What it does

Competitor Alternatives is an agent skill from freekmurze/dotfiles. When the user wants to create competitor comparison or alternative pages for SEO and sales enablement. Also use when the user mentions 'alternative page,' 'vs page,' 'competitor comparison,' 'comparison page,' '[Product] vs [Product],' '[Product] alternative,' or 'competitive landing pages.' Covers four formats: singular alternative, plural alternatives, you vs competitor, and competitor vs competitor. Emphasizes deep research, modular content architecture, and varied section types beyond feature tables.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/content-architecture.md` and `references/templates.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Competitor analysis, Sales enablement and Landing pages.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants to create competitor comparison
  • Alternative pages for SEO and sales enablement
  • The user mentions alternative page
  • Competitor comparison

Example prompts

  • “alternative page,”
  • “vs page,”
  • “competitor comparison,”
  • “/competitor-alternatives”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Honesty Builds Trust
  2. Depth Over Surface
  3. Help Them Decide
  4. Modular Content Architecture

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8874280. 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

Competitor Alternatives loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 133 tokens; SKILL.md has 930 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~133
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.1k

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.
