competitor-research — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited competitor-research (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
The first skill in the article's Example 1 chain. Reads a competitor URL + name, produces a structured dossier, writes the file to marketing/competitors/MMYY-{slug}.md. Run once per competitor (3-5 competitors is typical for the first cycle). After all per-competitor files exist, run /competitor-aggregate to synthesize the canonical threat matrix.

[UNAVAILABLE] notation where real data isn't accessible to the skill (e.g., your private win-loss data)marketing/positioning/positioning.md (optional — gives the skill context on what differentiation matters); marketing/icp/ICP.md (optional — informs "where they win vs. lose" framing).marketing/competitors/MMYY-{slug}.mdChange the dimension count or section structure by editing this SKILL.md body. The 12-section default tracks the Genesys ontology (.claude/rules/ontology.md § competitor-intel). Add a custom dimension (e.g., "Open-source posture" if you're in a category where that matters) by appending a new section after section 8.
Day 1-3: /competitor-research × N (this skill) → per-competitor files in marketing/competitors/
Day 4: /competitor-aggregate → synthesizes per-competitor files into the canonical threat matrix
Day 5: /icp-research → reads competitor outputs to inform ICPAfter all 3 competitor files exist, run /competitor-aggregate to lock the canonical version.
Per competitor: quarterly minimum. Trigger sooner on funding, launch, or repositioning. Use the --refresh flag (when you implement it) to update an existing dossier rather than create a new file.
