Orchestrate a complete competitive analysis across six steps, from landscape to strategic direction. Use when you need the full picture, not a single scan or card.
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 Analysis Process ## Purpose Orchestrate rigorous, repeatable competitive analysis across **six analytical steps**, producing four actionable output types (battle cards, comparison matrices, positioning counter-moves, threat assessments). This is the umbrella: each step names its purpose, its frameworks, and the skill that does the work — the way `discovery-process` orchestrates the discovery skills. Run all six for a strategy cycle; run one when a specific question walks in the door. The steps build on each other, but the sequence bends to the decision. ## Input **Works best with:** the market or competitor set in scope, and **the decision this analysis supports** — a roadmap bet, a positioning refresh, a market entry, deal defense. The decision determines which steps get depth and which get a pass. **Also useful:** any existing intelligence — a prior landscape scan, snapshots, battle cards, or `company-intel` output — so steps consume rather than repeat it. Input supplied inline with the invocation — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended `ARGUMENTS:` line — counts as answers already given. Use it; don't re-ask. …

How to install
mdr add deanpeters/product-manager-skills/competitive-analysis-process@sha256:11ff8bd9648bf671The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.ba3fc8c, 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.
