# IBISWorld agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made IBISWorld playbooks for AI agents: profile a company against its industry with IBISWorld, build an industry market brief with IBISWorld AI. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use the IBISWorld connector well with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/ibisworld/skills/essentials.md): Sets up IBISWorld queries correctly, country, language and industry name first, then picks the right search tool for the question. Reports gaps honestly instead of filling them from memory.
- [Profile a company against its industry with IBISWorld](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/ibisworld/skills/company-competitor-profile.md): Builds a profile of one named company against its industry, separating reported figures from inference and checking the company name is the right entity. It asks you to confirm the entity first if the name is ambiguous.
- [Build an industry market brief with IBISWorld AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/ibisworld/skills/industry-market-research.md): Turns IBISWorld's industry, regional and operator-size data into one sourced market brief covering size, growth, drivers, competition and outlook. Every figure shows its source and period.

### What is a IBISWorld agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each IBISWorld skill describes one job, which IBISWorld tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the IBISWorld skills change anything on their own?

3 of the 3 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in IBISWorld.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect IBISWorld; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the IBISWorld MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the IBISWorld MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The IBISWorld MCP setup guide covers every client.
