Acknowledgement: Shared by Peter Bamuhigire, techguypeter.com, +256 784 464178.

Use When

• Competitive analysis toolkit for product managers. Covers Porter's Five Forces applied to software product decisions, win/loss analysis, competitor teardown template, market positioning map, Jobs-to-be-Done competitive lens, and Red Ocean vs Blue...
• The task needs reusable judgment, domain constraints, or a proven workflow rather than ad hoc advice.

Do Not Use When

• The task is unrelated to competitive-analysis-pm or would be better handled by a more specific companion skill.
• The request only needs a trivial answer and none of this skill's constraints or references materially help.

Required Inputs

• Gather relevant project context, constraints, and the concrete problem to solve.
• Confirm the desired deliverable: design, code, review, migration plan, audit, or documentation.
