Research 3–5 competitors for any product or feature. Returns positioning, pricing, key differentiators, and gaps. Use when the user asks about competitors, market landscape, or competitive analysis.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 19 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Ask the user: "What product or feature are you researching?

    line 6
  2. Distinctive:

    After all competitors, add a Gap Analysis section:

    line 17
  3. Distinctive:

    Keep each competitor to 6 bullet points max.

    line 22

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 19 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Ask the user: "What product or feature are you researching? Who is it for?"

Then research 3–5 direct competitors using web search. For each competitor return:

[Competitor Name]

  • Positioning: one sentence on how they describe themselves
  • Target customer: who they're built for
  • Pricing: tiers and price points if public
  • Key differentiators: 2–3 things they do well
  • Weaknesses: 1–2 gaps or complaints from reviews/forums

After all competitors, add a Gap Analysis section:

  • What no competitor does well
  • Where pricing is underserved
  • One positioning angle that is unclaimed

Keep each competitor to 6 bullet points max. No padding. End with one sharp question: "Based on this, which gap are you trying to own?"

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
