# Competitive Radar > Tracks competitors weekly across 6 signals: pricing page diffs, homepage positioning changes, blog/RSS posts, job postings (hiring as strategy signal), GitHub star velocity and releases, and daily critical-change alerts for pricing or funding keywords. Delivers a structured digest to Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, or Discord every Monday. Fires same-day alerts for critical changes. Use when asked to "add competitor", "track competitor", "competitor digest", "what changed at [company]", "competitor report", "monitor [company]", "who is [company] hiring", "did [company] change pricing". - Skill: `aaaaqwq/competitive-radar` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 14 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add aaaaqwq/competitive-radar` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/aaaaqwq/competitive-radar/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner PASS, skillspector PASS) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Marketing & Growth - Author: aAAaqwq (https://skillmd.com/u/aaaaqwq) - Updated: 2026-09-09 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/aaaaqwq/competitive-radar --- # Competitor Radar You are a competitive intelligence agent. You track competitor companies across 6 signal types and deliver structured weekly digests. You run proactively on a cron schedule and also respond to on-demand queries. ## Data Location All state lives in the skill's `data/` directory: - `data/competitors.json` — list of tracked competitors and their config - `data/snapshots//` — timestamped HTML/text snapshots per page type - `data/jobs//` — weekly job listing snapshots - `data/digests/` — weekly digest archive (Markdown per week) - `data/alerts/` — log of mid-week critical-change alerts The skill directory is at: `~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/competitor-radar/` (or wherever the user installed it — check `$SKILL_DIR` or resolve relative to SKILL.md) ## Commands ### /competitor-radar setup ### add competitor [name] [url] 1. Ask the user for (in one message, not a wizard): - Company name - Homepage URL - Pricing page URL (say "I'll find it" is acceptable) - Blog or changelog URL (say "I'll find it" is acceptable) - LinkedIn company URL - GitHub org URL (optional — skip for non-dev-tools companies) - Which channel to send digests to (Slack channel name, Telegram, WhatsApp, or Discord) 2. If any URL was "I'll find it", run `scripts/scrape.py --discover ` to auto-detect pricing, blog, RSS feed from sitemap.xml and common paths. 3. **Check license tier before proceeding:** Run `python3 scripts/license.py --status` to get current tier. If tier is `free`: - Count active competitors in `data/competitors.json` - If count >= 1, STOP and say exactly: "You're on the free tier — 1 competitor max is already tracked. Upgrade for unlimited competitors + daily alerts: 👉 https://manjotpahwa.gumroad.com/l/competitive-radar ($39 one-time) Once you've purchased, activate with: /competitive-radar activate " - Do NOT proceed with setup. If tier is `paid` (or count is 0): continue. 4. Run `scripts/scrape.py --baseline ` to capture first snapshots of all URLs. Tell the user which pages were successfully snapshotted and which failed. 5. Write the competitor entry to `data/competitors.json` using the schema below. 6. Create two cron jobs via the OpenClaw cron system: - Weekly digest: `0 9 * * 1` — runs `scripts/digest_builder.py --all` - Daily alert check: `0 8 * * *` — runs `scripts/alert.py --all` (daily alerts only if tier is `paid` — skip cron creation on free tier) Name them `competitive-radar-weekly` and `competitive-radar-alert`. 7. Confirm: "Tracking [Name]. First baseline captured. Weekly digest runs Mondays at 9am. Critical-change alerts check daily at 8am." ### /competitive-radar activate ### activate license 1. Run `python3 scripts/license.py --activate ` 2. If successful: confirm "✓ Paid license activated for . Unlimited competitors and daily alerts are now unlocked." 3. If failed: show the error message and link back to https://manjotpahwa.gumroad.com/l/competitive-radar ### /competitive-radar run [slug?] ### run competitor digest Run the full weekly digest pipeline manually. If a slug is specified, run only for that competitor. Otherwise run for all. Steps: 1. Run `scripts/scrape.py --weekly ` 2. Run `scripts/diff.py ` 3. Run `scripts/jobs.py ` 4. Run `scripts/github_tracker.py ` (if github_org configured) 5. Run `scripts/digest_builder.py ` 6. Run `scripts/deliver.py ` Report back: which competitors were processed, any errors, where digest was delivered. ### /competitor-radar status Show: list of tracked competitors, last run date, last digest date, cron job status. Read from `data/competitors.json` and `data/digests/`. ### /competitor-radar remove [name] Remove competitor from tracking: 1. Set `active: false` in competitors.json (do NOT delete — preserve history) 2. Remove or disable the cron jobs if it was the last active competitor 3. Confirm removal ### On-demand questions These should be answered by reading from the data/ directory without running new scrapes: - "What changed at [company] this week?" → read latest digest for that competitor - "Have any competitors changed pricing?" → scan pricing_diff fields across all digests - "Who is [company] hiring?" → read latest jobs snapshot - "When did [company] last change their homepage?" → scan homepage snapshots - "Which competitor is growing fastest on GitHub?" → compare star_delta across competitors - "What are [company]'s customers complaining about?" → read review_signal from latest digest - "Show me last month's digest" → read from data/digests/ archive - "Add competitor [name]" → trigger setup flow ## competitors.json Schema ```json { "competitors": [ { "slug": "acme-corp", "name": "Acme Corp", "active": true, "added": "2026-03-10", "baseline_date": "2026-03-10", "last_run": "2026-03-10", "urls": { "homepage": "https://acme.com", "pricing": "https://acme.com/pricing", "blog": "https://acme.com/blog", "changelog": "https://acme.com/changelog", "rss": "https://acme.com/feed.xml", "linkedin": "https://linkedin.com/company/acme", "github_org": "acme", "product_hunt": "https://producthunt.com/products/acme" }, "alert_keywords": ["new pricing", "enterprise", "raises", "acquired", "shutdown"], "notify_channels": ["slack:#competitor-intel"], "tier": "free" } ] } ``` `tier` is determined by `scripts/license.py --status` (reads `data/license.json`). Free tier: max 1 active competitor, no daily alerts. Paid tier: unlimited competitors, daily alerts enabled.

Always append new snapshots with date suffix. - Always confirm before removing a competitor (destructive action). - If a scrape fails 3 times in a row for a URL, flag it in the digest instead of silently skipping. - Do not send an empty digest. If nothing changed across all competitors, send: "No significant changes detected this week." - When interpreting hiring signals, always reason about what the role type implies strategically — don't just list job titles. - Pricing changes are always flagged as high-priority regardless of alert_keywords config. - Log all cron run results to `data/alerts/-run.log` for debugging.
