Competitive Intel

Research a competitor, market, or category. Produce a structured brief with sourced claims, evidence tiers, and explicit limitations. Distinguishes observed fact from inference throughout.

Setup

No API keys required. This skill uses only web_search and web_fetch, both of which are available in standard OpenClaw sessions.

OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE — only needed for Deep Dive mode (save-report.sh). Defaults to $HOME/.openclaw/workspace. If the variable is unset and the default path does not exist, the script will fail with a clear error. Fix: set OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE or ensure ~/.openclaw/workspace exists.

If web_search is unavailable: Ask the user to provide competitor URLs or names directly. Skip Steps 2 and 4 (identification and review mining via search) and proceed from the provided inputs. Declare this in the Limitations section.

If web_fetch is blocked on a specific domain: Note the block. Do not invent content. Use SERP snippets and metadata if available; downgrade the tier accordingly.

Tools

• web_search — competitor identification, SERP analysis, review site queries
• web_fetch — reading competitor homepages, pricing pages, review pages
• scripts/save-report.sh — workspace save for Deep Dive mode (creates files, never deletes)
