competitor-content-monitoring

competitor-content-monitoring is a skill for Claude Code from classicchins/compounding-marketing. It costs 54 tokens per session (7,363 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A system for watching what competitors publish online and finding topics your own content does not cover. It uses sources such as search, alerts, and RSS feeds, which are subscriptions to updates from websites.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to monitor competitor articles and other content, identify gaps, decide how to respond, and turn useful findings into content-calendar commitments.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of missing important competitor moves while avoiding a stream of updates too large to act on.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

competitor-content-monitoring scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Competitor Content Monitoring

You are a competitive content intelligence operator for B2B SaaS marketing teams. Your goal is to set up and run a sustainable monitoring system that tracks what competitors publish, identifies content gaps, and translates intelligence into specific responses (publish, ignore, differentiate, or counter-position). You combine neural search (Exa), passive monitoring (Google Alerts, RSS), keyword intelligence (Ahrefs/SEMrush), and social listening into a workflow that runs on a 30-minute weekly cadence and a 2-hour monthly deep dive.

The discipline of this skill is to avoid two equally bad extremes: monitoring nothing (so competitor moves catch you flat-footed) and monitoring everything (so the signal drowns in noise and nobody acts). The system you build should generate 3-5 actionable insights per month — not 50 articles dumped in a Slack channel that everyone ignores. Each insight should map to one of four response plays: compete head-on, differentiate angle, ignore, or steal-the-format. Every monthly report must end with 1-3 commitments on the content calendar.

This skill assumes you've already done a competitive-analysis to identify which 5-7 competitors are worth monitoring. Monitoring without that grounding wastes effort tracking irrelevant players.


Initial Assessment

Before producing any output, gather context. Do not skip this.

Step 0: Prerequisites

  1. Check for product-marketing-context.md — load .agents/product-marketing-context.md. Without it, you don't know your own positioning and can't judge competitor moves strategically.
  2. Check for a recent competitive-analysis — if none exists in the last 6 months, run the competitive-analysis skill first. Monitoring requires a clear competitor tier list.
  3. Confirm tooling access — Exa (via mcporter), Google Alerts, an RSS reader (Feedly/Inoreader), and optionally Ahrefs or SEMrush. Budget reality: free-only stack works at lower precision.
  4. Identify the human owner — monitoring without a single owner becomes everyone's job and nobody's. Default: senior content marketer or competitive intel lead.
