competitive-scan-lite
Run a fast, honest competitive scan — the dimension table built from public evidence (sites, docs, pricing pages, changelogs, reviews), the claims-vs-observed discipline, and the so-what synthesis that ends in moves, not a landscape mural. Use when asked what are competitors doing, quick scan of these three rivals, how does our pricing/feature set compare, or prep the competitive slide honestly. Produces the evidence-based comparison table, the marketing-vs-reality flags, the so-what synthesis, and the staleness date.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Competitive Scan Lite Skill Competitive scans fail toward two poles: the mural (a beautiful landscape slide, no implications, stale in a month) and the strawman (competitors rendered conveniently weak, disproven at the first customer call). The lite scan is evidence-first and implication-shaped: a small dimension table (the 5–7 dimensions that matter *for the current decision*), filled from what's publicly observable — pricing pages, docs, changelogs, review sites, job postings (the underrated tell of where rivals are investing) — with claims marked as claims and observations as observations, ending in the only section that justifies the exercise: *so-what moves for us*. Dated, because scans rot on schedule. ## What This Skill Produces - **The dimension table** — competitors × the decision-relevant dimensions, every cell sourced - **The claims-vs-observed flags** — what their marketing says vs. what docs/reviews/changelogs show - **The investment tells** — changelog velocity, job postings, pricing changes — where rivals are *heading* - **The so-what synthesis** — the 2–3 implications and moves, plus the scan's staleness date ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **T

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill competitive-scan-lite --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
