What it does

Ops Competitors is an agent skill from Lifecycle-Innovations-Limited/claude-ops. OPS on-demand: This skill should be used when the user asks to "competitor intel", "what did they…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Business operating system for Claude Code — 57 skills, 21 agents, smart daemon. Unified inbox (WhatsApp/Email/Slack/Telegram), autonomous PR merge, full-AWS monitoring, revenue… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to competitor intel

Example prompts

  • “competitor intel”
  • “/ops-competitors”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Edit, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Run competitor_context --brand "" --window-days 30
  2. Print brand metadata: category, competitor list, last_run, last_discovery
  3. Print per-competitor signal breakdown (group events by .competitor)
  4. Read latest report
  5. Print full high-severity event timeline sorted newest-first

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ee9c784. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Edit
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash
    • jq

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ops Competitors loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 269 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Edit, AskUserQuestion

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Runtime Context

Before rendering, load competitor context:

bash
PLUGIN_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(dirname $(which ops-competitors 2>/dev/null) 2>/dev/null)/..}"
OPS_DATA_DIR="${OPS_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}"
source "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/lib/competitor/context.sh" 2>/dev/null || true
CTX=$(competitor_context 2>/dev/null || echo '{"configured":false,"reason":"lib_not_found"}')

OPS ► COMPETITORS — Intel Dashboard

Load ops-rules before acting. Public repo (no personal data). Outbound: one draft → one approval → one send. If AskUserQuestion / Workflow are missing, follow Rule 10 in ops-rules (Hermes: numbered options / two-turn Telegram card; delegate_task).

Parse $ARGUMENTS and dispatch to the matching mode below.


Mode: No args — Dashboard

Show all tracked brands with last_run, alert counts, and recent activity. Use competitor_briefing_line for each brand row.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
 OPS ► COMPETITORS — [date]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

TRACKED BRANDS ([n] total)
  [brand]   last run [date]   [n] alerts · [n] med · [n] low
  ...

PENDING QUEUES
  immediate: [n]   daily: [n]

RECENT HIGH ALERTS (last 7d)
  [timestamp]  [brand]  [competitor]  [snippet…]
  ...
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

If configured == false: print setup hint and stop.

bash
# Load context
source "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/lib/competitor/context.sh"
competitor_context --window-days 7
competitor_briefing_line

Mobile mode (Rule 7): one line per brand, no banner, no box-drawing.


Mode: <brand-name> — Drill-down

Full event timeline (last 30d), top competitors, latest report, per-competitor signal breakdown.

  1. Run competitor_context --brand "<brand>" --window-days 30
  2. Print brand metadata: category, competitor list, last_run, last_discovery
  3. Print per-competitor signal breakdown (group events by .competitor)
  4. Read latest report:
    bash
    SLUG=$(echo "<brand>" | tr '[:upper:] /' '[:lower:]--' | tr -cd 'a-z0-9-_.')
    REPORT="$OPS_DATA_DIR/reports/competitor-intel/latest-${SLUG}.md"
    [[ -f "$REPORT" ]] && head -80 "$REPORT"
  5. Print full high-severity event timeline sorted newest-first

Output format:

BRAND: [name]  category: [cat]  last run: [date]
competitors: [a, b, c, ...]

SIGNAL BREAKDOWN
  [competitor]   high: [n]  med: [n]  low: [n]

LATEST REPORT (excerpt)
  [first 80 lines of report]

EVENT TIMELINE (30d — [n] total)
  [timestamp]  HIGH  [competitor]  [source]  [snippet…]
  ...

Mode: refresh [brand]

Manually triggers the weekly intel cron immediately.

bash
PLUGIN_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-...}"
CRON_SCRIPT="$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/ops-cron-competitor-intel.sh"

# If a specific brand is given, pass it via env override
if [[ -n "$BRAND_ARG" ]]; then
  BRAND_NAME="$BRAND_ARG" bash "$CRON_SCRIPT"
else
  bash "$CRON_SCRIPT"
fi

Stream output. Inform the user when done and show updated competitor_briefing_line.


Mode: add-url <brand> <competitor> <kind> <url>

Add a page-diff monitored URL to preferences.json. Valid <kind> values: pricing, features, changelog, careers.

  1. Validate args — if any missing, explain usage and stop.
  2. Show the proposed change:
    Add URL for [brand] → [competitor] ([kind]):
      [url]
  3. AskUserQuestion: [Add] / [Cancel]
  4. On confirm, merge via jq:
    bash
    PREFS="$OPS_DATA_DIR/preferences.json"
    jq --arg brand "$BRAND" --arg comp "$COMP" --arg kind "$KIND" --arg url "$URL" '
      .competitor_intel.urls[$brand][$comp][$kind] = $url
    ' "$PREFS" > /tmp/prefs-tmp.json && mv /tmp/prefs-tmp.json "$PREFS"
  5. Confirm written.

Mode: alerts

Tail the last 20 lines of the alerts log:

bash
ALERTS="$OPS_DATA_DIR/reports/competitor-intel/alerts.log"
if [[ -f "$ALERTS" ]]; then
  tail -20 "$ALERTS"
else
  echo "No alerts log found at $ALERTS"
fi

Mode: help / unknown args

Print available subcommands:

ops-competitors                           — dashboard (all brands)
ops-competitors <brand>                   — drill-down: events, report, breakdown
ops-competitors refresh [brand]           — run intel cron now (optional brand filter)
ops-competitors add-url <b> <c> <k> <url> — add page-diff URL to preferences.json
ops-competitors alerts                    — tail alerts.log (last 20 lines)
ops-competitors help                      — this message

Error states

  • configured == false → print "Competitor-intel not configured. Run /ops:setup competitor-intel to get started." and stop.
  • CRON_SCRIPT not found → print path and stop.
  • PREFS not writable for add-url → surface error, do not silently fail.
