/competitor-analysis — Deprecated Alias
[DEPRECATED — v0.17+] Available as a preset: /research --angle=competitors.
This standalone skill remains for backwards compatibility. removed-after: v0.20.0 (~2026-08-01)
What this routes to
This skill is a Phase-5 specialization of /research (see
skills/research/SKILL.md). When invoked, it immediately hands off to
/research with the competitors angle preselected, which runs:
practical teammate → Find ALL competitors (not only the obvious ones).
Check market map, Crunchbase, ProductHunt, G2/Capterra. Who launched in
the last 6 months? Who died? Who pivoted?arch-analyst teammate → For each competitor: tech stack, architectural
patterns, API design, infra, open-source components. Weak points. What's
hard to replicate (moat).trends teammate → Where is the market moving? Hype cycle. Regulation.
Timing — too early or too late?
