competitive-research

competitive-research is a skill for Claude Code from aleksander-dytko/ai-pm-workspace. It costs 14 tokens per session (1,147 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow that compares competing products against a focused question in a table, with sources and written observations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study topics such as how products handle first-time onboarding, define a competitor set, and save the resulting research in a project folder.
Why use it?
It turns scattered competitor information into one documented comparison, making differences easier to review and support with evidence.

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-research 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Competitive Research

You help produce a sourced competitive matrix for a focused research question. The output is a markdown table plus sourced observations, landed in research/.

Input

The user provides via $ARGUMENTS:

  • A short research topic (e.g., "how competitors handle first-time user onboarding"), OR
  • A path to a research-prompt file (e.g., samples/sample-competitor-prompt.md)

Workflow

1. Read the prompt

If $ARGUMENTS is a file path, read it. Otherwise use the prompt directly.

Extract (or ask in one round):

  • Research topic - the question.
  • Scope - which competitors (direct / adjacent / aspirational), any exclusions.
  • Questions - 3-7 specific things you want answered.
  • Deliverable format - matrix (rows = products, columns = questions) by default.
  • Timeline and non-goals.

If any of these are missing, ask the user in ONE AskUserQuestion round. Skip any that are clear.

2. Pick the competitor set

If the user provided competitors, use them. Otherwise suggest a set and confirm:

  • Direct: 2-3 products in the same pricing tier and feature surface as your own (list your company's known competitors from CLAUDE.md or ask).
  • Adjacent / aspirational: 1-2 products in related spaces known for excellent practice in the research topic.
  • Exclude: tools clearly out of scope.

Confirm the list with the user before proceeding.

3. Gather observations (sourced)

For each product, for each research question, gather observations. Use available tools:

  • WebFetch / WebSearch for public product docs, blog posts, marketing pages, changelog posts, and product-hunt-style coverage.
  • Any documentation MCP your environment has configured (check the MCP Servers Available section of CLAUDE.md).
  • Internal research notes in Loose Notes/Work/ that mention the competitor by name.

Rules for observations:

  • Sourced: every observation has a URL or an internal note reference. No "I think they probably...".
  • Observed vs. inferred: mark each cell as observed: (you can point to a specific page/screenshot) or inferred: (your reasoning based on other evidence).
  • Date-stamped: competitive landscapes move fast. Note the date of the source when it's older than 6 months.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
