Works in Claude, ChatGPT, and coding agents. On Team and Business, the official skill in your pod updates itself when we improve it.
When to use it
- Before designing onboarding, pricing, or a feature a competitor already has
- After someone trials a rival product and has notes
What you give it
- Competitor name and evidence with dates seen
- What the team wants to learn
- Your own product's equivalent (optional)
What you get
A teardown with an onboarding table, pricing table, core loop, strengths, gaps, copy/don't copy/stand out, and a list to verify.
How it works
- Tag every claim's source
- Map onboarding step by step
- Lay out pricing and packaging
- Describe the core loop
- List strengths and gaps
- Decide what to copy, what not to, and where to stand out
- List what to verify next
Example
What you give it
Signed up for Ledgerly. Step 1: email + password. Step 2: 'What do you do?' dropdown, 12 options. Step 3: connect bank — can skip. Step 4: template picker for first invoice, prefilled with sample client. Sent a test invoice in about 4 minutes. No card asked. Pricing page: Free (5 invoices/month), Pro, Team — I didn't note Pro price. Every sent invoice has 'Sent with Ledgerly' footer. Reminder email to me next day: 'Your invoice was viewed.' I heard they're raising prices.
What you get back (the start of it)
Teardown: Ledgerly — onboarding and pricing
Evidence: trial notes, 2 May · Prepared: [date]
Summary
- A new user sends a first invoice in about 4 minutes with no card; the sample client removes the blank-page problem.
- The free plan's limit is invoices per month, so the upgrade trigger arrives with real usage.
- Every free invoice carries their brand to the user's clients.
