Three more learnings from alirezarezvani/claude-skills, applied: 1. SkillCheck validator (scripts/skillcheck.mjs) — validates every SKILL.md against the authoring standard (frontmatter, name/folder match, trigger + produces clauses, required headings) plus tier referential integrity. Errors fail CI; --strict fails on warnings too. New skillcheck.yml workflow and a SkillCheck status badge in the README. Current: 0 errors / 14 advisory warnings across 172 skills. 2. Cursor export platform — build-exports.mjs now generates exports/cursor/<bundle>/<skill>/<skill>.mdc rule files. The PLATFORMS registry now supports per-skill filenames (file as a function). 3. Per-agent installers — scripts/install.sh unifies install for claude/hermes/codex/openclaw/cursor (--link, --target, --dry-run, --list). Curl-able one-liners codex-install.sh, openclaw-install.sh, and cursor-install.sh clone the library and install in a single command. README documents the one-line installs and Cursor exports; CHANGELOG and the authoring standard updated.

# Competitor Teardown Skill
|
||
|
||
This skill produces a complete competitive analysis document — structured for use in strategy decks, investor materials, sales enablement, or product planning sessions.
|
||
|
||
## Required Inputs
|
||
|
||
Ask the user for these if not provided:
|
||
- **Your product** (name + one-line description)
|
||
- **Competitors to analyse** (list 2–5 names; if not provided, ask)
|
||
- **Analysis depth** (quick overview / detailed teardown)
|
||
- **Primary use case for this analysis** (e.g. sales enablement, investor deck, internal strategy, product planning)
|
||
|
||
## Output Structure
|
||
|
||
### 1. Competitive Landscape Overview
|
||
|
||
One paragraph summarising the market dynamic: who the key players are, how the market is segmented, and where the white space sits. Keep this under 150 words — it's the exec summary.
|
||
|
||
### 2. Positioning Map
|
||
|
||
Describe a 2x2 positioning map in text form (since you can't render images):
|
||
|
||
- Define the two axes relevant to this market (e.g. "Ease of Use vs. Depth of Features" or "Price vs. Enterprise Readiness")
|
||
- Place each competitor in one quadrant with a one-sentence rationale
|
||
- Place the user's product and highlight the strategic implication
|
||
|
||
### 3. Feature Comparison Table
|
||
|
||
| Feature / Capability | [Your Product] | [Competitor A] | [Competitor B] | [Competitor C] |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| [Feature] | ✅ / ❌ / 🟡 Partial | | | |
|
||
|
||
Use ✅ (has it), ❌ (doesn't have it), 🟡 (partial/limited). Add a "Strategic Notes" column for features where the difference is a significant selling point or risk.
|
||
|
||
Include 10–15 rows. If user hasn't provided feature details, note which cells need to be verified.
|
||
|
||
### 4. Messaging Analysis
|
||
|
||
For each competitor, analyse their public-facing messaging (website headline, tagline, primary value prop):
|
||
|
||
**[Competitor Name]**
|
||
- **Their primary claim:** [what they say they do]
|
||
- **Target audience signal:** [who they seem to be targeting based on language/imagery]
|
||
- **Emotional hook:** [fear / aspiration / authority / speed / simplicity]
|
||
- **Gap or weakness in their messaging:** [what they don't address that your product could own]
|
||
|
||
### 5. SWOT Summary
|
||
|
||
Produce a clean SWOT for the user's product in the context of this competitive landscape:
|
||
|
||
- **Strengths:** [2–3 genuine differentiators]
|
||
- **Weaknesses:** [2–3 honest gaps or vulnerabilities]
|
||
- **Opportunities:** [2–3 market gaps or competitor weaknesses to exploit]
|
||
- **Threats:** [2–3 competitor moves or market shifts to watch]
|
||
|
||
### 6. Strategic Recommendations
|
||
|
||
3–5 actionable recommendations based on the analysis. Frame each as: **"Given [observation], [your product] should [action] to [outcome]."**
|
||
|
||
## Quality Checks
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Axes on positioning map are meaningful and specific to this market
|
||
- [ ] Feature table includes strategic notes on key differentiators
|
||
- [ ] Messaging analysis covers all named competitors
|
||
- [ ] SWOT is honest — Weaknesses and Threats should not be softened
|
||
- [ ] Recommendations are specific and actionable, not generic strategy advice
|
||
|
||
## Anti-Patterns
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Do not mark feature presence as equivalent across competitors without noting quality differences — both products may have "reporting" while one's is meaningfully better
|
||
- [ ] Do not position the user's product in the most favourable quadrant without justification — a self-serving positioning map that ignores real competitive pressure provides no strategic value
|
||
- [ ] Do not soften Weaknesses or Threats in the SWOT — a SWOT that only celebrates strengths is a marketing document, not a strategy tool
|
||
- [ ] Do not include unverifiable claims about competitor capabilities without flagging them as assumptions — presenting rumours as facts damages analytical credibility
|
||
|
||
## Example Trigger Phrases
|
||
|
||
- "Do a competitor analysis of [Product] vs [Competitor A] and [Competitor B]"
|
||
- "Tear down [Competitor]'s positioning"
|
||
- "Give me a competitive landscape for [market]"
|
||
- "Build a SWOT for our product against [competitor]"
