When the user wants to set up ongoing tracking of competitor activity — pricing changes, feature launches, hiring signals, content, or public mentions. Also use when the user mentions "track competitors", "what are competitors doing", "competitor alerts", or "market watch".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Competitor Monitoring ## When to Use - Founder wants to know when competitors change pricing, ship features, or raise funding - Founder wants a recurring "what changed this week" scan of competitor activity - Founder wants to detect strategic shifts from competitor job postings, blog posts, or product updates - Founder wants to stay informed without manually checking 10 websites daily This is the **recurring sibling** of `competitive-analysis` (one-time deep dive). Use this skill for ongoing monitoring, not initial research. ## Context Required - List of 3-7 competitors to track (names, websites, product URLs) - What the founder cares about most (pricing, features, positioning, hiring, funding, content) - Monitoring frequency (weekly recommended for early-stage, biweekly for established markets) - The founder's own positioning (to flag threats and opportunities) ## Workflow 1. **Define the monitoring surface** — for each competitor, identify what to watch: - **Pricing page** — plan changes, new tiers, free plan adjustments - **Changelog / release notes** — new features, deprecations, platform shifts …

How to install
mdr add maudeunfledged834/startup-founder-skills/competitor-monitoring@sha256:842186eff2d8e178The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260403.b0c6483, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
