build-competitive-brief is a skill for Codex from XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-Code. It costs 61 tokens per session (3,373 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for comparing competitors or vendors using supplied documents, internal feedback, customer conversations, and public information when appropriate. It separates confirmed facts from reported opinions and conclusions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a competitor comparison, sales battlecard, objection response, market overview, positioning brief, or account-specific view of competing products.
Why use it?
It helps create a reliable comparison without presenting guesses or sales impressions as proven facts.

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: reads ~/.codex paths; mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is {Follow the instructions and output format/conditions in [Limitations and Improvements](../index/SKILL.md#limitations-and-improvements)}.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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

build-competitive-brief 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 1mo 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 — 237 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Build Competitive Brief

Create a seller-ready competitive brief that separates verified facts from field signal and inference. Default to a self-contained HTML artifact plus a concise chat readout; use chat or Markdown only when the user explicitly asks for it. This skill owns research, synthesis, and the brief artifact, not external posting or CRM writes.

Common Skill Instructions

MANDATORY: If not already in context, read and adhere closely to plugins/sales/skills/index/SKILL.md## Cross-Skill Best Practices.

Key Dependency Categories

Use the categories that materially apply to the request; do not broaden a search merely because a source is available.

  • ~~CRM for account, opportunity, contact, ownership, known competitor, and active-deal truth
  • ~~Knowledge & Files for battlecards, competitive docs, account plans, product positioning, proof points, and prior briefs
  • ~~Internal Messaging for recent field signals, account-team observations, objection examples, and source-of-truth routing when internal context matters
  • ~~Meeting Transcripts for prior objections, competitor mentions, buyer language, decisions, and commitments
  • ~~Sales Intelligence only when it sharpens competitor discovery, company context, or a concrete evidence gap

Use public research for current public competitor facts. Prefer official product, pricing, launch, customer-story, investor, and regulatory sources; use secondary coverage only when primary sources are insufficient.

Reference Loading

SKILL.md owns the normal research flow, HTML-by-default behavior, and evidence guardrails. Load references only when their extra detail matters:

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
