Research and screenshots run through the belt CLI with the tavily, exa and infsh/agent-browser apps. It needs belt installed and signed in.

Install competitor-teardown

Claude Code

Copy this prompt.

Install the competitor-teardown skill in Claude Code. Run this command:

npx skills add https://github.com/inference-sh/skills --skill competitor-teardown

Then check that it loaded and tell me how to use it.

2
Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Node.js.

Pick one route for the skill, then install the belt CLI with one of the belt routes and run belt login. Every command in SKILL.md is a belt app run call, and its allowed-tools line is Bash(belt *), so the skill does nothing without belt. The folder holds 1 file, SKILL.md (repo tree). It runs belt in a shell, so there is no Claude app upload route.

Built from the package data we hold. Not yet tested by us.

Watch out for

Each run uses inference.sh credits
SKILL.md does not list a price for the apps it calls. The belt README shows belt balance to check credits and belt app pricing to see the cost formula before a run. github.com
Your prompts and files go to inference.sh
Every belt app run sends its input to an inference.sh app. The belt README says local file paths in an input are uploaded by the CLI. github.com
You must install the belt CLI first
The belt README gives a download-and-review install script, Homebrew, npm and Scoop. cli-install.md in the repo says the installer downloads a binary and checks its SHA-256 checksum. The belt skill named in SKILL.md can also run brew install and npm install -g. github.com

Questions

What does the competitor-teardown skill do?

It guides Claude through a structured competitor analysis. It sets out a 7-layer framework and templates for a feature matrix, pricing comparison, SWOT, positioning map and review mining, with commands for web research and screenshots.

How do I install it?

Use the install box at the top of this page for the skill. You also need the belt CLI from inference.sh, installed with one of the belt routes in the box, and a belt login. There is no Claude app upload route because the skill runs belt in a shell.

Does it need an account or API key?

It needs an inference.sh sign-in through belt login. SKILL.md names no separate API key. The belt README shows belt balance for credits and belt app pricing for the cost of an app.

Is it safe?

It runs belt app run commands through your shell. Each run sends your prompt and any files or URLs you give it to inference.sh and uses credits. The belt CLI has to be installed first, so read its install steps before you run them.

Is there another copy of this skill?

skills.sh also lists this skill under 101-skills/superpowers, a repo whose plugin.json names inference.sh as author and inference-sh/skills as the repository. This page links to inference-sh/skills, the repo the plugin.json points to.

Who publishes this skill?

inference.sh, in its own repo github.com/inference-sh/skills. The repo's plugin.json lists inference.sh as author and https://inference.sh as homepage.

Which apps does it call?

The commands in SKILL.md use tavily/search-assistant, tavily/extract, exa/search, infsh/agent-browser, infsh/python-executor and infsh/stitch-images, all through belt app run.

Which other skills does it point to?
