08 Competitor Research Global is an agent skill from minhnv0807/ai-business-skills. Use when the user needs to understand competitors — direct, indirect, and substitute tiers, positioning map, SWOT, ad and content benchmark, pricing comparison, and the market gap to attack, using SimilarWeb, Ahrefs, Semrush, and the Meta Ad Library. Trigger on 'competitor research', 'competitive analysis', 'what are competitors running', 'who else sells this', 'why do people pick them over us', 'benchmark us against the market'. Also use when the user sends a competitor link and asks for an opinion. Not for —…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Competitor analysis, Startup and business strategy and Positioning and messaging. It works with Ahrefs and TikTok. The repository describes itself as: 138 bilingual AI marketing skills (69 VN + 69 Global) for Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, VS Code. Four role SOP packs — content, design, performance, leader ops — plus strategy… The licence is MIT.
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0360adc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
08 Competitor Research Global loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 187 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,199 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

Categorize competitors into 3 groups — don't just look at direct competitors:
| Tier | Definition | Criteria | Example (Mid-tier Spa) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct | Same tier, same offering, same audience | Same price, same service, same area | Spa B same street, similar pricing |
| Indirect potential | Different offering but substitutable | Customer might pick them instead | Cosmetic clinic, at-home skincare, home beauty devices |
| Secondary | Same offering, different price tier | Competes when budget shifts | Premium spa (customer downgrades), budget spa (upgrades) |
For each competitor, analyze 8 dimensions:
| Element | Content |
|---|---|
| Main message | [Slogan, tagline, brand promise] |
| Visual style | [Color tone, photo style, video quality] |
| Price tier | [Low / Medium / High / Premium] |
| Target audience | [Gender, age, income, interests] |
| Stated USP | [What do they claim is their differentiation?] |
| Strengths | Weaknesses |

| Posting frequency | [X posts/week] |
| Priority format | [Short video / Carousel / Long post / Reels] |
| Tone of voice | [Professional / Friendly / Humorous / Educational] |
| Content angle mix | [TOFU X% / MOFU X% / BOFU X%] |

| Channel | Yes / No | Followers / Likes | Activity rating |

Estimation method (no need for absolute precision):
| Signal | How to read |
|---|---|
| Sponsored posts/month | Count "Sponsored" labeled posts in Meta Ads Library |
| TikTok video ad volume | TikTok Creative Center -> Top Ads -> filter by industry |
| Website traffic | SimilarWeb (free tier) or Semrush |

| Estimated metric | Value |
