Startup Competitors

This one does serious competitive research, not just a list of company names. It spawns parallel agents to mine pricing models, customer reviews, community forums, and GTM signals, then synthesizes everything into battle cards and feature matrices. Takes 15-25 minutes in Claude Code with parallel execution. Works standalone but gets smarter if you've already run startup-design, pulling from those files to skip intake and go straight to deep research. The three-wave structure is smart: profiles and pricing, then sentiment mining across G2 and Reddit, then strategic signals. Useful when you need actual intelligence on who you're up against, not surface-level competitor pages.

Files

Startup Competitors

Deep competitive intelligence that goes beyond surface-level profiles. Produces actionable battle cards, pricing landscape analysis, and strategic vulnerability mapping using real web data.

How It Works

INTAKE → RESEARCH (3 sequential waves) → SYNTHESIS → BATTLE CARDS

The process is focused: understand the product, research competitors deeply across 3 dimensions, synthesize findings, and produce actionable output. Typical runtime: 15-25 minutes in Claude Code (parallel agents), 30-45 minutes in Claude.ai (sequential).

Language

Default output language is English. If the user writes in another language or explicitly requests one, use that language for all outputs instead.


Phase 0: Resume Check

Before anything else, check if a PROGRESS.md created by this skill exists in the working directory or a project subdirectory (the skill name field says startup-competitors). If it does, read it and resume from the last incomplete phase. Tell the user: "I found progress from a previous session. You completed [phases]. Picking up from [next phase]."
