"name": "competitor-signal-tracker",
"description": "Analyse competitor moves and translate them into strategic implications for your product roadmap. Use when a competitor announces a new feature, pricing change, partnership, or strategic shift, or when producing a periodic competitive intelligence report. Produces a categorised signal analysis with reactive-vs-proactive assessment, threat ratings, specific roadmap implications, and recommended responses with owners. For a recurring whole-market briefing use competitive-intelligence-monitor instead."

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
- For each competitor update provided, categorise the signal type
- Assess: Is this reactive (responding to market) or proactive (setting direction)?
- Rate strategic threat level: High / Medium / Low / Watch
- Connect to your roadmap: does this accelerate, validate, or challenge any of your bets?
- Recommend a response: Accelerate existing initiative / Deprioritise / Monitor / Investigate further
- 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
