Test it

Using "competitor-teardown". Compare our project management tool with three direct competitors.

Expected outcome:

  • Feature matrix covering collaboration, API access, SSO, reports, mobile applications, free tiers, and integrations.
  • Pricing table documenting billing terms, minimum seats, annual discounts, setup fees, and usage charges.
  • Summary identifying verified strengths, gaps, and opportunities.

Using "competitor-teardown". Analyze recent customer reviews for a competitor.

Expected outcome:

  • Most praised: fast setup, broad integrations, and responsive support.
  • Most complained: complex permissions, annual contracts, and limited reporting.
  • Opportunity: simplify administration and provide flexible monthly plans.

Using "competitor-teardown". Create a positioning view for four products.

Expected outcome:

A two-axis map using self-serve versus sales-led and specialized versus general, with evidence notes for every placement.

Security Audit

Medium Risk
v3 • 7/13/2026 Open versioned report

Nine findings are confirmed: unpinned npx installation commands and belt workflows that invoke external search, browser, code-execution, and image-processing services. The other 30 findings are Markdown syntax, documentation links, placeholder URLs, or comparison text. External processing can disclose research inputs, but no malicious intent, credential theft, destructive command, or prompt injection was found.

SKILL.md:21-29SKILL.md:212-216SKILL.md:288-293
Third-Party Research Data Disclosure
The belt workflows submit research queries, target URLs, screenshots, and plotting code to external inference.sh apps. Confidential inputs could leave the local environment.
The commands explicitly pass queries, URLs, code, and image paths to named belt applications. The external processing is clear, although disclosure impact depends on user input.
Capability review items (9)

These are real local capabilities that may be expected for this skill, so they require review but are not counted as confirmed malicious behavior.

SKILL.md:7
Ruby/shell backtick execution
> **Install the belt CLI skill:** `npx skills add belt-sh/cli`
The line recommends running npx to install a remote skill package. This executes third-party package tooling and introduces supply-chain risk.
Medium
SKILL.md:17-30
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The fenced block contains belt login and belt app run commands on lines 18-29. They execute an external CLI and submit input to remote apps.
Medium
SKILL.md:51-66
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The fenced Bash block runs three belt app commands for external search services on lines 53-65. This is intentional external command execution.
Medium
SKILL.md:70-85
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The block runs belt commands for search and extraction services on lines 72-84. These commands invoke external applications with supplied inputs.
Medium
SKILL.md:89-107
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The block invokes the belt browser app three times on lines 91-105. It intentionally runs an external command and accesses supplied URLs.
Medium
SKILL.md:212-217
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The Bash block invokes belt's Python executor with plotting code on lines 214-216. This intentionally submits code to an external execution service.
Medium
SKILL.md:242-252
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The Bash block runs belt search applications on lines 244-251. These are intentional external commands that transmit research queries.
Medium
SKILL.md:288-294
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The Bash block invokes the belt image-stitching application on lines 290-293. This executes an external command with supplied image paths.
Medium
SKILL.md:309-312
Ruby/shell backtick execution
```bash
The block recommends two npx skill-installation commands on lines 310-311. Running unpinned remote packages introduces external execution and supply-chain risk.

What You Can Build

Plan product strategy

Compare direct competitors across product capabilities, pricing, positioning, traction, reviews, content, and team signals.

Prepare a market landscape

Create an evidence-based summary, SWOT set, and positioning map for planning or investor discussions.

Equip sales conversations

Document verified feature differences, plan restrictions, competitor strengths, and switching triggers for competitive sales guidance.

Try These Prompts

Create a basic teardown 
Create a seven-layer teardown of [competitor] for [market]. Use public sources, cite dates, and separate facts from assumptions.
Compare features and pricing 
Compare [our product] with [competitors] across features and pricing. Note plan restrictions, missing evidence, source dates, and competitor strengths.
Mine customer reviews 
Analyze reviews for [competitor] across [sources]. Group praise, complaints, switching triggers, and requests, then explain product opportunities.
Build an executive report 
Build an executive competitive report for [audience] covering market context, SWOT, positioning axes, evidence quality, strategic implications, and monitoring priorities.

Best Practices

  • Date every source and distinguish verified facts from assumptions.
  • Limit focus to three to five direct competitors with comparable users and use cases.
  • Include competitor strengths and explain strategic implications after each section.

Avoid

  • Do not present outdated prices, ratings, or market figures without source dates.
  • Do not rank competitors using vague axes such as good versus bad.
  • Do not send confidential plans, customer data, credentials, or private screenshots to external research services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this skill collect data automatically?
It provides belt commands for search, extraction, screenshots, Python execution, and image stitching. Automated steps require configured third-party applications.
Can I use the framework without belt?
Yes. You can apply the matrices and report formats manually, but automated research and visual generation require belt.
Does the skill verify competitor claims?
No. Results depend on external sources, so you must verify important claims, prices, ratings, and dates.
How many competitors should I analyze?
Focus on three to five direct competitors. Add adjacent alternatives only when they influence customer decisions.
Can it create visual deliverables?
Yes. It includes workflows for screenshots, positioning maps, and stitched comparison images through external belt applications.
How often should I refresh the teardown?
Refresh it quarterly and after major pricing, product, funding, or positioning changes.
