Map competitors across positioning, product, pricing, proof, and weaknesses, then turn the research into sales-ready battlecards with an update cadence. Use when someone asks "what are our competitors doing", "build a battlecard", "how do we compare to X", "why are we losing deals to X", or before a pricing or positioning decision. Do NOT use for designing long-term defensibility strategy - use competitive-moat instead; for a public comparison landing page use comparison-page-builder; for…
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.

# Competitive Intelligence Competitive intelligence turns scattered impressions of rivals into artifacts sales and product can act on. The costly mistake it prevents is losing winnable deals to a competitor pitch nobody prepared for - or worse, repositioning the whole product around a competitor claim that was never verified. Everything below runs on one discipline: separate fact from inference, and date every claim. ## Operating procedure ### Step 1: Gather inputs 1. The 3-5 competitors that actually show up in deals (ask sales; if pre-sales, the ones prospects mention). Default: cap at 3 - depth beats coverage. 2. Which deals or segments each appears in. 3.

This sets how deep each dimension goes. ### Step 2: Work the source ladder, primary first Collect in this order and cite each claim's source: 1. Their own properties: homepage, pricing page, docs, changelog/release notes, security page. These yield positioning, features, pricing, and shipping velocity as fact. …

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/competitive-intelligence@sha256:9b3b6640c0ced11aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, 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.
