What it does

Competitive Analysis is an agent skill from yonatangross/orchestkit. Strategic analysis frameworks including Porter's Five Forces (industry attractiveness), SWOT (internal positioning), and competitive landscape mapping with battlecard generation. Produces competitor profiles, feature gap analysis, and positioning recommendations. Use when analyzing market position, evaluating threats, or building sales battlecards.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/competitive-analysis-guide.md`, `rules/_sections.md` and `rules/market-competitive.md`). Compatibility notes: Claude Code 2.1.277+

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Competitor analysis, Sales enablement and Startup and business strategy. The repository describes itself as: The Complete AI Development Toolkit for Claude Code. 106 skills, 36 agents, 171 hooks. Install ork for stable (v9.x), or ork-alpha for the v10 line, which ships daily. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Analyzing market position
  • Evaluating threats
  • Building sales battlecards

Example prompts

  • “/competitive-analysis”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Claude Code 2.1.277+
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0ef71d2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Claude Code 2.1.277+

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Competitive Analysis loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 232 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.4k

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 Landscape Map

Plot competitors on two axes that matter most to buyers (e.g., price vs. features, ease of use vs. power):

                    HIGH PRICE
                        |
     Premium Leaders    |    Luxury Niche
   +-------------+      |      +-------------+
   |  [Comp A]   |      |      |  [Comp B]   |
   +-------------+      |      +-------------+
                        |
LOW ────────────────────+──────────────────── HIGH
FEATURES                |                   FEATURES
                        |
   +-------------+      |      +-------------+
   |  [Comp C]   |      |      |    [US]     |
   +-------------+      |      +-------------+
     Budget Options     |    Value Leaders
                        |
                    LOW PRICE

Identify whitespace — quadrants with no incumbents that align with unmet buyer needs.
