Competitor Intel

Purpose

Provide data-backed competitive intelligence by researching real signals across the web, no assumptions, no made-up numbers.

---

Execution Logic

Check $ARGUMENTS first to determine execution mode:

If $ARGUMENTS is empty or not provided:

Respond with: "competitor-intel loaded, proceed with competitor name and any context (website, industry, etc.)"

Then wait for the user to provide their requirements in the next message.

If $ARGUMENTS contains content:

Proceed immediately to Task Execution (skip the "loaded" message).

Task Execution

When user requirements are available (either from initial $ARGUMENTS or follow-up message):

1. Check for Business Context (Optional)

Check if FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md exists in the project root.

• If it exists: Read it to understand your company's positioning, strengths, and goals, this informs the leverage strategies.
• If it doesn't exist: Proceed with analysis focused purely on competitor weaknesses.

2. Extract Input

From the user's requirements, extract:

• Competitor name (required)
• Competitor website (if provided)
• Industry/vertical (if provided)
• Specific areas of interest (if provided)

3. Research Phase, MANDATORY WEB SEARCH

This skill REQUIRES web search. Do not proceed without searching.

Execute web searches across these sources:
