# 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]
|
|
|
|
## 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
