Helps marketers build, organize, and activate competitive intelligence—covering research methods, positioning frameworks, sales enablement formats, and automated monitoring workflows. Trigger when a user needs to understand their competitive landscape, develop competitive positioning, enable sales against competitors, or set up ongoing competitive monitoring.

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 Intelligence

## Overview
This skill covers how B2B marketers research competitors, develop competitive positioning, enable sales teams, and build automated systems for ongoing competitive monitoring. All practices are sourced exclusively from guests on the Exit Five podcast; no external best practices have been added. Where guests disagree, both positions are presented with full attribution so you can make an informed choice.

## Researching the Competitive Landscape

### Primary Research Methods

When building competitive intelligence from scratch, prioritize primary research over surface-level observation.

- **Rebuild competitor comparison pages from scratch** using primary research: scrape competitor sitemaps and product documentation, extract G2 reviews, analyze live competitor product flows, and gather internal sales call insights. Structure comparisons with specific, sourced claims and include sections where competitors win—not just your advantages. This creates non-biased, detailed comparisons that both humans and LLMs trust more than generic feature lists. *(Source: Adina Timar, Episode #336)*

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add the-nam-shub/e5-real-skills/competitive-intelligence@sha256:b1dd0548948dd288

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2026-04-20, 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.
