# Competitive Analysis Workflow This skill drives a six-phase workflow that scopes a competitive question, researches competitors, drafts the survey and its implications, runs a three-reviewer jury, and finalizes through explicit human approval. It produces a COMP document. Use `/comp` to capture a competitive survey — the market slice, the competitors, a comparative matrix along named dimensions, the gaps it reveals, and what those gaps imply for our choices — as a durable artifact. Use `/prd` when the conversation is about what one feature does and why. Use `/brief` to frame a single feature's problem and scope. Use `/design` for technical architecture. Use `/explore` when you don't yet know which artifact you need. **Writing style:** Read `skills/writing-style/SKILL.md` for guidance. ## Artifact Lifecycle **Lifecycle:** Durable. Stays in `docs/competitive/` after completion. COMP is durable because the competitive analysis captured at survey time stays in the audit trail. Future readers tracing why a competitive decision was made need the COMP to remain in place. COMP is private-only; the lifecycle contract does not loosen that constraint. ## Comp Format See `references/comp-format.md` for the full format specification: frontmatter schema, the seven required sections, optional sections, section matrix, content boundaries, lifecycle states, validation rules, and per-section quality guidance. Load it during Phases 2, 3, and 4. ## File Location COMP documents live
