SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires gh, yq.

What problem does it solve?

Managing multiple competition entries, strategies, and results across different platforms can be chaotic and lead to missed deadlines or lost information. This Skill centralizes all competition-related information by storing each competition as a GitHub issue, ensuring nothing gets lost and you stay organized.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • GitHub Issue Integration: Creates a dedicated GitHub issue for each competition, serving as a central hub for all related data, comments, and updates.
  • Smart Deduplication: Prevents duplicate entries by fuzzy matching titles and checking URLs, adding new sources as comments to existing issues instead of creating redundant ones.
  • Comprehensive Tracking: Logs strategy analysis, entry drafts, submission confirmations, and winner notifications as issue comments, providing a complete history.
  • Use Case: Automatically create GitHub issues for all new competitions you discover, assign them to relevant milestones, and track their progress from scraping to submission and results, all within a single, organized repository.

Quick Start

Save the "Win $500 Coles Gift Card" competition (closing Dec 31) and the "Win a Trip to Bali" competition (closing Jan 15) to my GitHub competition tracking repository.
