  • User asks for competitive analysis
  • Competitor research
  • Feature comparison
  • Market positioning

Example prompts

  • “/competitive-analysis”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(product-agent:*), Read, WebSearch, WebFetch

Workflow steps

11 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Competitor Identification
  2. Feature Comparison
  3. Pricing Analysis
  4. SWOT Analysis
  5. Market Positioning
  6. Differentiation Strategy
  7. Start Broad, Then Focus
  8. Look Beyond Direct Competitors
  9. Focus on Actionable Insights
  10. Verify with App Store Data
  11. Pricing Intelligence

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eb7eaf4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(product-agent:*)
    • Read
    • WebSearch
    • WebFetch

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and json).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • todoist.com

    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

Competitive Analysis loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 870 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 870 words (~2,963 tokens).

“Performs deep competitive analysis for iOS/macOS app ideas. Goes beyond basic discovery to provide detailed competitor insights, feature matrices, and differentiation opportunities.”
