When your agent uses it

  • Doing competitive research
  • Preparing a competitive brief
  • Finding differentiation opportunities

Example prompts

  • “/competitor-analysis”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Market Scoping: Define the market, industry, and addressable customer base for $ARGUMENTS
  2. Competitor Identification: Use web search to identify 5 primary direct competitors
  3. Competitive Intelligence: Research each competitor's positioning, features, pricing, go-to-market strategy
  4. Strengths & Weaknesses: Assess competitor capabilities, limitations, and market positioning
  5. Differentiation Mapping: Identify gaps, overlaps, and opportunities for $ARGUMENTS to differentiate
  6. Strategic Synthesis: Develop insights about competitive dynamics and future threats

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d14a69. 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

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

    • productcompass.pm

    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

Competitor Analysis loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 517 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.
