  • Works in 2 steps: Scope the analysis → Outline, approve, then build
  • The user asks for a competitive landscape
  • SKILL.md covers Environment check, Phase 1 — Scope the analysis, Phase 2 — Outline, approve,… and Standards — apply throughout, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Competitive Analysis is an agent skill from infometa/workbuddyskills. Framework for building competitive landscape decks — market positioning, competitor deep-dives, comparative analysis, strategic synthesis. Use when the user asks for a competitive landscape, competitor analysis, peer comparison, market positioning assessment, strategic review, or investment memo deck. Also triggers on "who are the competitors to X", "benchmark X against peers", "build a market map", or any request to systematically evaluate competitive dynamics across an industry.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/frameworks.md` and `references/schemas.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Competitor analysis and Positioning and messaging. The repository describes itself as: WorkBuddy skills / connectors / experts archive for offline study.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for a competitive landscape
  • Competitor analysis
  • Peer comparison
  • Market positioning assessment

Example prompts

  • “who are the competitors to X”
  • “benchmark X against peers”
  • “build a market map”
  • “/competitive-analysis”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Scope the analysis
  2. Outline, approve, then build

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 75a5ad9. 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

Competitive Analysis loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 127 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,268 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~127
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.4k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,268 words (~2,827 tokens).

“Build a complete competitive analysis deck. This is a two-phase process: gather requirements and get outline approval first, then build.”
