When the user wants to know who their competitors are, what a rival is doing, or how to beat one. Holds what a model gets wrong about competitive research in 2026 (how far off traffic and keyword estimates are, the DataForSEO traffic model change on 1 November 2026, what ad libraries show, why AI answers now set the shortlist, what battlecard surveys can prove, the legal lines) and what each Manifold tool costs and hides. Also use when the user mentions real competitors, competitors we have…
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 intelligence Who the user really competes with, what each rival does and can afford, what buyers and AI engines say about them, and how to turn that into a plan, a battlecard or a weekly watch, as the evidence stood in October 2026. A model tends to get three things wrong: it reads Similarweb, Semrush, Ahrefs or DataForSEO traffic as a visit count, it takes the domains sharing a site's keywords for its competitors, and it fills in a rival's prices, features and headcount from memory. Every number about a competitor needs a source and a date, or it stays out. ## Before starting - **Product context.** Read `.agents/product-marketing.md` (in older setups `.claude/product-marketing.md` or `product-marketing-context.md`) and take the product, domain, category, ICP, known competitors with their domains and handles, differentiation, proof points and the objections sales hears from it; ask only for what it lacks. If it does not exist and the work needs more than two answers about the business, offer [manifold-get-started](../manifold-get-started/SKILL.md) first. After delivering, offer to write the competitors, their claims and the counters back into that file. …

How to install
mdr add manifoldmcp/marketing-skills/competitor-intel@sha256:78b93b1c9f06b659The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261108.4c598c9, 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.
