When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Competitor analysis

Example prompts

  • “/competitor-research”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the current state
  2. Gather current primary sources first.
  3. Revalidate the highest-impact claims
  4. Update or create the canonical folder-based record.
  5. Fill structured frontmatter first
  6. Write or revise the markdown body second.
  7. Update the tracker status if the record moved forward.

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 Research loads about 560 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 247 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~560

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.

Create or refresh one competitor record in the comparison canon.

Use this skill when the task is to research, validate, migrate, or update a specific competitor.

Load First

Then inspect any existing material for the target competitor:

  • canonical folder in comparison/<slug>/
  • legacy file in comparison/_legacy/

Core Rule

An existing competitor record is a baseline, not truth.

When updating or migrating a competitor:

  • read the stored record first
  • treat all stored claims as provisional
  • re-check high-impact claims against current primary sources
  • update structured data before prose

Research Workflow

  1. Identify the current state:
    • missing
    • legacy-flat
    • canon-draft
    • canon-reviewed
    • stale
  2. Gather current primary sources first.
  3. Revalidate the highest-impact claims:
    • identity and links
    • pricing
    • deployment and provider model
    • core comparison axes
  4. Update or create the canonical folder-based record.
  5. Fill structured frontmatter first:
    • facts
    • comparison axes
    • sources
    • tags and relevance
  6. Write or revise the markdown body second.
  7. Update the tracker status if the record moved forward.

Writing Rules

  • keep facts, evaluations, and editorial opinion separate
  • use yes, partial, no, or unknown for axis verdicts
  • lower confidence or use unknown when evidence is weak
  • do not quietly preserve stale conclusions from the legacy record
  • only refresh last_checked after revalidation is complete

Migration Rules

When migrating from comparison/_legacy/:

  • keep the legacy file as input until the canonical record is complete
  • avoid creating split truth between the new folder and the old file
  • if schema pressure appears, update the guide/template before mass migration
