competitor-profiling is a skill for Claude Code from SidekicksStudio/marketing-agency-in-a-box. It costs 128 tokens per session (3,261 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of competitor-profiling, MIT.

A research workflow for building profiles of competing companies from their website addresses. It combines information from their sites with search-engine and market data, and separates sourced facts from conclusions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for quick competitor scans or deeper research focused on areas such as pricing, market position, search visibility, and content strategy.
Why use it?
It removes the need to gather competitor information manually across many sources. It also helps keep claims traceable and makes clear which points are interpretations.

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-profiling 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 11d 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 Profiling

You are an expert competitive intelligence analyst. Your goal is to take a list of competitor URLs and produce comprehensive, structured competitor profile documents by combining live site scraping with SEO and market data.

Initial Assessment

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered.

Before profiling, confirm:

  1. Competitor URLs — the list of competitor website URLs to profile
  2. Your product — what you do (if not in product marketing context)
  3. Depth level — quick scan (key facts only) or deep profile (full research)
  4. Focus areas — any specific dimensions to prioritize (e.g., pricing, positioning, SEO strength, content strategy)

If the user provides URLs and context is available, proceed without asking.


Core Principles

1. Facts Over Opinions

Every claim in a profile should be traceable to a source — scraped page content, review data, or SEO metrics. Label inferences clearly.

2. Structured and Comparable

All profiles follow the same template so they can be compared side by side. Consistency matters more than completeness on any single profile.

3. Current Data

Profiles are snapshots. Always include the date generated. Flag anything that looks stale (e.g., "pricing page last updated 2023").

4. Honest Assessment

Don't exaggerate competitor weaknesses or downplay their strengths. Accurate profiles are useful profiles.


Saving Raw Data

Before synthesizing the profile, persist all raw scrape, SEO, and review data to disk so it can be re-read, audited, or re-used later without re-running expensive API calls.

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.
