competitors-analysis

competitors-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from daymade/claude-code-skills. It costs 111 tokens per session (1,907 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for studying competing products through their repositories and other evidence. It separates facts found in source code and commits from later judgments about positioning, pricing, strengths, and gaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding competitors, cloning or updating relevant repositories, comparing capabilities, tracking code changes, and building an evidence-based competitor landscape.
Why use it?
It makes competitor analysis traceable and reduces unsupported claims about what competing products do.

About the project

Claude Code Skills Marketplace is a collection and marketplace of skills, plugins, agents, and instructions that extend Claude Code with specialized development workflows. It is for developers who want to install existing workflows or create, validate, and package their own Claude Code skills.

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.

npx agentmods add skills/daymade/claude-code-skills/competitors-analysis
Any agent
npx skills add daymade/claude-code-skills --skill competitors-analysis
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Its marketplace also offers this one on its own, as the plugin competitors-analysis/plugin install competitors-analysis after adding the marketplace above.

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

competitors-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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/update-competitors.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 232 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Competitors Analysis

Build competitor intelligence that can be shared, re-run, and audited later. This skill has two layers:

  1. Repository evidence: clone or update the competitor code under the durable competitors workspace, then cite facts from actual files and commits.
  2. Landscape synthesis: summarize positioning, pricing, strengths, weaknesses, gaps, and opportunities, but only after separating sourced facts from judgment.

This skill intentionally subsumes lightweight "competitor scan" workflows. A scan is useful for the landscape table, but it is not enough for technical conclusions.

Entry Router

If the user's request is missing the product/market or target customer segment, ask for that context before synthesizing positioning or opportunity claims. Known competitors are optional; if absent, use Discover mode.

Use the user's wording to choose the path:

User intent Mode What to do
"find competitors", "竞品有哪些", broad market query Discover Search GitHub and web sources, shortlist candidates, clone only relevant repositories
"add competitor " Ingest Clone the repository, record remote + commit, then produce a first profile
"analyze competitor", "review this repo" Profile Update or clone locally, read code, write a cited technical profile
"compare", "landscape", "opportunities" Landscape Ensure each competitor has a profile, then synthesize gaps and opportunities
"latest code", "有没有更新" Update Pull/fetch existing competitors and report changed commits before analysis

Durable Source Layout

Use a durable workspace, not /tmp. The default base is:

COMPETITORS_BASE="${COMPETITORS_BASE:-$HOME/workspace/competitors}"

Directory convention:

$COMPETITORS_BASE/
└── {product-slug}/
    ├── {owner-repo}/
    └── ...

Use owner-repo for GitHub repositories so forks and similarly named projects do not collide. If the user's machine already has a product directory, use it as the source of truth and do not re-clone elsewhere.

Files

What ships with it

4 files 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.

Changes

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.

competitors-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository daymade/claude-code-skills (1,375 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 1,907 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
