Competitor Scan Skill

Research how best-in-class products solve similar problems using Browser MCP for screenshots and WebSearch for teardowns.

When to Use

  • At the start of DIVERGE Loop (L1)
  • When exploring new UI patterns
  • When benchmarking against industry standards

Instructions

Phase 1: Identify Competitors

Use the domain competitor table:

DomainProducts to Study
Workspaces/CollaborationNotion, Linear, Slack, Figma, Attio
Data TablesAirtable, Retool, Rows, Grist
AI ChatChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity
Onboarding/FlowsStripe, Plaid, Mercury, Ramp
Settings/AdminVercel, Railway, PlanetScale
Invitations/TeamSlack, Notion, Linear, Figma
Billing/SubscriptionsStripe, Paddle, Chargebee

Phase 2: Screenshot Key Flows (Browser MCP)

For each relevant competitor:

1. browser_navigate to the product URL or relevant page
2. browser_snapshot to understand the page structure
3. browser_take_screenshot to capture the UI
4. browser_click / browser_type to navigate through flows

Capture:

  • Entry points (how users start the flow)
  • Key screens (main interactions)
  • Edge cases (empty states, errors)
  • Micro-interactions (hover states, transitions)

Phase 3: Research Teardowns (WebSearch)

Search for existing analysis:

WebSearch "[Product] UI teardown [feature]"
WebSearch "[Product] UX case study [feature]"
WebSearch "[Feature] best practices design patterns"

Phase 4: Extract Patterns

For each competitor, note:

AspectPattern
LayoutHow is content organized?
NavigationHow do users move between states?
ActionsHow are primary/secondary actions presented?
FeedbackHow is success/error communicated?
CopyWhat language/tone is used?
