Repo Competitive Analysis Pipeline

Overview

This skill conducts systematic 6-phase analysis of external repositories to assess their value for adoption. You dispatch parallel subagents to read and catalog every file in an external repo, inventory your own toolkit in parallel, identify genuine capability gaps, audit those gaps against your actual codebase, and produce a reality-grounded comparison report with adoption recommendations.

The pipeline enforces full file reading (not sampling), parallel execution (up to 8 agent zones simultaneously), and mandatory audit (every recommendation verified before reporting). Optional flags allow local analysis (--local), zone focus (--zone), and quick comparison (--quick skips audit).

Instructions

Input Parsing

Before starting Phase 1, parse the user's input:

• GitHub URL: Extract repo name from URL (e.g., https://github.com/org/repo -> repo)
• Local path: Validate the path exists and contains files
• Bare repo name: Assume https://github.com/{name} if it looks like org/repo
