competitive-analysis

competitive-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from liqiongyu/lenny_skills_plus. It costs 21 tokens per session (2,011 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured review of the other choices customers might make instead of using your product, including direct competitors, indirect competitors, workarounds, and doing nothing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to understand lost deals, clarify how your product differs, create sales battlecards, form positioning ideas, and plan how to monitor competitors. It does not provide confidential or non-public competitor information.
Why use it?
It prevents competitor research from becoming just a list of company names. It connects alternatives to customer decision criteria and turns the findings into practical guidance.

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 12d 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 Analysis

Scope

Covers

  • Mapping competitive alternatives (status quo, workarounds, analog/non-consumption, direct + indirect competitors)
  • Building a competitor landscape grounded in customer decision criteria
  • Turning analysis into actionable artifacts: positioning hypotheses, win themes, battlecards, and a monitoring plan

When to use

  • “Do a competitive analysis / competitor landscape for our product.”
  • “Why are we losing deals to ?”
  • “What are the real alternatives if we didn’t exist?”
  • “Help us differentiate and position vs competitors.”
  • “Create sales battlecards and win/loss takeaways.”

When NOT to use

  • You need market sizing / TAM/SAM/SOM as the primary output (different workflow).
  • You don’t know the target customer, core use case, or the decision this analysis should support (use problem-definition first).
  • You only need a quick list of competitors (no synthesis, no artifacts).
  • You’re seeking confidential or non-public competitor information (do not attempt).
  • You need to write positioning copy, messaging frameworks, or landing page text (use positioning-messaging after this skill provides differentiation hypotheses).
  • You need to set or change your pricing model based on competitive data (use pricing-strategy; feed it the comparison matrix from this skill).
  • You’re evaluating a specific technology vendor for adoption (use evaluating-new-technology).

Inputs

Minimum required

  • Product + target customer segment + core use case (what job is being done)
  • The decision to support (e.g., positioning, sales enablement, roadmap bets, pricing, market entry)
  • 3–10 known competitors/alternatives (or “unknown—please map them”)
  • Any available evidence (links, win/loss notes, call transcripts, customer quotes, pricing pages, reviews)
  • Constraints: geography, ICP, price band, compliance/regulation (if relevant), time box

Missing-info strategy

  • Ask up to 5 questions from references/INTAKE.md.
  • If answers aren’t available, proceed with explicit assumptions and label unknowns. Provide 2–3 plausible alternative scopes (narrow vs broad).

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.
