competitor-intel

competitor-intel is a skill for Claude Code from Nimbleway/agent-skills. It costs 214 tokens per session (3,637 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A web research workflow that monitors competitors through news, product launches, hiring activity, and funding information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to produce structured competitor briefings and highlight recent changes compared with earlier findings.
Why use it?
It helps separate new developments from information already collected, so competitive updates are easier to follow.

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-intel scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 9d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Competitor Intelligence

Real-time competitive intelligence powered by Nimble's web data APIs.

User request: $ARGUMENTS

Before running any commands, read references/nimble-playbook.md for Claude Code constraints (no shell state, no &/wait, sub-agent permissions, communication style).


Instructions

Step 0: Preflight

Follow the transport selection + standard preflight from references/nimble-playbook.md — pick CLI or MCP at session start, then run the standard preflight calls (date calc, today, profile, memory index) in parallel.

From the results:

  • CLI missing or API key unset → references/profile-and-onboarding.md, stop
  • Tag all nimble CLI calls: nimble --client-source nimble-agent-skills <subcommand>. MCP requests are attributed at the transport level — see references/nimble-playbook.md.
  • Profile exists → read ~/.nimble/memory/competitors/index.md to identify which competitor files exist and their last-updated dates. If the index doesn't exist (first run or upgrade), fall back to reading all ~/.nimble/memory/competitors/*.md directly — the index is an optimization, not a gate. Then load the relevant competitor files for known signals (used for dedup in Steps 3 + 5). Follow cross-references ([[path/entity]] links) to load related context. Determine mode using smart date windowing from references/nimble-playbook.md:
    • Full mode: first run OR last run > 14 days ago
    • Quick refresh: last run < 14 days ago
    • Same-day repeat: if last_runs.competitor-intel is today, check if a report already exists at ~/.nimble/memory/reports/competitor-intel-[today].md. If so, ask: "Already ran today. Run again for fresh data?" Don't silently re-run.
    • Skip to Step 2
  • No profile → Step 1

Note: Step 2 (WSA Discovery) runs after onboarding but before any research.

Step 1: First-Run Onboarding (2 prompts max)

Prompt 1 — ask in plain text (NOT AskUserQuestion with options):

"What's your company's website domain? (e.g., acme.com)"

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
