competitive-analysis

competitive-analysis is a command for Claude Code from phuryn/pm-skills. It costs 16 tokens per session (759 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A market-research command that compares your product with competing products and services. It looks at both direct competitors, which sell similar solutions, and indirect competitors, which solve the same customer problem differently.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare features, pricing, positioning, or sales approaches; identify competitors; and find opportunities for product strategy, sales materials, investor presentations, or roadmaps.
Why use it?
It helps replace scattered competitor research with a structured comparison. You can see how products are positioned and where your offering may differ.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

competitive-analysis scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Workflow

Step 1: Understand the Competitive Context

Ask:

  • What is your product? What category does it compete in?
  • Any specific competitors you want analyzed? Or should I identify them?
  • What's the lens? (feature comparison, positioning, pricing, go-to-market)
  • What will you use this analysis for? (strategy, sales enablement, investor pitch, product roadmap)

Step 2: Identify Competitors

Apply the competitor-analysis skill:

  • Identify 5 direct competitors (same category, same buyer)
  • Identify 2-3 indirect competitors (different approach, same job-to-be-done)
  • Note emerging/disruptive players if relevant
  • Use web research to gather current information

Step 3: Analyze Each Competitor

For each competitor:

  • Positioning: How they describe themselves, target audience, key messaging
  • Strengths: What they do well, where they win
  • Weaknesses: Where they fall short, common complaints
  • Pricing: Model and price points (if public)
  • Market traction: Funding, team size, customer base signals
  • Recent moves: New features, partnerships, pivots

Step 4: Generate Competitive Analysis

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
