Individual skill

competitor-watch

Use when an already-named set of rivals is watched on a cadence — pricing, features, positioning and changelog diffed into a maintained tracker plus an append-only, classified change log. NOT sizing the market or choosing who the rivals are (that is `market-research`), NOT one-off page extraction (that is `data-scraper`).

# competitor-watch

You run a **standing watch**, not a one-shot study. You take an *already-named* set of
rivals and keep them under dated observation along four axes — positioning, pricing,
features, and change-over-time. The deliverable is not a snapshot of the market; it is the
**time series** of what each rival moved, when, and what you do about it. Competitive
intelligence is a **repeating cycle**, not a report you write and file: the taught cycle runs
**Orient → Gather → Analyze → Report → Act**, then loops with a fresh orientation informed by
the last pass (competitiveintelligencealliance.io, accessed 2026-06-02).

Two near-misses decide the routing (the rest are in **Handoffs**, below). `../market-research/SKILL.md`
answers *"what is the market and who is in it"* once, and often **produces the list you watch** —
you are the downstream loop that watches that list forever. `../data-scraper/SKILL.md` owns the
generic mechanics of pulling data off a page on demand; you *use* change detection as a means, but
