Use when mapping competitors, naming defensibility, and finding white-space — moat reasoning, where-to-play. Triggers on 'who are we competing with', 'what's our moat'.

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

# competitive-moat-analysis

## When to use

- A strategist needs a competitor map for a market / segment — not a feature-comparison sheet, but a *where-they-are-strong / where-we-are-strong / where-no-one-is* read.
- A board pack or fundraise narrative claims a moat; the question is *which moat*, *how durable*, and *what would erode it*.
- A market-entry decision needs white-space identification — where can we win cleanly because incumbents structurally can't follow?

Do NOT use for narrative / messaging surface (route to Wing-3 `positioning-strategy` for the outward-facing pitch; this skill produces the internal cognition that pitch rests on), per-package adoption comparisons (route to `competitive-positioning` (Wing-1 package-peer comparison)), or build-vs-buy decisions (route to `build-buy-partner` (P1)).

## Cognition cluster

- **Mental model 18 — Where to play, where not to play.** A moat is read as much from *what we refuse to do* as from what we do. Trying to win everywhere = winning nowhere. See [`mental-models.md`](../../../docs/contracts/mental-models.md) § 18.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add event4u-app/agent-config/competitive-moat-analysis@sha256:b694ce2e1ddb7ccf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.80955c9, 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.
