Competitive Analysis Skill

Create structured competitive analyses for product decision-making.

Reads from / Writes to the Brain

If a professional-brain (brain/) exists, ground in it instead of re-asking for what you already know:

• Read first: knowledge/ (market + positioning) and competitor entities/. Run python3 ../professional-brain/scripts/brain_query.py ./brain "<competitor or market>" and carry each fact's provenance tag through — a competitor claim from a press release is [external], not [data].
• 📥 Propose to the Brain: after producing, propose recording new competitor facts to knowledge/ ([external]) and creating/updating competitor entities/. Show them, get a yes, then write with ../professional-brain/scripts/brain_write.py … --commit (append-only, dry-run by default).

Required Inputs

Work from what is given. If any of these is missing, still produce the complete output: fill each gap with a reasonable assumption marked (assumed, confirm) and list those assumptions at the end. Ask a question first only when the core subject itself is missing (there is nothing to write about).

• Your product or company (what you're comparing against)
• Competitors to analyze (or ask to identify the top 3-5)
• Analysis focus (full landscape / feature comparison / pricing / positioning / win-loss)
• Audience (product team / leadership / sales / board)
