Scheduled delta monitoring against a prior competitive snapshot. Use when tracking competitors on a cadence: material shifts only, cited evidence, battle-card update flags, runs unattended.

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

# Competitive Intel Watch

## Purpose

Monitor a competitive landscape for **material shifts** since the last run. Diff the world against the
previous snapshot; report only what changed, with evidence; flag which downstream artifacts need
updating. This is the skill that turns competitive research from a document into a cadence — the
weekly SIGINT sweep and monthly OSINT digest from the fusion cadence live here. A watch reports
*change*, not *state*: regenerating the same report weekly is theater, and "no material shifts this
cycle" is a valid, useful result.

## Input

**Works best with:** the previous Competitive Research Snapshot (pasted or attached) — the baseline
this run diffs against — and the competitor list (defaults to those in the snapshot).
**Also useful:** anything specific you're watching for this cycle, and a materiality bar adjustment if
the default needs tightening or loosening.

Input supplied inline with the invocation — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an
appended `ARGUMENTS:` line — counts as answers already given. Use it against the question budget;
don't re-ask.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add deanpeters/product-manager-skills/competitive-intel-watch@sha256:995de9eb3b992d59

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260717.eb7a51e, 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.
