Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00039 | $0.00888 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00444 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00178 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00089 |
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 10d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to competitive-analysis — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Competitive Analysis
Help the user understand competitive dynamics using frameworks from 49 product leaders who have navigated competition at companies from startups to Netflix and Google.
How to Help
When the user asks for help with competitive analysis:
- Expand the competitive set - Identify not just direct competitors but the status quo and workarounds
- Understand the true threat - Determine if the competition is features, distribution, or fundamental business model
- Find asymmetries - Help them identify unique advantages competitors cannot easily copy
- Design the right response - Balance competitive awareness with customer obsession
Core Principles
Compete against the status quo
April Dunford: "Most folks will discount the status quo, but they shouldn't because in B2B we lose about 40% of our deals to 'no decision,' which actually means we lost to the spreadsheet, we lost to pen and paper." Position specifically against current workarounds, not just competitors.
Define competitive alternatives first
April Dunford: "The first step in a good positioning exercise is to really understand, what do we have to position against? What do I have to beat in order to win a deal?" Look beyond direct competitors to anything customers would do if your product didn't exist.
Understand industry economics deeply
Hamilton Helmer: "Understanding whether or not there is a type of power in place is hard... the hard part is industry economics, what really are the economic relationships." Surface-level competitive analysis misses the structural forces that determine winners.
Ground everything in external reality
Shaun Clowes: "In everything always talk from the customer's perspective, from the market's perspective, from the competitor's perspective. The very small number of PMs do that." Great PMs differentiate by grounding work in market realities, not internal politics.
Include the analog alternative
Bret Taylor: "Why use this instead of Yahoo Yellow Pages? But more than anything else, why use this instead of the Yellow Pages?" Compete against the traditional, non-digital way users solve the problem.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

competitive-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository cnfeat/top-pm-skills (48 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 888 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to competitive-analysis, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
