Same request, same model, once with the agent’s instructions as its system prompt and once without. Neither could use a tool. Read both and judge for yourself.

The tasks

written by Carte Blanche

example-1

“We're a 12-person startup selling a scheduling tool for independent physical therapy clinics. Pricing is $49/month per provider. Our main rivals are Jane App and SimplePractice, and we also lose deals to clinics just using Google Calendar plus spreadsheets. Can you map our direct and indirect competitors, benchmark us against the leader on pricing, features and onboarding, and suggest three ways to sharpen our positioning?”

example-2

“I run a small specialty coffee subscription company with about 3,000 subscribers. Trade Coffee and Blue Bottle's subscription are the big names, and I think grocery store premium beans are quietly eating into our market. Our edge is small-batch roasting and flexible delivery pauses, but churn is around 9% monthly. Please do a competitive analysis and recommend strategies to defend and strengthen our market position.”

Install

Download the .zip and unzip it. Put competitive-analyst.md here:

Claude Code~/.claude/agents/Every project. For one project only, use .claude/agents/ inside it. It gives the agent the tools it asks for, and no others.

Cursor~/.cursor/agents/Cursor also reads the Claude Code folder above. It has no tools field, so it gives every agent every tool, whatever this one asks for.

CodexCodex’s custom agents are TOML files, not Markdown, so this agent doesn’t install there.

Keep its license file beside it, as competitive-analyst.LICENSE: a name that doesn’t end in .md, since every .md file there is read as an agent.

Then start a new session and ask for it by name. Folders checked 6 November 2026.

Or install from your agent: ask it to install competitive-analyst from Carte Blanche.
