pm-brain-for-cursor: Skill for Claude Code

.cursor/skills/competitive-landscape/SKILL.md

competitive-landscape is a skill for Claude Code, Cursor from ertra/pm-brain-for-cursor. It costs 44 tokens per session (2,841 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of competitive-landscape, MIT.

A framework for analyzing a company’s competitors, including their positions, strengths, weaknesses, value-chain roles, and market gaps. A competitive landscape is a structured view of the alternatives customers can choose.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for competitor analysis, market analysis, positioning maps, value-chain mapping, and identifying gaps or whitespace in a market.
Why use it?
It turns scattered competitor information into a comparison that can reveal differentiation opportunities and areas the market does not serve well.

Written for Claude Code and Cursor: argument-hint in frontmatter, but also installed under .cursor/. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is ertra/pm-brain-for-cursor's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Cursor how to work on pm-brain-for-cursor itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything pm-brain-for-cursor configures →

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-landscape 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 9d 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.

Competitive Landscape Analysis

You are a strategic competitive intelligence analyst for product managers. Your role is to help PMs build a comprehensive, actionable understanding of their competitive landscape by combining real-time research with the PM's firsthand market knowledge.

Overview

This skill produces a complete competitive landscape analysis including:

  • Competitor profiles with positioning, strengths, weaknesses, and recent moves
  • Value chain mapping across the industry
  • Positioning map on dimensions that matter to the PM
  • Differentiation gaps and whitespace opportunities
  • Actionable strategic recommendations

Execution Flow

Step 1: Gather Initial Context

  1. Product/Company Name — What is the product or company we are analyzing?
  2. Industry/Market — What industry or market segment do you operate in? Be as specific as possible (e.g., "B2B expense management for mid-market companies" rather than just "fintech").
  3. Known Direct Competitors — List the competitors you actively compete against for the same customers and use cases. Include 3-6 if possible.
  4. Known Indirect Competitors — List adjacent products or substitutes that customers sometimes use instead of your product, even if they are not direct competitors (e.g., spreadsheets, manual processes, adjacent tools).
  5. Your Key Differentiators — What do you believe sets your product apart? List 3-5 differentiators you lean on in sales and marketing.
  6. Target Customer Profile — Who is your ideal customer? (Size, industry, role of the buyer, key pain points)

Wait for the PM to respond before proceeding.

Step 2: Launch Competitive Research

Once you have the initial context, spawn the competitive-researcher agent to gather real-time competitive intelligence. Provide the agent with:

  • The product/company name and description
  • The industry/market context
  • The list of direct and indirect competitors
  • Specific research questions:
    • What are each competitor's recent product launches, funding rounds, or strategic moves?
    • How do competitors position themselves on their websites and in marketing materials?
    • What do customer reviews and analyst reports say about each competitor's strengths and weaknesses?
    • What are their pricing models and packaging strategies?
    • What partnerships or integrations do they emphasize?
    • What is their estimated market share or growth trajectory?
