SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When designing a product feature, teams often guess at UX patterns or copy whatever looks attractive, without evidence of what actually works at scale. This Skill structures competitive product research so decisions are grounded in how market leaders solved the same experience problem. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Product Comparison: Evaluates selected products across nine dimensions: UX, onboarding, navigation, information architecture, interaction, empty states, errors, mobile, and terminology. - Convergence and Divergence Analysis: Identifies patterns all leading products share (mature patterns to adopt) versus areas where they differ (opportunities to differentiate). - Confidence-Graded Evidence: Tags every finding as CONFIRMED, HIGH CONFIDENCE, POSSIBLE, or SPECULATIVE so downstream decisions weigh evidence quality. - Use Case: Before building a signup flow, research how 3-6 market-leading products handle onboarding, record concrete evidence per dimension, and produce a synthesis with recommendations adapted to your context. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run market research on how leading products handle onboarding for a task management app and synthesize the convergent patterns.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I do competitive UX research for a product feature?▼

Select 3-6 market-leading products that solved the same experience problem, then evaluate each across UX, onboarding, navigation, information architecture, interaction, empty states, errors, mobile, and terminology. Record concrete evidence of what each product does, then synthesize convergent and divergent patterns.

How many products should I compare in a market research analysis?▼

Compare 3-6 leading products for a focused decision. Comparing too many products is overengineering for small decisions, while too few weakens the convergence signal. Prioritize market leaders with accessible products over visually appealing designs.

What dimensions should a UX competitor benchmark cover?▼

Cover nine dimensions: overall UX, onboarding, navigation, information architecture, interaction feedback, empty states, error communication, mobile behavior, and terminology consistency. Record what each product actually does per dimension rather than subjective opinions.

Can I evaluate a product's UX from screenshots or videos only?▼

Yes, but findings inferred from screenshots or descriptions must be graded as POSSIBLE rather than CONFIRMED. Confidence levels range from CONFIRMED (observed across multiple leaders) down to SPECULATIVE (assumptions without seeing the real experience).

When should I not copy a competitor's UX pattern?▼

Avoid copying when the competitor's context differs from yours, such as B2B enterprise patterns applied to consumer apps. Market convergence signals what works at scale, but every pattern must be adapted to your product, audience, and context rather than copied directly.
