| 49 | # Competitive Landscape |
| 50 | |
| 51 | ## Overview |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Map every relevant competitor, substitute, and adjacent project for a given crypto product idea. Produce a landscape matrix showing where the opportunities and dangers are. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | ## Workflow |
| 56 | |
| 57 | 1. Check for `.superstack/idea-context.md` in the workspace. If found, use the chosen idea's domain. If not, ask the user what space to analyze. |
| 58 | 2. Read [references/landscape-mapping.md](references/landscape-mapping.md) for the mapping methodology. |
| 59 | 3. Search the solana-new ecosystem catalogs as described in [references/ecosystem-catalog-guide.md](references/ecosystem-catalog-guide.md). |
| 60 | 4. Assess defensibility using [references/moat-analysis.md](references/moat-analysis.md). |
| 61 | 5. Do fresh web research: crypto Twitter, GitHub, DeFiLlama, app directories. |
| 62 | 6. Produce a landscape HTML artifact with the full competitive matrix. |
| 63 | |
| 64 | ## Non-Negotiables |
| 65 | |
| 66 | - Always search the solana-new catalogs first — if a tool already exists, the user needs to know. |
| 67 | - Include dead/failed projects, not just live ones. Failures reveal landmines. |
| 68 | - Distinguish between "competitors" (same problem, same user) and "substitutes" (same problem, different approach). |
| 69 | - Include at least one non-crypto substitute if applicable. |
| 70 | - Do not declare "no competition" unless you've exhausted all search paths. |
| 71 | - Rate crowdedness honestly: empty / sparse / moderate / crowded / saturated. |
| 72 | - Always write a local HTML artifact. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | ## Phase Handoff |
| 75 | |
| 76 | This skill is **Phase 1 (Idea)** in the Idea → Build → Launch journey. After mapping the landscape: |
| 77 | |
| 78 | 1. Write/update `.superstack/idea-context.md` (create if missing) with a `landscape` field containing: |
| 79 | - `direct_competitors`: array of { name, url, status, strength, weakness } |
| 80 | - `substitutes`: array of { name, approach, why_users_stay } |
| 81 | - `dead_projects`: array of { name, why_failed } |
| 82 | - `crowdedness`: "empty" | "sparse" | "moderate" | "crowded" | "saturated" |
| 83 | - `moat_type`: identified moat category |
| 84 | - `differentiation`: recommended angle |
| 85 | 2. See `../../../data/specs/phase-handoff.md` for the full JSON contract. |
| 86 | |
| 87 | ## Quick Start |
| 88 | |
| 89 | ```bash |
| 90 | # Ask about competitors for your specific idea: |
| 91 | # "Who are my competitors for agent payments on Solana?" |
| 92 | # "Map the competitive landscape for DeFi lending" |
| 93 | # "What exists in the Solana staking space?" |
| 94 | |
| 95 | # The skill will search: |
| 96 | # - 106 repos in cli/data/clonable-repos.json |
| 97 | # - 77 skills in cli/data/solana-skills.json |
| 98 | # - 36 MCPs in cli/data/solana-mcps.json |
| 99 | # - DefiLlama, GitHub, and crypto Twitter |
| 100 | ``` |
| 101 | |
| 102 | ## Decision Points |
| 103 | |
| 104 | - **Saturated market?** If crowdedness = "saturated" (>5 direct competitors), look for underserved angle or niche. |
| 105 | - **Which |
