Example prompts

  • “/competitor-discovery”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  2. Look for missing products in the most relevant clusters first
  3. De-duplicate against
  4. For each candidate, decide
  5. Recommend one of

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e912716. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Competitor Discovery loads about 531 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 251 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~531

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Find new competitors worth adding to the comparison program.

Use this skill when the task is to discover, shortlist, or prioritize emerging products, not to fully research one specific competitor.

Load First

What This Skill Does

  • finds new competitors
  • classifies them into the existing comparison landscape
  • assigns an initial relevance tier
  • recommends whether to add them to the tracker now, watch them, or ignore them

This skill does not produce a full canonical competitor profile. Hand off to competitor-research for that.

Discovery Workflow

  1. Start from the current tracker and existing corpus.
  2. Look for missing products in the most relevant clusters first:
    • agent orchestrators
    • first-party coding agents
    • desktop agent environments
    • PM tools that overlap with execution workflows
  3. De-duplicate against:
    • comparison/<slug>/
    • comparison/_legacy/
    • aliases already noted in the tracker
  4. For each candidate, decide:
    • category
    • what job it does
    • whether it is direct, adjacent, or monitor-only
  5. Recommend one of:
    • add now
    • watch
    • ignore

Output Format

For each candidate, provide:

  • name
  • segment
  • why it matters
  • initial relevance tier: core, high, or monitor
  • recommendation: add now, watch, or ignore

Keep discovery output concise. The point is triage, not full research.

Discovery Rules

  • optimize for relevance, not exhaustiveness
  • prefer active products over abandoned repos
  • distinguish direct competitors from adjacent substitutes
  • do not write a canonical profile here
  • if a candidate looks important but facts are thin, still add it to the tracker with missing
