v1.5.0 — Know Your Market
What's new since v1.3.0
/product-teardown skill (v1.4.0)
New skill for tearing down competitor products: features, UX flows, architecture, and growth mechanics. Complements /analyze-competitors deep dives with product-level analysis. Three depth levels (light/standard/deep). JTBD-per-feature analysis, user journey walkthrough, and synthesis with steal/counter/ignore recommendations.
/analyze-competitors v1.5.0
Synthesis is its own mode. No longer silently activated inside landscape. Distinct trigger phrases, inventory step with staleness checks, cross-cutting analysis (convergence, divergence, gaps, threat ranking) instead of per-competitor summaries. Flags missing teardowns instead of guessing.
Audience and tone. Output adapts when the PM says who it's for: exec (strategic, concise), sales (win/loss, objections), engineering (architecture, tech stack). Defaults to PM-level detail.
Edge cases handled. Empty-directory fallbacks for internal intel (deep dive, landscape, monitoring). Duplicate detection asks before creating a second deep dive. Paywalled source guidance for G2/Capterra/Gartner.
Cleaner structure. Four top-level workflow sections (Landscape, Synthesis, Deep dive, Monitoring) replace nested subsections. Dropped redundant frontmatter status field.
Competitive landscape synthesis
/analyze-competitors landscape mode now auto-detects when 3+ deep dives or teardowns exist and offers synthesis vs fresh research. Synthesis reads all existing analysis and produces cross-competitor patterns, positioning map, capability landscape, and strategic bets.
New templates
- Product teardown template with frontmatter (product, company, persona, goal, depth level)
- Competitive landscape template redesigned with market overview, direct vs adjacent competitors, capability & UX landscape, pricing/GTM patterns, and implications sections
