Discover, clone, refresh, and analyze competitor repositories to produce evidence-backed competitive intelligence with file:line citations.

What it does
- Discover: runs multiple
gh search reposqueries to shortlist candidate projects, capturing stars, forks, issues, language, and last-push dates with a retrieval date. - Ingest / Update: clones repos into a durable workspace (
~/workspace/competitors/{product-slug}/{owner-repo}), records remote URL and HEAD commit, and reports changed commits before re-analysis. - Profile: reads project metadata, README/docs, entry points, core modules, tests, and changelogs in a fixed order, requiring a
file:linecitation for every technical claim. - Landscape: synthesizes a source register plus positioning, feature/technical comparison, strengths, weaknesses & gaps, opportunities, and risks tables — keeping facts separate from judgment and marking unverified items as
待验证. - Explicitly forbids hedge words ("probably", "seems"), unsourced numbers, and architecture claims inferred from the UI.
Who it's for
- PMs and founders operating in crowded open-source markets.
- Engineers and tech leads who need code-level competitor understanding.
- Analysts and due-diligence researchers who must re-run and audit reports over time.
- Teams tired of competitive decks built on speculation.
Examples
- "Find competitors for my note-taking app" → searches GitHub, presents an evidence-backed shortlist, then clones only the relevant repos.
- "add competitor https://github.com/org/repo" → clones the repo, records remote/commit, and writes a first technical profile (stack, parser/storage design, supported formats).
- "Any competitor code changes since last month?" → fetches/pulls all tracked repos and summarizes new commits and their implications.
- "Compare us with A and B and find openings" → produces comparison tables plus gaps, opportunities, and confidence ratings.

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the competitors-analysis folder from the GitHub repo daymade/claude-code-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/competitors-analysis/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git /tmp/ccs && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/ccs/competitors-analysis ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Clone the skills repo into a temp folder:
git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git /tmp/ccs - Make sure your Claude Code skills directory exists:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy just this skill (it needs its
references/andscripts/files):cp -r /tmp/ccs/competitors-analysis ~/.claude/skills/ - Make the helper script executable:
chmod +x ~/.claude/skills/competitors-analysis/scripts/update-competitors.sh - Install and authenticate GitHub CLI (required for Discover mode):
brew install gh && gh auth login(use apt/dnf on Linux) - Create the durable workspace for cloned repos:
mkdir -p ~/workspace/competitorsTo use another location, setexport COMPETITORS_BASE="$HOME/your/path". - Restart Claude Code and ask something like "Use competitors-analysis to map competitors for my product X". Provide your product name and target segment up front for better output.
