What is competitor-intel-watch?

A scheduled tool that checks specified competitor web pages, compares each visit with the previous snapshot, and sends a digest when changes pass configured thresholds.

It is for monitoring competitor URLs, detecting substantial page changes, and delivering approved alerts through Slack or email.

It removes the need to check competitor pages manually and filters out small or irrelevant edits. It also respects each site's robots.txt rules before fetching.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add TommyBez/evex --skill competitor-intel-watch

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/TommyBez/evex

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00025	$0.00412
Opus 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00165
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00082
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00041

Security

Grade A, and why

competitor-intel-watch 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Use this skill on every scheduled watch and any chat request to run the monitor.

Order of work

Call load_watch_config. The URL list and thresholds come from environment variables and an optional config file. Never invent a URL.
Fetch each listed URL with fetch_competitor_page. That tool loads {origin}/robots.txt first and skips the page when robots disallows this user-agent or when robots.txt cannot be reached.
Diff each successful fetch with diff_page_snapshot. A first-seen URL is a committed baseline, score 0, not an alert. Threshold-clearing changes stay pending in the store until send_digest delivers.
Deliver only rows where clearsThreshold is true. Both score >= COMPETITOR_INTEL_ALERT_MIN_SCORE and changedChars >= COMPETITOR_INTEL_ALERT_MIN_CHANGED_CHARS must pass. The score is round(100 * changedChars / max(beforeLength, afterLength, 1)), capped at 100. Do not invent another metric.
Preview with preview_digest, then send with send_digest only when confirmSend is true and you reuse the idempotencyKey and runDate returned by preview_digest. send_digest always pauses for Eve human approval before Slack or Resend.

Hard stops

Empty watch list or missing delivery config: report missingEnv and stop.
blockedByRobots: skip that URL. Do not retry with a different user-agent.
No threshold-clearing changes: do not call send_digest.
send_digest without confirmSend=true: the tool refuses. Review the preview first. Approval is a separate Eve pause.
sent: false with an error: the digest was not delivered. Do not claim it was sent.

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.
