Research a competitive landscape with cited snapshots, a comparison matrix, and so-what implications. Use when a product decision needs competitive grounding, not a market report.

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

# Competitive Research Snapshot

## Purpose

Research a company's competitive landscape using a workflow, not a one-shot answer: **search plan →
competitor selection → just-enough research → fact/inference labels → real URL citations → next-step
options.** The output is a decision-support snapshot, not a market report — and because its schema is
stable, downstream skills (battle cards, delta monitors) can consume it and diff it. Because it
proceeds on labeled assumptions when questions go unanswered, it can run as an agent task or on a
schedule; re-run it and diff against the prior snapshot.

## Input

**Works best with:** the company, product, or segment to research, and **the decision this research
should support** (positioning, roadmap bet, deal support, board prep) — the decision determines what
"just enough" means.
**Also useful:** known competitors (or explicit permission to identify them), and any prior snapshot
or `market-landscape-scan` output in session — the skill builds on evidence already gathered rather
than re-researching it.

Input supplied inline with the invocation — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ninjasln-labs/agent-skills/competitive-research-snapshot@sha256:4bba34885bddf0ad

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.1, 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.
