Weekly Competitor Tracker

This skill tracks weekly competitor changes by comparing your current markdown competitor notes against a saved snapshot from the previous week. It generates a structured delta-report showing what changed, what's new, and what was removed — with no APIs, no code, and no external services required.

Input:

• competitors/ folder with one .md file per competitor (e.g., competitors/acme.md)
• Optional: competitors/snapshot/ subfolder with previous-week versions of the same files

Output:

• competitor-delta-YYYY-MM-DD.md — structured delta-report saved to the competitors/ folder

Language Detection

Detect the user's language from their message:

• If Russian (or contains Cyrillic): respond in Russian
• If English (or other Latin-script language): respond in English
• If ambiguous: respond in the language of the trigger phrase used

Important: All error messages, warnings, and instructions in subsequent steps must be output in the detected language.

Instructions

Step 1: Validate Input

1. Check that the user has provided a path to a competitors/ folder.

   • If no folder provided:
     • EN: "No competitors folder provided. Create a competitors/ folder with one .md file per competitor and try again."
     • RU: "Папка конкурентов не предоставлена. Создайте папку competitors/ с одним файлом .md на каждого конкурента и повторите попытку."
   • If folder is empty (no .md files):
     • EN: "No competitor files found in the folder. Add at least one .md file and retry."
     • RU: "В папке не найдены файлы конкурентов. Добавьте хотя бы один файл .md и повторите попытку."

2. List all .md files in the competitors/ folder (excluding the snapshot/ subfolder).

   • These are the current-week competitor notes.
   • If only non-.md files are found:
     • EN: "Warning: only non-markdown files found. Proceed only if .md files exist."
     • RU: "Внимание: найдены только файлы не-Markdown. Продолжайте только если существуют файлы .md."
