competitive-analysis

A structured method for comparing competitors, their features, prices, market positions, strengths, and weaknesses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build comparison tables, SWOT analyses, positioning maps, sales battlecards, and recommendations for product or market strategy.
Why use it?
It turns scattered impressions about competing products into conclusions supported by organized evidence.

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-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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/compare_matrix.py), 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.

Competitive Analysis

Overview

Keywords: competitive analysis, competitor research, market positioning, SWOT, feature comparison, pricing analysis, battlecard, differentiation, market gap, positioning map, win/loss, moat, go-to-market.

This skill turns scattered impressions about "the competition" into a rigorous, decision-grade analysis. It covers the full arc: define scope, identify the right competitors, collect structured evidence, build comparison matrices, derive positioning, and produce concrete recommendations (where to compete, how to differentiate, what to fix).

Use it for product strategy, sales enablement (battlecards), fundraising decks, market-entry decisions, and quarterly competitive reviews. The goal is always a defensible conclusion backed by a traceable evidence trail — not vibes.

Bundled resources:

  • references/frameworks.md — Porter's Five Forces, SWOT, positioning maps, JTBD, value-curve, perceptual mapping, moat taxonomy, with when-to-use guidance.
  • references/data-sources.md — where to find legitimate competitive intel, and the ethics/legal guardrails.
  • scripts/compare_matrix.py — stdlib-only tool that ingests a competitor JSON/CSV and emits a weighted scored comparison matrix in Markdown.
  • templates/competitive-analysis-report.md — fill-in report template.
  • templates/battlecard.md — one-page sales battlecard template.
  • examples/saas-pm-tool-analysis.md — a complete worked example.

Workflow

Follow these steps in order. Do not skip scoping — most weak analyses fail because the question was never sharpened.

  1. Scope the question. Pin down the decision the analysis must serve (e.g., "Should we move upmarket?", "What do we say when a prospect mentions Asana?"). Write a one-sentence objective and name the audience (product, sales, exec, investor). The objective dictates which framework and depth you use.

  2. Define the market and segment. State the category, the buyer, the geography, and the job-to-be-done. Ambiguity here makes every comparison apples-to-oranges. Capture this as the "Market Definition" block.

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.

competitive-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository JayRHa/AgentSkills (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 1,810 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
