⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 29, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.
Ran the deep-dive mode on Linear against a from-memory baseline of the same request: the baseline produced 264 words with zero URLs and zero dated facts, the skill run produced a report with 7 live source URLs, 10 source-and-confidence tags and 13 dated changelog entries. The workflow is what forced the extra evidence: it pushed past the pricing page into the changelog and job board, which turned the baseline's guess "probably moving upmarket" into a specific finding (five staffed GTM roles plus a Compliance and Trust Lead). When G2 returned HTTP 403 the skill's citation rules made the run state the source was unreachable rather than invent review quotes, and it flagged three memory-based claims as "[Assumption, verify]" that the baseline had asserted as fact. One rough edge: the output template lives in the repo root, not in the skill folder, so keep the clone around rather than copying only the skill directory.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 4/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 8/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Analyze Competitors does
Runs a competitive analysis in one of four modes: single-competitor deep dive, full landscape, synthesis of existing research, or a monthly monitoring update. Triggers on requests like "research Linear", "who are our competitors", "synthesize competitors" or "monthly competitor check-in". It checks internal notes first, fills gaps with web research, tags every key claim with a source and confidence level, and writes a structured report to output/competitors/.
How to install Analyze Competitors
Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.
Commands — how to trigger Analyze Competitors
-
/analyze-competitorsCompetitor deep dives with source and confidence tags, not remembered facts
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Analyze Competitors skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from arezous/pm-pilot. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Analyze Competitors work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 29, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works.

- What is the Analyze Competitors SkillProof Score?
- 8.4/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Analyze Competitors?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Analyze Competitors with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
