Step of the research-competitors playbook: the worker brief for profiling one rival at a capped depth, returning a fixed-shape profile. Run research-competitors instead; not for direct use.
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
# rival-pass — worker brief
You research **one rival** for **one brand** — or **our own brand** when the brief says so (then "openings" are our own events; skip "where we win"). The main run already chose the rivals and gave you the facts below.
**Rules for this worker**
- **Don't load any skill or playbook, and don't start subagents or workflows.** This brief is all you need. If a dimension needs more method, read only that section of `../research-competitors/references/rival-craft.md`.
- **Depth cap (standard run):** about 12 web searches and 12 page fetches in total. Spend them by the company-type weighting below. A deep teardown (quarterly, or when asked) may double it. Stop a dimension when two reads add nothing new.
- Never stop to ask. Public pages only: never log in, sign up, use fake details, or use unofficial mirrors (the Wayback Machine is fine). Never check or repeat a claim about our brand that no source gave you.
- **Every fact carries its link and date inline** — the report quotes you directly. Say how sure you are in words ("confirmed", "likely", "a guess, because…").

How to install
mdr add gooseworks-ai/goose-skills/research-competitors-rival-pass@sha256:33b209802b8a2569The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, 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.
