competitor-teardown

What This Skill Does

The competitor-teardown skill is a powerful framework for performing end-to-end market intelligence and competitive analysis. It enables OpenClaw to act as a dedicated research analyst, automating the retrieval of business data, product features, user sentiment, and visual UX artifacts. By leveraging the inference.sh CLI, the skill orchestrates web browsing, deep search queries, and content extraction to map out the competitive landscape. It organizes raw data into a '7-Layer Analysis' framework, covering everything from core product functionality and pricing strategies to team size and traction. This allows teams to make data-driven decisions for product positioning, investor presentations, and sales enablement strategies.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/okaris/competitor-teardown

Ensure that you have properly authenticated with the inference.sh CLI, as the skill relies on underlying API access to perform search, scraping, and browser automation tasks. You can verify your installation by running infsh login after the package is installed.

Use Cases

• Market Research: Rapidly map out a new market vertical by identifying key players and their unique value propositions.
• Investor Decks: Aggregate financial data, funding history, and team growth metrics to build a compelling competitive landscape slide.
• Product Strategy: Compare specific feature sets against top-tier competitors to identify 'white space' or product gaps.
• Sales Enablement: Generate battlecards for your sales team, including counter-messaging for competitor objections based on recent user reviews.
• UX Review: Analyze the user onboarding and pricing page layouts of competitors to inform your own conversion optimization experiments.

Example Prompts

1. "Perform a competitor teardown for Linear vs Jira; focus on the feature set, pricing tiers, and common user complaints from G2."
2. "Search for the latest funding rounds and recent 2024 news for my main competitor, [Company Name], and summarize their growth trajectory."
3. "Screenshot the sign-up flow and pricing page for [Company Name] and create a brief comparison matrix against our product features."

Tips & Limitations

• Depth vs. Breadth: Use broad queries for general market discovery, but utilize the infsh/agent-browser tool for deep-dive analysis on specific pages to ensure accurate visual capture.
• Rate Limiting: Because this skill performs extensive web interaction, ensure you are aware of target website terms of service and avoid aggressive, high-frequency scraping of a single domain.
• Synthesizing Data: The raw output is often voluminous. Ask the agent to 'structure this as a markdown table' to get the best results when requesting feature comparisons or SWOT summaries.
