dbs-benchmark helps your assistant choose one benchmark that earns a lot, that you can understand and that you can copy. It runs candidates through five filters, then writes out the benchmark's chain of getting customers, converting, delivering and repeat sales, plus a copy path. The core rule is to copy what the benchmark does, detail by detail, and to drop talk about how you differ.

It triggers when you ask to find a benchmark, pick someone to imitate or analyze a competitor reference. With a search tool it looks up public information; without one it gives a first direction and asks you for candidate accounts, shops or links. The folder holds 5 files including SKILL.md and bundles no scripts. The README licenses dbskill under CC BY-NC 4.0, for non-commercial use.

Good for

  • Founders choosing which competitor or peer to model
  • Creators and sellers on content platforms comparing against top accounts
  • Anyone who keeps saying 'but my case is different'

What it includes

  • Copy first, match every detail, judge by profit only, ignore who you are

    Copy first, match every detail, judge by profit only, aim at a benchmark earning about 10x your goal, ignore who you are

    Six core rules

  • Reads your words and attachments first, then restates the core question

    Reads your words, links and screenshots, then notes your state, target income and any candidates

    Step 0: read your material

  • Runs them through the five filters and gives a verdict

    Path A: you have candidates

  • Finds more profitable peers; uses public information if a search tool exists

    Finds more profitable peers; with a search tool it uses public information and names sources

    Network · Path B: business, no candidates

  • Gives the method and a candidate list ranked by profit and ease of copying

    Gives the method and a candidate list ranked by profit and ease of copying; asks one question if no direction

    Path C: not started yet

  • Compares you with it item by item; each difference needs your reason or gets aligned

    Path D: one benchmark chosen

  • Profit about 10x your goal; estimates are labeled as guesses with their basis

    Filter 1: does it make money?

  • Can you write its customer chain as an SOP a new hire could follow?

    Filter 2: can you understand it?

  • Licenses, exclusive channels and capital limits count; skills you can learn do not

    Filter 3: can you copy it?

  • Only when your words show it: quotes you and asks which step you cannot do

    Filter 4: leave yourself out

  • Industry outlook and red-ocean talk are not used to judge candidates

    Filter 5: skip 'business essence'

  • Health, caregiving or capital limits are recorded as real, and you decide

    Real difficulties

Permissions

Low risk

This skill works from what you type and from public information a search tool finds. Treat its earnings estimates as guesses.

What it can do

  • Read your data
  • Create and change things
  • Delete things
  • Read-only mode

Watch out for

  • It may search the web for candidates

    SKILL.md says it uses public information when a search tool exists and names the source. Without one it asks you for links. github.com

  • It estimates a competitor's earnings

    The skill labels estimates as guesses with their basis and says it invents no revenue figures. Treat every number as a rough guess. github.com

Questions

What does dbs-benchmark do?

It picks a business or account worth imitating, using five filters, and lays out how to copy it. It then compares your setup with the benchmark item by item.

How do I install dbs-benchmark?

Use the install box at the top of this page. For Claude Code the README documents a plugin that installs only this skill, and the skills CLI also works. Run install commands in a terminal, not in the agent chat.

Does it work in English?

Yes. The skill text is Chinese, but it says to reply in English when you write in English.

Does it copy someone's content?

Not whole texts. The skill says to copy approach, structure and visible details. A hook line may be reused word for word, but whole texts, footage, images and trademarks are not copied directly, and it warns about plagiarism risk.

Is dbs-benchmark safe to install?

The folder holds SKILL.md, an agent config file and three reference notes, and it bundles no scripts. SKILL.md says it uses public information when your assistant has a search tool. Share only what you are comfortable pasting into your assistant. Saving a conclusion is done by a separate skill, /dbs-save, which the README says writes to ~/.dbs/.

Can I use it for my company's paid work?

Check with the author first. The README and LICENSE say CC BY-NC 4.0, for personal study, research and non-commercial use. GitHub shows no detected license.

How is it different from dbs-diagnosis?

dbs-benchmark picks who to copy and how. The README describes dbs-diagnosis as judging whether a business problem holds up or checking a whole business.
