Ran it for real against Linear with live web fetches, then compared the battlecard to a no-skill analysis of the same competitor built from the pages I would have reached on my own. The skill's prescribed source list surfaced the $82M Series C at a $1.25B valuation, the 2019 founding and four dated mid-2026 agent releases that the baseline missed entirely: 4 cited source URLs and 7 dated items against 0 and 0. Cross-referencing the knowledge base produced two decisions the baseline never reached, retiming an agent-triage OKR because Linear ships its agent platform on the free tier, and a seat-math angle for six-plus-team orgs that Linear pushes onto its $16 tier. It refuses to start until a knowledge/ directory exists, so pm-setup has to be installed and run first, which is why the install command above copies both. One stale detail: the follow-up step points at a /prd command this repo does not ship, the skill is called write-prd.
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 Competitive Intel does
Researches a named competitor by fetching their homepage, pricing, features, about and blog pages and running a fixed set of funding, review and comparison searches, then writes a battlecard covering positioning, strengths, weaknesses, pricing, recent moves and customer sentiment. It triggers when you ask to research a competitor, build a battlecard, or work out where you win against a rival product. Findings are cross-referenced against a local knowledge base of your product context, strategy and OKRs, and every claim carries a source and a date.
