What Market Scan does

Re-scans named competitors and the market category for changes since the founder's brief, surfacing positioning threats or opportunities and updating documentation accordingly. Use when a rival rebrands, a new tool appears, or market shifts are sensed.

Market Scan is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Market Scan comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, ai, ai-founders, claude and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Market scan (keep your read current)

Positioning rots. The competitor you sized up six months ago has since rebranded, raised, repriced, or renamed the category. This is the habit that keeps your brief honest about the world outside it.

Use this when: a rival just rebranded or repositioned, a new tool is getting attention in your space, your docs/gtm-cofounder/founder-brief.md competitor answers are more than a quarter old, or you just have the feeling the ground moved and your messaging is answering last year's market.

The core idea

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

Founder-Led Content
