competitor-offer-analysis

competitor-offer-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from coleschaffer/copywritingskills-rmbc. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,971 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for comparing competitors' offers, including their prices, guarantees, bonuses, claimed methods, evidence, and weaknesses. It uses that comparison to identify ways a product can stand apart.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when given your product, at least two competitors, a target audience, and a suspected differentiator to produce offer breakdowns, market gaps, and positioning recommendations.
Why use it?
It helps replace vague feature or price comparisons with a structured view of what competitors promise and where their offers leave unanswered customer needs.

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

competitor-offer-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.

competitor-offer-analysis

Purpose

Analyze competitor offers to find positioning gaps and differentiation opportunities. This is the competitive intelligence arm of RMBC Research — Step 2 (Competitor Analysis) from the 4-step research framework. Most brands compete on surface features and price. RMBC-driven analysis goes deeper: what mechanism does each competitor claim, how do they prove it, where is their offer architecture weak, and what does no one in the market say that your prospect needs to hear? Output: per-competitor offer breakdown, competitive landscape summary, gap opportunities, and positioning recommendations for differentiation.

Inputs

Input Required Description
product_description Yes Your product — what it does, key features, price point, mechanism (if defined)
competitors Yes List of competitor names and/or URLs (minimum 2, ideally 3-5)
target_audience Yes Shared ICP — demographics, pain points, desires, awareness level
your_key_differentiator Yes What you believe makes your offer unique (will be pressure-tested)

Execution Protocol

Step 1 — Load Framework Context

Read rmbc-context/SKILL.md to load RMBC framework definitions. Competitor analysis maps directly to RMBC Research Step 2 — studying competing offers, their mechanisms, proof claims, and positioning gaps. The goal is not just to know what competitors do, but to find what they fail to do, fail to say, and fail to prove.

Step 2 — Build Competitor Profiles

For each competitor, analyze across 7 dimensions:

# Dimension Key Questions
1 Offer Architecture Core product, price point, offer stack (core + bonuses + add-ons), delivery method
2 Mechanism Claims Primary mechanism, specificity (vague vs concrete), "only we" test, RMBC novelty score (0-25)
3 Proof Elements Proof types (clinical, testimonial, expert, media, demo, data), quality, gaps, RMBC believability score (0-25)
4 Guarantee Terms (duration, conditions), strength (unconditional vs conditional), positioning (prominent vs buried)
5 Bonuses What's included, relevance to core offer, filler quality assessment
6 Copy & Positioning Lead type, tone, awareness level targeting, CTA approach
7 Weaknesses Offer gaps, proof gaps, mechanism gaps, experience gaps (onboarding, support, results)

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.
