# competitor-radar
Weekly competitive intelligence skill. Batch operation: define competitors
once, run a snapshot weekly, read the synthesis report. No external
subscriptions or monitoring services required.
## When to use this skill
- Weekly competitive intelligence sweep: run on Mondays or before the
Friday `weekly-review-coach` session.
- Before a pricing change: verify your anchor analysis is still current.
- Before a fundraise: investors will ask "who else is doing this?"
- When a prospect mentions a competitor you haven't tracked before: add
it to the config and run a fresh snapshot.
## When NOT to use this skill
- Real-time monitoring: this is a batch skill. For real-time alerts, use
Google Alerts or a dedicated monitoring service.
- Legal intelligence (M&A signals, patent filings): use a proper CI firm.
- Login-gated pages: WebFetch cannot authenticate. Public pages only.
## Phase A — Setup
Define your competitor list in:
```
~/.config/walter-os/state/competitors.yml
```
**This file is operator-private and must never be committed to any repo.**
Schema:
```yaml
competitors:
- name: Competitor Name
changelog_url: https://competitor.com/changelog
pricing_url: https://competitor.com/pricing
careers_url: https://competitor.com/jobs
blog_url: https://competitor.com/blog
```
See `references/sample-competitors.yml` for a filled example with three
