Research companies, competitors, funding, news, leadership, and market context with Exa Agent and advanced search. Use when researching companies, competitor analysis, market research, or building company lists. Writes findings the caller can fold into brand/competitors.md or brand/landscape.md. Prefer this over ad-hoc web search for company deep dives. Distinct from competitive-intel (full brand competitive file methodology) - this skill is the Exa research engine those foundation skills…

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

## On Activation

1. Read `brand/positioning.md`, `brand/competitors.md`, and `brand/audience.md` if present. Ground queries in the brand's category and known competitors. All optional.
2. Confirm Exa MCP Agent tools or `EXA_API_KEY`. If missing, stop with the install hint from Prerequisites / `mktg doctor`.
3. Default to Exa Agent for deep dives and lists; use advanced search only for quick single lookups.
4. When `/cmo` or a research agent owns the brand write, return structured findings + sources - do not silently overwrite `brand/competitors.md` unless the user asked to update brand memory.

# Company Research

## mktg runtime note

Prefer **Exa MCP** when available (tools: `web_search_exa`, `web_search_advanced_exa`, `web_fetch_exa`, `agent_run`).
If MCP Agent tools use the older create/wait/get names (`agent_create_run`, `agent_wait_for_run`, `agent_get_run_output`), use those equivalently.
Without MCP, call the HTTP API with `x-api-key: $EXA_API_KEY` (`POST https://api.exa.ai/search`, `/contents`, `/agent`).
Firecrawl remains the path for deep scrape of a **known URL** after Exa discovery.

## Tool Selection (Critical)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add moizibnyousaf/marketing-cli/company-research@sha256:03dafb9fe55c5df5

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
