analyze-competitor

analyze-competitor is a skill for Claude Code from samkawsarani/sams-product-plugins. It costs 79 tokens per session (1,894 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research guide for studying one or more competing products, including their features, prices, customers, strengths, gaps, and market position. It can combine existing project information, optional Notion research, web sources, and user-provided material.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for competitor deep dives, pricing research, feature comparisons, customer analysis, and market-position reviews. It can also create a written competitor comparison file.
Why use it?
It removes the need to gather competitor information in an unstructured way. It organizes findings into a comparison report and can compare several competitors using a table.

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

analyze-competitor 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.

Dependency Check

  1. Notion MCP (optional): Check if Notion:notion-search is available in your tools list.
    • If available: Use it to search for internal competitor research.
    • If missing: Skip Notion search and proceed with other sources.

Competitor Analysis Skill

Perform comprehensive competitive analysis of a single competitor, gathering intelligence from multiple sources to create a structured research report.

This skill analyzes ONE competitor at a time. For analyzing multiple competitors in parallel, pass multiple competitor names.

Output: Structured markdown report saved to competitor-[NAME]-comparison.md (or user-specified location)

Data sources (in priority order):

  1. Project files (existing research, transcripts, context files)
  2. Notion workspace (if MCP available)
  3. Web search (pricing pages, reviews, testimonials)
  4. User-provided sources

Workflow

Step 1: Understand the Request

Gather essential information:

Required:

  • Competitor name
  • Website URL (or prompt user if not provided)

Optional:

  • Our product context (look for a product context file)
  • Specific focus areas (e.g., "focus on pricing" or "analyze their enterprise features")
  • Output location (default: competitor-[name]-comparison.md)

If a product context file exists: Read it to understand our product for comparison purposes.


Step 2: Gather Information (Multi-Source Strategy)

Follow this prioritized approach to gather comprehensive competitive intelligence:

Source 1: Project Files (Check First)
  • Search for existing research mentioning the competitor
  • Search for transcripts or notes mentioning the competitor
  • Use Read to load any existing research notes found
  • Why first: Existing internal research is most reliable and contextual
Source 2: Notion Workspace (If Available)
  • Check if Notion MCP tools are available
  • Use Notion:notion-search with queries like:
    • [Competitor Name]
    • [Competitor Name] pricing
    • [Competitor Name] features
    • [Competitor Name] customers
  • Use Notion:notion-fetch to retrieve relevant pages
  • Why second: Internal research may contain analysis and context

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.
