When to use it
Good for the messy moment before you know what to search.
Most founders do a quick Google pass and move on. This gives you a better way to find startup competitors: directories, launch language, and adjacent products in one place.
You have an idea and want to know if the obvious competitors already exist.
You found one competitor and need the nearby cluster, fast.

You need enough signal to decide whether to keep researching with Agent Skills.
Method
Quick first, then skills when you want depth in-repo.
Describe the startup idea
A URL, product name, or half-formed concept is enough. The tool normalizes the query before it searches.
