Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
By davepoon/buildwithclaude (GitHub) · coding · 3,737 stars · scanned at commit b8e39b9
Manages the founder's competitive landscape — discovering competitors, updating existing competitor files, adding new ones, and dispatching ad-hoc research. Use when the founder wants to explore competitors, do competitive research, update a competitor profile, or understand who else is solving their problem.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'competitors' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'competitors' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named competitors already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/davepoon/buildwithclaude' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'b8e39b909f5e248090b16b2fd62048ba0ac6a70e' -- 'plugins/startup-superpowers/skills/competitors' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/startup-superpowers/skills/competitors' ~/.agents/skills/'competitors' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'competitors' ~/.claude/skills/'competitors' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
