It solves the problem of quickly finding external tools, competitors, and alternative approaches for a topic and converting that information into project-relevant insights.
Ask for research by saying: use the research skill to research "authentication with OAuth2 for browser-based apps" and write the findings to BRAINSTORM.md.

To research competitor tools and find product gaps, this Skill surveys external tools and approaches for your topic, captures key differentiators, strengths, and weaknesses, and appends a structured entry to BRAINSTORM.md identifying gaps and recommended TODO.md additions for your project.
The best way to compare alternative tools for engineering decisions is to run web searches with the current year (2026), survey the available external tool ecosystems, and record a structured analysis of differentiators, strengths, and weaknesses directly into your project's BRAINSTORM.md.
Web search research is converted into actionable project insights by comparing findings against existing project context in VISION.md to identify gaps, then writing an organized, inbox-style entry to BRAINSTORM.md so you can review and convert insights into next steps.
Yes, you need VISION.md, TODO.md, and BRAINSTORM.md files to perform structured tool comparisons, as the Skill reads them first to detect research tiers and compare findings against existing project context to identify gaps and recommend TODO.md additions.
You can use this for project brainstorming because it writes an organized, inbox-style research entry to BRAINSTORM.md, surveying tools and approaches to identify gaps and opportunities to adapt proven patterns without modifying GOALS.md or TODO.md.
A limitation of using automated research for product gap analysis is that it only appends findings to BRAINSTORM.md without directly modifying GOALS.md or TODO.md, meaning you must manually review the structured entry and convert the identified gaps into next steps.
