About this skill
Ask an AI "is this niche worth it?" and it will happily invent search volumes, revenue figures and "growing markets".
Niche Proof fixes that. It makes your agent research like a skeptic:
- Every claim gets a label: [Verified] with URL and date, [Third-party] with source, [Unverified], or [Estimate] with the math shown
- If a number can't be found, it says "not found" instead of guessing
- It checks at least 4 independent signal types: search interest, community pain, paid marketplaces, creators, builders, money
- It always checks free alternatives (the thing that quietly kills paid demand)
- It scores the idea out of 100 and gives GO / GO WITH CONDITIONS / NO-GO
- It ends with one cheap 7-day test, with a numeric pass/fail line
No commands to learn. Just ask in plain words, in any language: "Is there demand for printable ADHD planners?" "Find me an untapped niche in AI tools for real estate agents." "Has this US trend reached Japan yet?"
Three modes
- Validate one idea → full scored report
- Discover → 5–10 candidate niches, then a full report on the best one
- Gap check → overseas trend vs. your home market, rated A–D
What's inside
- The workflow and rules
- Evidence label guide with source weighting
- 100-point scoring rubric
- Search playbook for each signal type
- Report template
- 2 real example reports (one of them says NO-GO — this skill will tell you not to build things)
Honest limits
- It is only as good as what your agent can access. Some sites block automated browsing; the skill says so instead of guessing.
- Works best when your agent has web search. No API keys, no scripts, no paid services.
- Scores are structured judgment, not a sales forecast. Not financial, legal or investment advice.
