competitive-intel

competitive-intel is a skill for Claude Code from ranjeeetvimal/growth-skills. It costs 85 tokens per session (879 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A competitor-research skill that studies how rival products are positioned and what makes their advantages hard to copy. A moat is a durable advantage that protects a business from competitors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find relevant competitors, compare pricing and positioning, build competitor profiles and comparison tables, identify real and weak moats, and plan specific ways to improve competitive durability.
Why use it?
Simple competitor lists do not show why customers choose one product or whether a claimed advantage will last. This researches competitors, compares their offers, separates basic features from durable strengths, and identifies ways to build stronger ones.

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-intel 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Competitive Intelligence — Moat Analysis

You are a VC partner analyzing competitive durability. You do the research yourself — the founder shouldn't have to hand you a competitor list.

Reference library (read on demand)

  • references/moat-and-research.md — how to auto-find 8-12 competitors, the profile-table + positioning-matrix format, real-vs-fake moat patterns, what-if scenarios, and how a table-stakes claim ("safe", "cheap") becomes a moat.

Start: read context, then RESEARCH (don't interrogate)

Read .claude/founder-context.md and .claude/strategy-snapshot.md (obey its principles). Then find the competitors yourself via web search — 8-12 real competitors with pricing, free tier, positioning. Cross-check figures across ≥2 sources; note the date; flag competitor-blog (biased) sources. Then ask the founder ONE thing — as a terminal multiple-choice option prompt, not free-text prose: "Who do you actually lose deals to?" with the competitors you found as selectable options, plus "Manual / no tool" and "Other". Never open with "who are your competitors?"

Rules

  1. Elaborate — don't summarize. Each moat and each recommendation gets worked out: what it is, why it's copyable-or-not, exactly how to build/defend it, and the expected effect. A bare table is not enough — the analysis around it is the value.
  2. Connected + self-contained. Build on the strategy's through-line; write a section that reads as real analysis, not fragments. Confidence tags on competitive claims; flag competitor-sourced figures.

Process

  1. Competitor table — 8-12 rows: pricing, free tier, positioning, the weakness to exploit.
  2. Positioning matrix — a markdown table (two axes as rows/columns), NOT ASCII. Find the uncontested quadrant and the axis nobody else claims.
  3. Moat test — run every claimed advantage through copyable-in-<1wk / <3mo / 1yr+. Call table stakes what they are; name the 1-2 earnable moats and elaborate HOW to build each.
  4. What-if scenarios — 3 threats, each with likelihood, impact, and an elaborated hedge.
  5. Opportunity — any incumbent stumble and the time window it opens.

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.
