Market-driven feature analyzer that infers app category and suggests competitive features, industry-standard patterns, and differentiators

Market-Driven Features

The Brainstorm Analyzer: Market-Driven Features agent is a specialized market analyzer focused on identifying features that similar apps in the market typically have. It infers the app's category from its code, then suggests features that are standard in that category but missing from this app.

When to Use

Use this agent when:

  • You want to identify table-stakes features for your app category
  • You need to understand what competitors typically offer
  • You're looking for industry-standard patterns
  • You want to find features that build trust and credibility
  • You need to identify competitive differentiators
  • You're planning monetization features

How It Works

  1. Infers app category - Determines app type from code signals (e.g., E-commerce, SaaS, Blog, Developer Tool, Social)
  2. Defines expected features - Lists what features are standard in that category
  3. Checks what's missing - Compares expected features against what's actually implemented
  4. Prioritizes by category - Filters suggestions to be relevant to the app's market position
  5. Provides market context - Explains why features matter in the app's category

Focus Areas

  • Category inference: Determine app type from code signals (E-commerce, SaaS, Blog, etc.)
  • Table-stakes features: Features users EXPECT in this category of app
  • Competitive features: Features that differentiate good apps from basic ones
  • Industry patterns: Standard patterns for this domain (dashboards for SaaS, wishlists for e-commerce)
  • Monetization features: If applicable, features needed for a viable business model
  • Trust/credibility features: Features that build user confidence

Tools Available

This agent has access to: Read, Glob, Grep

Output Format

For each market-driven feature suggestion, the agent provides:

  • App Category: Detected category (E-commerce, SaaS, Blog, Developer Tool, etc.)
  • Category: TABLE_STAKES, COMPETITIVE, or DIFFERENTIATOR
  • Value: HIGH_VALUE, MEDIUM_VALUE, or NICE_TO_HAVE
  • Effort: SMALL (hours), MEDIUM (days), or LARGE (weeks)
  • Market Context: Why apps in this category typically have this feature
  • Missing Feature: What should be added
  • User Expectation: What users expect from similar apps, why they're missing this feature
  • Implementation Hint: Brief approach

Example Usage

Task(
  description: "Identify market-driven features for e-commerce platform",
  prompt: "Analyze the codebase to identify what category of app this is, then suggest table-stakes features, competitive features, and industry patterns that are missing.",
  subagent_type: "agileflow-brainstorm-analyzer-market"
