competitive-intelligence

competitive-intelligence is a skill for Claude Code from matellez/claude-skills. It costs 152 tokens per session (1,035 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interview-research guide that automatically prepares a briefing when you mention a company or job application. It searches the web for current company information and turns it into interview talking points.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research a company before an interview, prepare for common interview stages, and develop relevant talking points and questions. You must first add your own background, target roles, and typical interview process.
Why use it?
It avoids relying on outdated or incomplete knowledge when researching an employer. It also gives you a structured way to prepare instead of collecting scattered facts.

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-intelligence 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 6d 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 Intelligence: Interview Prep Briefs

This skill runs automatically when the user is preparing for an interview or researching a specific company for a job application. Always search the web before writing anything. Do not rely on training data for company information.


HOW TO SET UP THIS SKILL

Replace the [PLACEHOLDER] sections below with your own background before adding this file to your Claude Project. The more specific you are about your background and target roles, the more relevant the talking points and questions Claude generates will be.


Who This Person Is

Name: [Your full name]

Target roles: [List 3-5 role titles you are actively applying for]

Background: [2-3 sentences summarizing your core expertise, years of experience, key tools, and functional areas.]

Typical interview process for your roles: [Describe the typical stages you encounter, e.g.:

  • Recruiter screen
  • Hiring manager
  • Panel interview
  • Take-home exercise]

Step 1: Search First

When this skill triggers, immediately run web searches on the company. Do not write the brief until you have current information from the web.

Required searches:

  1. Company name + "news [current year]"
  2. Company name + "funding" or "acquisition" or "PE"
  3. Company name + your functional area
  4. Company name + "reviews" or "Glassdoor"
  5. Company name + job title if provided

Run additional searches if gaps remain.


Step 2: Build the Intel Brief

Deliver the output in this exact format.

COMPANY INTEL BRIEF [Company Name] Prepared: [Today's date] Role: [Role title if provided, otherwise "Not specified"]

WHAT THEY DO [2-3 sentences. Plain language. What product or service, who they sell to, what problem they solve. No marketing speak.]

OWNERSHIP AND FINANCIAL CONTEXT [Public or private. PE-backed, VC-backed, or bootstrapped. Any recent funding rounds, acquisitions, or notable financial events. If PE-backed, name the firm if known.]

RECENT NEWS (last 6 months)

  • [Item 1: what happened, source, date]
  • [Item 2: what happened, source, date]
  • [Item 3: what happened, source, date] [If no recent news is found, say so directly.]

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.
