# Competitive Analyzer Skill

## Overview
Surfaces competitive intelligence and market signals relevant to your organization. Can be invoked directly or runs as part of the `/today` daily standup.

## Configuration
Read intelligence targets from `.claude/config/organization.json`:
- `competitors` - Companies to track for competitive intelligence
- `partners` - Partners to monitor for news and signals
- `industry_news_sources` - Publications to check for trends

## Activation
- Direct: "What's happening with competitors?" or "Competitive analysis"
- Automatic: Invoked by `/today` command

## Intelligence Categories

### 1. Competitors
Track companies defined in `organization.json` `competitors` array:
- Product launches and feature announcements
- Partnership wins and customer announcements
- Funding rounds and acquisitions
- Leadership changes

### 2. Industry News
Monitor publications defined in `organization.json` `industry_news_sources` array:
- Market trends and shifts
- Regulatory changes
- Technology adoption patterns

### 3. Partner & Market Signals
Track partners defined in `organization.json` `partners` array:
- Product launches and expansions
- Distribution partnerships
- Technology investments
- Leadership changes

## Output Format

When invoked, produce a concise digest:

```markdown
## Competitive Intel

### Competitor Activity
- [Competitor]: [What happened] - [Why it matters]

### Industry Trends
- [Trend]: [Summary] - [Relevance to your roadmap]

### Partner Signals
- [Partner]: [News] - [Potential impact on relationship]

### Key Takeaway
[One sentence on most actionable insight]
```

## Behavior Guidelines

1. **Recency matters**: Prioritize news from last 7 days
2. **Relevance filter**: Only surface items that could impact your roadmap or partner relationships
3. **Actionable framing**: Always include "why it matters" context
4. **Brevity**: This is a digest, not a report. 3-5 bullets per category max
5. **No fluff**: Skip generic industry news that doesn't inform decisions

## Web Search Queries

When gathering intel, use targeted searches based on config:
- `"[Competitor name]" product launch OR announcement [current year]`
- `"[Partner name]" news OR announcement [current year]`
- `[Industry] trends [current year]`
- `[Industry] funding announcement [current year]`

Replace placeholders with actual values from `organization.json`.

## Integration with /today

When called from `/today`, output should be condensed to fit the daily standup format:
- Max 5 total items across all categories
- Lead with most actionable item
- Link to sources for follow-up reading
