FAQPage Schema
How do I automate daily web scraping and deduplication across multiple competition sites?▼

This Skill automates end-to-end web scraping with built-in deduplication by checking URLs and titles against existing GitHub issues, then drafting entries and sending notifications—all on a cron schedule with zero manual intervention.

Can I run a competition workflow unattended on a schedule without human prompts?▼

Yes. The Skill orchestrates cron-based scraping, analysis, composition, and digest notifications in a fully unattended workflow, requiring only a one-time cron entry to execute daily at your chosen time.

What's the best way to prevent duplicate competition entries across multiple data sources?▼

This Skill implements strict cross-site deduplication by performing URL and title similarity checks against existing GitHub issues before persisting new entries, ensuring each competition is tracked only once.

How does this integrate with GitHub issues and command-line tools for competition management?▼

The Skill integrates directly with the gh CLI to check and create GitHub issues, uses Playwright for robust scraping, and reads CLAUDE.md-driven user preferences to customize collection and analysis behavior.

Does this Skill support email notifications for new competition findings?▼

Yes. The Skill includes optional SMTP-based digest alerts that notify stakeholders of newly found competitions after the daily workflow completes, configurable through your preferences.

Can I extend this workflow to add new competition sources or analysis steps?▼

The Skill's modular design is built for extensibility—you can easily adapt it to new scraping sources or add additional analysis and composition steps without restructuring the core workflow.
