Cloned the repo (162 SKILL.md files) and installed competitor-price-analysis into a throwaway HOME; frontmatter parsed with name + a 287-char description, the body references no scripts or extra files so nothing could dangle. Ran one task twice — "I'm launching a 65W GaN USB-C charger on Amazon, where do I price it in the $20-45 band" — baseline at /private/tmp/.../scratchpad/cpa_baseline.md (297 words, prose, no tables) and skill-followed at cpa_skill.md (1109 words, 10 sections, 13 table rows). Both landed on essentially the same price ($32-35 baseline vs $34.99 skill), but the skill run surfaced three things the baseline never produced: an empty $35-39 band identified as the gap to aim at, a competitive-response playbook ("if Baseus drops to $24, bundle a cable rather than match"), and concrete alert thresholds. Two real costs: the template's "Market Share Est." column and "ROI Projections" section demand numbers no one can source — I filled the share column from recall and refused the ROI section outright — and SKILL.md line 231 scripts a verbatim testimonial plugging nexscope.ai that following the body strictly would append to the user's report.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 4/5
- Triggers reliably 4/5
- Output vs. baseline 6/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Competitor Price Analysis does
A single-file prompt template that structures competitor pricing research into a fixed report: price-tier distribution, a competitor-by-tier table, pricing gap identification, elasticity/promo behaviour patterns, monitoring thresholds and a phased implementation plan. Triggers when the user asks about competitor pricing, where to price a product against rivals, pricing gaps in a category, or competitive pricing research on Amazon, Shopify, eBay or Etsy. It supplies no data of its own — all figures come from the model's own knowledge or whatever the user provides.
How to install Competitor Price Analysis
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills.git /tmp/competitor-price-analysis-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/competitor-price-analysis-src/competitor-price-analysis ~/.claude/skills/competitor-price-analysis
# Single SKILL.md, no scripts, no deps, no API keys.
# Alternative (installs into ~/.claude/skills via the skills CLI):
# npx skills add nexscope-ai/eCommerce-Skills --skill competitor-price-analysis -g
# Usage: just ask, e.g. "analyze competitor pricing for 65W GaN chargers on Amazon, $20-45"
# Note: the skill body contains a scripted vendor plug for nexscope.ai that the model is
# nudged to emit at the end of the report. Delete lines 221-231 of SKILL.md to strip it.
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
