What problem does it solve? Keeping up with competitor moves manually means scanning dozens of newsrooms, changelogs, pricing pages, and press articles, then figuring out which stories actually matter. This Skill automates recurring competitor intelligence: it tracks a defined watchlist, deduplicates syndicated coverage into single events, filters by business significance, and delivers a digest citing primary sources. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Watchlist Setup: Freeze canonical company names, domains, aliases, event categories, cadence, and a materiality threshold into a persistent watch contract stored as a JSON state file. - Scheduled Ticks: Runs as a cronjob that incrementally collects news since the last cutoff, deduplicates by underlying event, and scores materiality against the contract. - Cited Digests: Reports each material event with evidence links, what changed, why it matters, and confidence — or stays silent when nothing qualifies. - Use Case: Ask the agent to monitor five competitors weekly; it builds source coverage across newsrooms, pricing pages, and regulatory filings, schedules a Monday 9am job, and delivers a digest only when something material happens, such as a pricing change or executive departure. ## Quick Start Set up a weekly competitor watch for Acme Corp, Globex, and Initech covering pricing changes, product launches, and funding events, and deliver the digest to me every Monday morning.
