competitors

competitors is a skill for Claude Code from heyparsadev/claude-venture-plugin. It costs 119 tokens per session (1,225 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for researching competing products and turning the findings into comparisons, positioning maps, and battlecards. A battlecard is a short reference for explaining how a product differs from alternatives.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps map competitors, identify gaps, prepare sales or strategy battlecards, and record findings in a venture workspace.
Why use it?
It focuses competitor research on useful differentiation instead of collecting an unstructured list of companies.

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 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.

Competitor Analysis — Landscape, Matrix & Battlecards

Map who competes for the same customer money/attention, find the exploitable gaps, and arm the user (or their client) with battlecards. The deliverable is differentiation strategy, not a competitor encyclopedia.

Shared conventions (venture suite)

  • Workspace: locate ventures/ in the current working directory (ask once and create if missing). All outputs go to ventures/<slug>/<NN-module>/.
  • Templates are read-only. Files under a skill's references/ live inside the installed plugin and are shared by every venture. Never write to them. "Fill template X" always means: copy it into ventures/<slug>/<NN-module>/ under a dated name and fill the copy.
  • Read VENTURE.md first. When done: update its Status table and append key findings to "Key facts & numbers" (format: - [module, YYYY-MM-DD] finding (source, confidence)).
  • Language: converse in the user's language. Write formal deliverables (reports, canvases, battlecards) in the report_language set in VENTURE.md. Persian reports keep standard English business terms as-is (TAM, SAM, SOM, CAC, LTV, GTM, churn, retention...).
  • Research integrity: cite every external claim (source + date). Mark every estimate with confidence (high/med/low). Never fabricate numbers — write "no data found" instead.
  • Chain: end by updating VENTURE.md and suggesting the logical next module.

Workflow

1. Discover the landscape

  • Ask the user which competitors they already know (they always know some).
  • Search for more — including local-language queries for local markets («نرم‌افزار نوبت‌دهی مطب» finds Iranian competitors that English queries never will).
  • Crucially include non-obvious competition: indirect tools solving the same job differently, and the status quo (Excel, paper, a secretary, doing nothing). The status quo is usually the #1 competitor.
  • Categorize: direct / indirect / substitute (status quo).

2. Select targets with the user

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.
