## 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**: 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**: 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 follows 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.
