Map the competitors buyers actually compare a product with and break down their offers, proof, pricing and messaging side by side, ending with positions nobody is claiming. Use for positioning, pricing decisions, sales battlecards or a market overview.

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 Dossier

Understand what competitors promise, prove and leave open, from their own public material.

Execution mode: agent-native with built-in web search. Use Firecrawl if `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` is set. For ads, use the public Meta Ad Library pages or the Competitor Ads Intelligence skill if it is installed.

Example request: "Build a competitor dossier for our AI meeting notes tool. Compare us with the five tools buyers mention most."

## Inputs

- The product and its buyer. Read `product-context.md` if present.
- Competitors the founder already knows. Ask, but do not depend on it.

## Method

1. **Find the real set.** Search comparison pages ("X vs Y", "X alternatives"), review sites and community threads. Keep the five to eight names buyers actually compare. Note direct competitors and the do-it-yourself alternative separately.
2. **Read each one** from its own site: homepage, pricing, one or two key feature pages, customer stories. Record the headline promise, who it targets, the proof shown (named customers, numbers, awards), price points and packaging, free trial or freemium, and the main call to action.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ekos-labs/skills/competitor-dossier@sha256:843b1fac6081c9de

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.
