competitive-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from The-AI-Directory-Company/agents-and-skills. It costs 27 tokens per session (1,482 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured way to research competing products or services and compare how they are positioned. It considers direct competitors, indirect alternatives, features, strengths, weaknesses, and market opportunities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inform pricing, positioning, product planning, or go-to-market decisions by mapping the competitive landscape and finding gaps.
Why use it?
It helps teams make decisions using a consistent comparison instead of assumptions. It also reveals that alternatives can include manual work, spreadsheets, or doing nothing.

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-analysis 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 8d 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 — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Competitive Analysis

Before you start

Gather the following from the user:

  1. What is your product/service? (One-sentence description and primary value proposition)
  2. Who are your known competitors? (Direct and indirect — list at least 3)
  3. What market segment? (Enterprise, SMB, consumer, developer tools, etc.)
  4. What decision are you informing? (Pricing, positioning, feature roadmap, GTM strategy, fundraising)
  5. What data sources are available? (Public websites, G2/Capterra reviews, pricing pages, job postings, SEC filings)

If the user says "we have no competitors," push back: "Every product competes with something — even if it's spreadsheets, manual processes, or doing nothing. Who are customers using today to solve this problem?"

Competitor identification

Start by mapping the competitive landscape into three tiers.

| Tier     | Definition                                              | Example               |
|----------|--------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------|
| Direct   | Same problem, same customer segment, same approach     | Competitor A vs You   |
| Indirect | Same problem, different approach or different segment   | Spreadsheets, agencies|
| Adjacent | Different problem today, could expand into your space   | Platform with overlap |

List 3-5 direct competitors, 2-3 indirect, and 1-2 adjacent. For each, capture:

| Competitor     | Tier     | Founded | Funding/Revenue | HQ       | Est. Customers |
|---------------|----------|---------|-----------------|----------|----------------|
| Competitor A  | Direct   | 2019    | $50M Series B   | SF, USA  | ~5,000 SMBs    |
| Competitor B  | Direct   | 2017    | $120M ARR       | London   | ~2,000 Ent.    |
| Manual process| Indirect | N/A     | N/A             | N/A      | Everyone else  |

Feature comparison matrix

Compare features that matter for the purchase decision. Use a clear rating system.

Rating: Y = Yes | P = Partial | N = No | ? = Unknown

| Feature              | Your Product | Comp A | Comp B | Comp C |
|---------------------|-------------|--------|--------|--------|
| Core feature 1      | Y           | Y      | P      | N      |
| Core feature 2      | Y           | Y      | Y      | Y      |
| Integration X       | P           | Y      | N      | Y      |
| Self-serve onboard  | Y           | N      | Y      | N      |
| Enterprise SSO      | N           | Y      | Y      | Y      |
| API access          | Y           | Y      | P      | N      |

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.
