case of vulnerabilities. 27 | 28 | ## [Unreleased] 29 | 30 | ## [1.0.0] - 2025-08-18 31 | 32 | ### Added 33 | 34 | - Orchestration by Makefile pipeline or Claude Code using AGENTS.md as guideline 35 | - Claude Code sub agents do not inherit context from parent agent and use SUBAGENTS.md as common guideline 36 | - Sub agents market-research-specialist, gtm-strategy-developer, results-validator, research-synthesizer 37 | - Devcontainer.json fro DevEx 38 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /CLAUDE.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Insertions 2 | 3 | - Project guidelines and principles: @AGENTS.md 4 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /LICENSE: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | BSD 3-Clause License 2 | 3 | Copyright (c) 2025 qte77 4 | 5 | Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without 6 | modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: 7 | 8 | 1.

You must use the Write tool to create each deliverable as a separate markdown file. 9 | 10 | ### Required Process 11 | 12 | 1. Use LS tool to verify target directory exists (create with Write if needed) 13 | 2. Use Write tool to create each required file with complete content 14 | 3. Use LS tool after creation to verify files were written successfully 15 | 16 | ## Standard Framework Components 17 | 18 | For each analysis area, provide: 19 | 20 | - **Executive Summary** (3-5 key points or strategic insights) 21 | - **Detailed Findings** (comprehensive analysis or strategic framework) 22 | - **Strategic Recommendations** (actionable next steps or implementation plan) 23 | - **Success Metrics** (KPIs, measurement criteria, or data sources) 24 | 25 | ## Implementation Instructions Template 26 | 27 | 1. **START**: Use LS to check target directory exists 28 | 2. **READ INPUTS**: Use Read tool to analyze required source files 29 | 3. **FOR EACH FILE**: Use Write tool with full path `/results/[directory]/[filename]` 30 | 4. **VERIFY**: Use LS to confirm each file was created 31 | 5. **COMPLETE**: Ensure all required files exist before finishing 32 | 33 | ## Critical Warning 34 | 35 | **FAILURE TO CREATE FILES = TASK FAILURE** 36 | 37 | Each sub-agent must produce actual markdown files in their designated results directory. Text-only responses without file creation constitute incomplete task execution. 38 | 39 | ## Directory Structure 40 | 41 | - `results/research/` - Market research specialist outputs 42 | - `results/gtm/` - GTM strategy developer outputs 43 | - `results/synthesis/` - Research synthesizer outputs 44 | - `results/validation/` - Results validator outputs 45 | 46 | ## Mandatory Citation Requirements 47 | 48 | **ALL CLAIMS MUST INCLUDE PROPER SOURCE DOCUMENTATION:** 49 | 50 | - **Web URLs**: Include full URLs for all online sources (e.g., https://techcrunch.com/2024/article-title) 51 | - **Book Citations**: Include ISBN, author, title, publication year (e.g., "AI Strategy" by John Smith, ISBN: 978-1234567890, 2024) 52 | - **Reports**: Include report title, organization, publication date, and URL/DOI if available 53 | - **News Articles**: Include publication name, date, author, and full URL 54 | - **Company Data**: Include source type (SEC filing, investor deck, website), date accessed, and URL 55 | - **Academic Papers**: Include DOI, journal name, publication date, and authors 56 | 57 | **Citation Format Examples:** 58 | 59 | - Market sizing: "AI market reached $100B in 2024 (Source: Gartner AI Market Report 2024, https://gartner.com/report-link)" 60 | - Funding data: "Tea raised $5M Series A (Source: Crunchbase, accessed 2024-08-17, https://crunchbase.com/funding-round/...)" 61 | - Competitive info: "Darktrace revenue $500M ARR (Source: Darktrace Annual Report 2024, SEC Filing 10-K, https://sec.gov/...)" 62 | 63 | ## Quality Standards 64 | 65 | - Use clear, actionable language 66 | - Include specific recommendations and next steps 67 | - Provide quantitative metrics where possible 68 | - Maintain professional executive-level tone 69 | - Focus on strategic business value and implementation feasibility 70 | - **MANDATORY**: Every factual claim must include proper source citation 71 | 72 | ## Markdown Formatting Requirements 73 | 74 | **ALL OUTPUT FILES MUST BE VALID MARKDOWN** adhering to markdownlint rules: 75 | 76 | - **Reference**: 77 | - **Validation**: Ensure all markdown files pass linting without errors 78 | - **Key Requirements**: 79 | - Proper heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3, no skipping levels) 80 | - Blank lines around headings, lists, and code blocks 81 | -
