Competitor Watch

Know what your competitors are doing before your customers tell you. This skill monitors competitor websites, social profiles, and online presence for changes — new pricing, product launches, messaging shifts, and hiring signals — so you can react strategically instead of being caught off guard.

Run it weekly on a cron, or trigger it when you want a competitive landscape check.

What You Get

  • Website change detection (pricing, features, messaging, new pages)
  • Social media activity summary (recent posts, engagement trends)
  • New job postings that signal strategic moves
  • Product or feature announcements
  • Competitive comparison snapshot
  • Setup

    Required

  • Competitor list — Names and URLs of competitors to monitor (minimum: website URL)
  • Optional (but recommended)

  • Social profiles — LinkedIn company pages, X handles, Instagram accounts for each competitor
  • Your own positioning — your pricing, features, and messaging for comparison
  • Alert channel — Telegram/Discord for real-time alerts on major changes
  • Watch history — folder to archive previous snapshots for trend tracking
  • Configuration

    Tell your agent:

    1. Competitors — list of companies to watch (name + website URL minimum) 2. Watch frequency — how often to check (default: weekly on Monday) 3. Focus areas — what to watch for (pricing, features, hiring, content, all) 4. Alert triggers — what warrants an immediate alert (pricing change, new product launch) 5. Comparison format — side-by-side vs. individual reports 6. Delivery — where to send reports (Telegram, Discord, file)

    How It Works

    Step 1: Define Watch Targets

    For each competitor, track:
  • Website: homepage, pricing page, features page, blog
  • Social: LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Instagram (if provided)
  • Careers: job postings page (signals growth areas)
  • Blog/news: recent content and announcements
  • Step 2: Scan Websites

    For each competitor's website:
  • Fetch key pages (homepage, pricing, features, about)
  • Compare against last snapshot (if available)
  • Flag changes: new copy, pricing updates, new features listed, removed features
  • Note new pages or sections added
  • Step 3: Scan Social Media

    For each competitor's social profiles:
  • Pull recent posts (last 7 days)
  • Summarize themes and messaging
  • Note engagement levels (high-performing posts)
  • Flag announcements, launches, or promotions
  • Step 4: Scan Job Postings

  • Check careers page or LinkedIn jobs
  • Identify new roles posted
  • Analyze what roles signal: engineering = building, sales = growing, marketing = pushing
  • Step 5: Compile Watch Report

    🔍 Competitor Watch — Week of [Date]

    ━━ [COMPETITOR 1] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌐 WEBSITE • [Change detected / No changes] • [Pricing updated: was $X, now $Y] • [New feature page: "AI Assistant"]

    📱 SOCIAL ACTIVITY • [X] posts this week (LinkedIn: [X], X: [X]) • Top post: "[summary]" — [engagement level] • Themes: [product launch / thought leadership / hiring push]

    💼 HIRING • [X] new job postings • Notable: [Senior AI Engineer, Head of Sales] • Signal: [investing in AI capabilities / scaling sales team]

    💡 TAKEAWAY: [1-sentence strategic implication]

    ━━ [COMPETITOR 2] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ [Same format]

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    📊 COMPETITIVE SNAPSHOT | Area | You | Comp 1 | Comp 2 | |---|---|---|---| | Pricing | $X/mo | $Y/mo | $Z/mo | | Key Feature| [feature] | [feature] | [feature] | | Hiring | [X] roles | [X] roles | [X] roles |

    ⚡ ACTION ITEMS • [Consider matching Comp 1's price drop] • [Comp 2 launched feature X — evaluate if we need it] • [Comp 1 hiring aggressively in sales — expect more outreach]

    Step 6: Deliver & Archive

  • Send report via configured channel
  • Save snapshot to memory/competitor-watch/YYYY-MM-DD.md
  • If alert triggers are hit (pricing change, major launch), send immediate notification
  • Keep historical data for trend analysis
  • Examples

    User: "Watch these competitors: Acme AI (acmeai.com), BotForge (botforge.io), AutoPilot Pro (autopilotpro.com)"

    Agent: Adds to watch list, runs initial scan, delivers first report with baseline data.

    User: "What are my competitors up to?"

    Agent runs the scan and delivers the full watch report.

    User: "Did anyone change their pricing this week?"

    Agent: Checks pricing pages specifically, reports any changes detected since last scan.
