## Steps

1. [Read Product Research Guide]: Read the documentation in: `./skills/sauna/[skill_id]/references/product.research.guide.md` (Get the market research output format)

2. Gather context from the user:
- What industry or product category?
- Any specific trends you're curious about?
- Looking for PLG tactics, market shifts, or both?
- What's your product stage? (early, growth, mature)

Check `./documents/product/profile.yaml` for existing product context.


3. Use `./skills/sauna/[skill_id]/references/skill/research.exa.lookup` to research market trends and PLG tactics:

Search queries to run (use current year in date-sensitive queries):
1. "product led growth tactics [industry] [current year]"
2. "[industry] SaaS trends product strategy"
3. "PLG companies [industry] case study results"
4. "product led growth playbook measurable impact"
5. "top [industry] product innovations [current year]"

Look for:
- Industry reports and trend analyses
- PLG case studies with metrics
- Product teardowns of fast-growing companies
- Investor presentations mentioning market trends
- Blog posts from product leaders


4. Synthesize findings into the Market Research format:

1. Key trends with impact analysis
2. Ranked PLG tactics with examples and metrics
3. Deep dives on most relevant tactics
4. Recommendations for their product/stage

Prioritize tactics with measurable results over theoretical approaches.
Include sources for all claims.


5. Offer to save key trends to `./documents/research/topics/*.md` for future reference.
Ask if they want to explore any specific tactic in more depth.
