What it does

Competitive Analysis is an agent skill from mverab/eGEOagents. Analyze AI-search competitors for a query and recommend ranking strategy. Use when users ask competitor analysis, who ranks, or competitive landscape.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 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 AI search optimization and Competitor analysis. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) & Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) toolkit — optimize content to rank in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini & Claude. AI SEO / LLM SEO… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Users ask competitor analysis
  • Competitive landscape

Example prompts

  • “/competitive-analysis”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the Query Space
  2. Generate Competitor Profiles
  3. Evaluate Ranking Factors
  4. Create Comparison Matrix
  5. Recommend Strategy

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 58ee654. 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 723 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 155 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~723

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.
