competitor-positioning is a skill for Claude Code from Nimbleway/agent-skills. It costs 194 tokens per session (3,959 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow for comparing how competing companies present themselves online, including their messages, features, prices, blogs, and calls to action.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create competitor comparisons, messaging matrices, content-gap reviews, positioning-change reports, and battlecards.
Why use it?
It makes changes in competitors' public positioning easier to spot and compare over time.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Rogue Agent · line 29
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 102
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

competitor-positioning 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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 388 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Competitor Positioning

Marketing-focused competitive positioning analysis powered by Nimble's web data APIs. Built for marketing teams who need to understand how competitors present themselves — messaging, value props, content themes, pricing — and how that evolves over time.

The output is a marketing briefing, not a signal feed. Every insight should answer: "what does this mean for our messaging and positioning?"

User request: $ARGUMENTS

Argument parsing — determine what to do before running anything:

  • No arguments → run full workflow (scope confirmation in Step 2)
  • Competitor names (e.g., "Exa, Tavily") → research only those, skip scope confirmation
  • "battlecard [competitor]" → skip to Battlecard Generation (see below) using existing snapshots from memory
  • "delta" / "what changed" → force delta mode regardless of timing

Before running any commands, read references/nimble-playbook.md for Claude Code constraints (no shell state, no &/wait, sub-agent permissions, communication style).


Instructions

Step 0: Preflight

Follow the transport selection + standard preflight from references/nimble-playbook.md — pick CLI or MCP at session start, then run the standard preflight calls (date calc, today, profile, memory index) in parallel.

From the results:

  • CLI missing or API key unset → references/profile-and-onboarding.md, stop
  • Tag all nimble CLI calls: nimble --client-source nimble-agent-skills <subcommand>. MCP requests are attributed at the transport level — see references/nimble-playbook.md.
  • Profile exists → load prior data from two sources:
    • ~/.nimble/memory/positioning/*.md — prior positioning snapshots (used for delta detection in Steps 4 + 5)
    • ~/.nimble/memory/competitors/*.md — business signals from competitor-intel runs (provides context for why positioning may have shifted, e.g., a funding round or leadership change that preceded a messaging pivot) Determine mode:
    • Full snapshot: first run OR no prior positioning data OR last run > 14 days ago
    • Delta mode: last run < 14 days ago — only surface what changed
    • Same-day repeat: if last_runs.competitor-positioning is today, check for existing report at ~/.nimble/memory/reports/competitor-positioning-[today].md. If found, ask: "Already ran today. Run again for fresh data?" Don't silently re-run.
    • Skip to Step 2
  • No profile → Step 1

Changes

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.
