Competitive Intel Skill

A portable Agent Skill for sizing up a company, product, or market. It combines you-research synthesis with you-contents page extraction through the standard You.com MCP server so the agent produces a consistent brief covering positioning, traction, pricing, recent moves, and sources.

What You’ll Build

A SKILL.md package that turns company, product, or market prompts into a fixed competitive brief. The skill uses you-research for synthesis and you-contents for high-signal primary pages such as pricing, product docs, and recent company announcements.

When It Fires

The user names a company or market and wants it structured: positioning, traction, pricing, and recent moves.

Prerequisites

Install the Skill

1. Connect your agent harness to the You.com MCP server — see the MCP server guide.
2. Save the skill below as SKILL.md in your harness’s skills directory (or download it).
3. The agent invokes you-research and you-contents whenever the trigger fires.
