Given a product description, category keywords, or competitor names (any combination), searches Reddit, Hacker News, GitHub Issues, G2, and Google Trends for the real pains your market experiences, then synthesizes everything into a positioning framework showing who your ICP is, what they say out loud, and exactly how to talk to them. Use when asked to understand a market, find ICP pain points, map competitors, build a positioning doc, find messaging angles, or answer who is my customer and what do they actually care about. Trigger when a user says map my market, who is my ICP, what pains does my market have, understand my market, find my target customer, what are the top complaints in X space, help me position my product, or who should I be selling to.

Take a product description, category keywords, or competitor names. Search Reddit, HN, GitHub Issues, G2, and Google Trends for real pain signals. Score and cluster them. Build a complete positioning framework: ICP definition, ranked pain themes with verbatim quotes, market size signals, and messaging angles derived from actual language people use.
