## Description

Track competitor pricing and packaging as a diffable time series. Use when monitoring tiers, gates, limits, and price moves on a monthly or quarterly cadence.

# Pricing & Packaging Tracker

## Purpose

Track competitor pricing and packaging as a **diffable time series**, not a screenshot: **capture (or
diff) → structure changes → price changes → signals → next-step options.** The stable capture schema
is the point, run N diffs against run N-1, so the report is what *moved*, with evidence. And the
skill watches structure as closely as numbers, because packaging changes (gates, limits, tier
restructures) usually signal strategy earlier than price changes do: a tier that disappears telegraphs
a move upmarket months before the price list admits it.

## Input

**Works best with:** the competitor set to track (or the snapshot they came from), and the prior
pricing capture if one exists, that's what turns this run into a delta report.
**Also useful:** your own pricing context, if the comparison should include you.

Input supplied inline with the invocation, text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an
appended `ARGUMENTS:` line, counts as answers already given. Use it against the question budget;
don't re-ask.

**Arriving empty-handed? That works too.** With no prior capture the skill runs **baseline mode**:
full capture per competitor, and the delta value starts next run. With no competitor list, it asks, that's one of its two budget questions.

**Example invocation:** `Pricing tracker on [Competitor A], [Competitor B], [Competitor C], prior
capture from April pasted below.`
