Claude 572b8acf8c Add multi-platform export generator (single source of truth)
Make the library multi-platform without duplicating content. Each
skills/<name>/SKILL.md body remains the single source of truth; a new
generator renders platform-ready exports from it.

- scripts/build-exports.mjs — dependency-free Node generator with a PLATFORMS
  registry so new platforms (Gemini, Cursor, …) are a few lines. Ships ChatGPT
  exports at exports/chatgpt/<bundle>/<skill>/SYSTEM_PROMPT.md (172 skills),
  plus generated index READMEs. Supports --platform and --check.
- exports/ — generated ChatGPT system prompts, ready to paste into a Custom GPT.
- .github/workflows/check-generated.yml — fails a PR if exports or
  web/skills.json drift from the source skills.
- README "Works With" now documents the ready-to-use exports and regen command.
- CHANGELOG + SKILL-AUTHORING-STANDARD note the generated artifacts.

Competitor Signal Tracker Skill

Turn scattered competitor information into structured strategic intelligence — not just "what they did" but "what it means for us."

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Competitor name(s) and the signals/updates to analyse
  • Your product's current roadmap or strategic priorities (to assess relevance)
  • Time period the signals cover (this week, this month, etc.)

Signal Categories to Track

  • Product signals: New features, removals, UX changes, beta programmes
  • Pricing signals: Changes to tiers, free limits, enterprise terms
  • Hiring signals: Job postings that reveal strategic bets (e.g., hiring ML engineers = AI investment)
  • Partnership signals: Integrations, acquisitions, ecosystem moves
  • Messaging signals: Changes in positioning, target audience, value proposition

Process

  1. For each competitor update provided, categorise the signal type
  2. Assess: Is this reactive (responding to market) or proactive (setting direction)?
  3. Rate strategic threat level: High / Medium / Low / Watch
  4. Connect to your roadmap: does this accelerate, validate, or challenge any of your bets?
  5. Recommend a response: Accelerate existing initiative / Deprioritise / Monitor / Investigate further
  6. Validate — Confirm every High threat has a specific recommended response with an owner. "Monitor" is not an acceptable response for High-rated threats.

Output Structure

Competitive Intelligence Report — [Date]

[Competitor Name]

Signal: [What they did] Signal Type: [Product / Pricing / Hiring / Partnership / Messaging] Reactive or Proactive: [assessment] Threat Level: [High / Medium / Low / Watch] Implication for Us: [Specific connection to our roadmap or strategy] Recommended Response: [Action + owner + timeline]

Strategic Summary

[2-3 sentences on the overall competitive landscape shift this period]

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not rate a signal as High threat without explaining the specific roadmap item or customer segment it threatens — unjustified threat ratings lose credibility over time
  • Do not treat a hiring signal as definitive proof of a strategic bet — hiring signals require corroboration from product, messaging, or pricing signals before acting on them
  • Do not conflate a competitor's announcement with a competitor's shipped capability — press releases and blog posts often describe aspirations, not production features
  • Do not recommend "accelerate existing initiative" for every High signal — sometimes the right response is to differentiate harder in an adjacent area rather than race the competitor directly

Quality Checks

  • Every signal is categorised (not just described)
  • Threat level is justified — not assigned arbitrarily
  • High-threat signals have specific recommended responses (not "monitor")
  • Implications connect to specific roadmap items or strategic bets
  • Strategic summary gives a landscape-level view, not just a list of individual signals
