competitive-moat-analysis

competitive-moat-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from event4u-app/agent-config. It costs 47 tokens per session (2,411 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A strategy guide for mapping competitors, judging how a business stays difficult to copy, and finding parts of a market where no strong competitor operates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for competitor maps, market-entry decisions, identifying open opportunities, and testing claims that a business has a lasting competitive advantage.
Why use it?
It helps replace a simple feature comparison with a clearer view of where each company is strong, where your business can win, and what could weaken its advantage.

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-moat-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 8d 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-moat-analysis

When to use

  • A strategist needs a competitor map for a market / segment — not a feature-comparison sheet, but a where-they-are-strong / where-we-are-strong / where-no-one-is read.
  • A board pack or fundraise narrative claims a moat; the question is which moat, how durable, and what would erode it.
  • A market-entry decision needs white-space identification — where can we win cleanly because incumbents structurally can't follow?

Do NOT use for narrative / messaging surface (route to Wing-3 positioning-strategy for the outward-facing pitch; this skill produces the internal cognition that pitch rests on), per-package adoption comparisons (route to competitive-positioning (Wing-1 package-peer comparison)), or build-vs-buy decisions (route to build-buy-partner (P1)).

Cognition cluster

  • Mental model 18 — Where to play, where not to play. A moat is read as much from what we refuse to do as from what we do. Trying to win everywhere = winning nowhere. See mental-models.md § 18.
  • Mental model 28 — Inversion. "What would force a customer to leave us for an incumbent?" The inversion answer surfaces the load-bearing moat assumption. If the answer is "nothing", the moat is wishful; if the answer is concrete, that's the real fragility. See mental-models.md § 28.
  • Mental model 21 — Second-order thinking. Moats compound or decay; "feature parity today" says nothing about "feature parity in 18 months". Read each moat by its compounding rate, not its current state. See mental-models.md § 21.
  • Context-spine — customer-segment + product + org-stage. Read customer-segment for which incumbent matters in which segment (the enterprise incumbent is rarely the SMB incumbent). Read product for which moats are real vs roadmap. Read org-stage for moat realism (pre-revenue moats are claims; growth-stage moats are evidence).

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.
