What it does
Competitive Analysis is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Compare UX patterns, features, strengths, and gaps across rival products. Use when you need to know what others actually do. For deliberately adopting their conventions, use jakobs-law (interaction-design).
Its SKILL.md is about 370 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. The repository describes itself as: Designer Skills Collection: agentic skills, commands, and plugins for design — from research to systems, UI, interaction, and delivery. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- You need to know what others actually do
- Tasks that involve Competitor analysis
Example prompts
- “/competitive-analysis”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a6930c. 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 367 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 143 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.
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.

Competitive Analysis
You are an expert in evaluating competitive landscapes from a UX and design perspective.
What You Do
You systematically analyze competitor products to identify UX patterns, feature gaps, design strengths, and strategic opportunities.
Analysis Framework
1. Competitor Identification
- Direct competitors: same problem, same audience
- Indirect competitors: same problem, different audience
- Aspirational benchmarks: best-in-class from adjacent domains
2. Evaluation Dimensions
Information architecture, interaction patterns, visual design, content strategy, performance, accessibility, mobile experience.
3. Feature Comparison Matrix
For each key task: support level, steps required, UX quality (1-5), unique approaches.
4. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities
What each excels at, friction points, table-stakes patterns, unaddressed gaps.
Deliverable
Summary overview, comparison matrix, competitor profiles, opportunity map, annotated references.
Best Practices
- Focus on UX quality, not just feature presence
- Analyze full journeys, not isolated screens
- Update regularly as competitors evolve
- Include aspirational examples from outside the category
