Refresh the user's competitive and market context. Re-scan named rivals and the category for what changed since the brief was written (rebrands, repositioning, new entrants, pricing shifts, renamed categories) and update docs/gtm-cofounder/founder-brief.md and the roadmap with anything that moves positioning. Use on a cadence, or whenever a competitor rebrands, a new tool appears, or the user senses the market has shifted under them.

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

# Market scan (keep your read current)

> Positioning rots. The competitor you sized up six months ago has since rebranded, raised, repriced, or renamed the category. This is the habit that keeps your brief honest about the world outside it.

**Use this when:** a rival just rebranded or repositioned, a new tool is getting attention in your space, your `docs/gtm-cofounder/founder-brief.md` competitor answers are more than a quarter old, or you just have the feeling the ground moved and your messaging is answering last year's market.

## The core idea

`research-the-market` is the first full pass on the market: venues, launches, the problem in public, rivals, openings. This skill is the refresh after that, focused on what changed.

Your `docs/gtm-cofounder/founder-brief.md` captured the market as it was the day you wrote it. Markets don't hold still. A scan re-checks the outside world against your brief and surfaces the deltas: what changed, and which changes actually threaten or help your positioning. Most don't matter. The scan's job is to find the two or three that do, not to produce a competitor spreadsheet.

## Before you start: can your agent see the web?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aidevgtm/gtm-cofounder/market-scan@sha256:04391bc3db7c3066

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.670025b, 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.
