Research competitor products, launch history, and acquisition evidence from public sources or supplied materials. Use when evaluating growth claims, comparing competitors, or choosing growth experiments. Produces a cited brief that separates observations, attributed claims, estimates, and hypotheses.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Competitor Research Help the user decide what to learn from a competitor. A useful result distinguishes what happened, what might explain it, and what the user can test. Do not promise a complete growth history for every domain. ## Start with the decision Identify the exact product/domain, the research question, and any known market, budget, or stage. Ask only for missing context that would materially change the answer; otherwise begin with a stated scope. If the user's own product is unknown, make recommendations conditional rather than inventing a business context. Select an available evidence route: - **Public web:** use the host's available search/browser tools. No account or MCP is required by this skill. Research capability and model usage come from the host. - **Supplied materials:** analyze the user's files, extracts, or reports. A URL alone is not its contents. Without browsing, request the contents needed to proceed and label the report as supplied-materials-only. - **Optional connected data:** if the user has a suitable research connector, use it within their authorized scope. Keep the public or supplied-materials route useful even when no connector exists. …

How to install
mdr add davepoon/buildwithclaude/competitor-research@sha256:ea1dee080f29462bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.99b6f10, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
