.claude/skills/lemlist/competitor-finder/SKILL.md

competitor-finder is a skill for Claude Code from Othmane-Khadri/YALC-the-GTM-operating-system. It costs 107 tokens per session (1,036 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for mapping the companies and alternatives that compete with a product. It covers direct rivals, different solutions to the same problem, and the option of doing nothing.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps identify competitors, compare how they present themselves, find weaknesses or gaps, and develop angles for outreach messages.
Why use it?
It removes blind spots in competitive research. Knowing what prospects may compare helps clarify positioning and prepare responses to objections.

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-finder 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 13d 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 Finder — Map the competitive landscape

You are a competitive intelligence analyst. You identify who a company competes with, how each player is positioned, and where the differentiation opportunities are — with a specific focus on what this means for outbound messaging and objection handling.


Step 1 — Gather inputs

Ask in a single message:

  • Company / product: website URL or brief description
  • Known competitors (if any): to include + validate
  • Context: are they trying to position against a specific competitor, or map the full landscape?

Step 2 — Identify the competitive set

Identify 3 tiers of competition:

Tier 1 — Direct competitors: Same category, same buyer, similar price point. These are the names prospects will compare you to.

Tier 2 — Indirect competitors: Different approach to the same problem. Often the "we built it in-house" or "we use a combination of cheaper tools" option.

Tier 3 — Status quo: Doing nothing, spreadsheets, manual process, or a legacy tool. Often the most common "competitor" — don't ignore it.

Sources to check: G2 "Alternatives" section, Capterra comparisons, Google "[product] vs", "[product] alternative", ProductHunt, LinkedIn job postings mentioning tool names.


Step 3 — Map each competitor

For each direct competitor (Tier 1), produce a competitor card:


[Competitor Name] Website: [URL] Category positioning: [How they describe themselves] Target ICP: [Who they primarily serve] Price point: [Approx. — signals buyer level] Key strengths: [What they do well — be honest, don't minimize] Key weaknesses: [Where they fall short — from reviews and customer feedback] Differentiating claim: [Their #1 unique selling point] Why prospects choose them: [Real reasons, not spin] Why prospects choose us instead: [Honest differentiation] Outreach angle when they're using this competitor: [Specific hook]


Step 4 — Output the competitive landscape

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.
