competitive-positioning skillB

competitive-positioning is agent-read markdown (skill) from lool-ventures/founder-skills: Maps a startup's competitive landscape, scores moat strength across 6+ dimensions, and generates an investor-ready competition narrative with positioning map. Run the verified scoring rather than assessing positioning from memory. Also covers plain-language questions with no brief attached — 'who else is doing this?', 'who are my competitors?', 'is that a real moat?' — which run verified research instead of recalled competitor names..

Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Competitive Positioning Skill

Help startup founders see their competitive landscape clearly — who the real competitors are, where they're differentiated, how defensible that differentiation is, and how to present it to investors. Produce a competitive analysis with positioning maps, moat scorecards, and an investor-ready narrative. The tone is founder-first: a coaching tool for preparation, not a judgment.
