Use this skill to find, verify, classify, and rank direct, adjacent, and tangential competitors from public web evidence. Trigger it when entering a market, building a competitor set, validating perceived alternatives, or refreshing research after a pivot.
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 Discovery ## Usage Use when you don't know who your competitors are, when entering a new market, or when refreshing the competitor list after a pivot or market shift. ## Process ### Step 1: Gather Inputs Ask the user for: 1. **Product description** — what it does, what category it's in, key features 2. **Target audience** — who buys or uses the product (role, industry, company size) 3. **Known competitors** (optional) — names or URLs to include without searching 4. **Number to find** (optional) — default: 5-7 ### Step 2: Build Search Queries Construct 4-6 search queries mixing these angles: - **Category:** "[category] tools 2025 2026" or "[category] software" - **Alternative:** "[product name] alternatives" or "tools like [product name]" - **Problem:** "[primary use case] solution" or "[pain point] tool" - **Audience:** "best [category] for [target company type]" or "[category] for [target role]" - **Comparison:** "best [category] compared" or "top [category] platforms" - **Review sites:** "[category] G2" or "[category] Capterra" (to mine company names from lists) …

How to install
mdr add superamped/ai-marketing-skills/competitor-discovery@sha256:a13c2361ab1f7a6dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
