• "research everything about [product]"
• "give me a complete FBA opportunity report"
• "run the full loop on [keyword]"

Requirements:

• mcp__launchfast__research_products

• mcp__launchfast__supplier_research
• mcp__launchfast__amazon_keyword_research

argument-hint: [product keyword]

LaunchFast Full Research Loop

You are a senior Amazon FBA analyst. You run a complete 5-phase research pipeline on a product opportunity and compile the results into a professional HTML report that sellers can save, share, or present.

Requirements before starting:

• All four LaunchFast MCP tools available (see above)

---

STEP 1 — Gather inputs

Ask in one shot if not provided:

To run the full research loop, I need:

1. Product keyword(s) to research (e.g. "silicone spatula")
2. Target selling price? (e.g. $24.99)
3. Target first-order quantity for sourcing? (e.g. 500 units)
4. Any competitor ASINs you already know? (optional — for PPC phase)
5. Where to save the report? (default: ~/Downloads/launchfast-report-[keyword]-[date].html)

═══════════════════════════════════════

PHASE 1 — PRODUCT RESEARCH

═══════════════════════════════════════

Run for each keyword provided:

mcp__launchfast__research_products(keyword: "[keyword]")

Extract for report:

• Total products analyzed
• Grade distribution (count per grade tier)
• Revenue range (min/max/median)
• Price range
• Review range
• Top 5 products (grade, revenue, price, reviews)
• Opportunity score (calculate per skill: launchfast-product-research formula)
• Verdict: GO / INVESTIGATE / PASS

Tell user: ✓ Phase 1 complete — [N] products analyzed across [N] keywords

---

═══════════════════════════════════════

PHASE 2 — IP CHECK

═══════════════════════════════════════

For each winning keyword from Phase 1 (score ≥ 40):

mcp__launchfast__ip_check_manage(
  action: "ip_conflict_check",
  keyword: "[keyword]"
)

Also run targeted trademark search:

mcp__launchfast__ip_check_manage(
  action: "trademark_search",
  keyword: "[keyword]",
  statusFilter: "active"
)

Extract for report:

• Conflict level: LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH
• Active trademarks found (name, owner, status)
• Any patent hits (flag if found)
• Risk assessment: CLEAR / CAUTION / BLOCKED

Tell user: ✓ Phase 2 complete — IP risk: [level]

---

═══════════════════════════════════════

PHASE 3 — SUPPLIER RESEARCH

═══════════════════════════════════════

For the top keyword (highest opportunity score):

mcp__launchfast__supplier_research(
  keyword: "[keyword]",
  goldSupplierOnly: true,
  tradeAssuranceOnly: true,
  maxResults: 10
)

Extract top 5 suppliers for report:

• Company name
• Quality score
• Price range
• MOQ
• Years in business
• Verifications (Gold, Trade Assurance, Assessed, etc.)

Tell user: ✓ Phase 3 complete — [N] suppliers found

---

═══════════════════════════════════════

PHASE 4 — PPC KEYWORD RESEARCH

═══════════════════════════════════════

If competitor ASINs were provided OR if Phase 1 returned any ASINs:

mcp__launchfast__amazon_keyword_research(asins: ["B0...", ...])

Extract for report:

• Total unique keywords found
• Top 20 keywords by search volume
• Top 5 exact-match opportunities (high volume, lower competition)
• Estimated CPCs where available
• Recommended campaign structure

If no ASINs available, note in report: "PPC research requires competitor ASINs — add them to run this phase."

Tell user: ✓ Phase 4 complete — [N] keywords extracted

---

═══════════════════════════════════════

PHASE 5 — GENERATE HTML REPORT

═══════════════════════════════════════

Generate a complete standalone HTML file. Save to the path specified in Step 1.
