What it does

Competitor Product Monitor is an agent skill from tinyfish-io/tinyfish-cookbook. Monitor competitor product releases and new feature announcements. Use this skill when the user wants to track what competitors are shipping, find the latest product launches in their industry, or generate a competitor release report. Triggers include phrases like "track competitor releases", "what are my competitors launching", "monitor competitor products", "competitor product report", or any request to watch a rival company's product updates.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Product launch strategy. The repository describes itself as: A collection of sample apps and recipes built with the TinyFish web agent. Open-source examples for you to learn & build! The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to track what competitors are shipping
  • Find the latest product launches in their industry
  • Generate a competitor release report
  • Include phrases like track competitor releases

Example prompts

  • “track competitor releases”
  • “what are my competitors launching”
  • “monitor competitor products”
  • “/competitor-product-monitor”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Ask the user for their product and field
  2. Identify competitors
  3. Fetch product release information with TinyFish
  4. Generate the competitor release report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 63cd841. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • asana.com
    • monday.com
    • clickup.com
    • companyname.com
    • notion.so
    • ticktick.com
    • any.do
    • todo.microsoft.com

    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

Competitor Product Monitor loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 620 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~119
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Monitor competitor product releases and new feature announcements. Use this skill when the user wants to track what competitors are shipping, find the latest product launches in their industry, or generate a competitor release report. Triggers include phrases like "track competitor releases", "what are my competitors launching", "monitor competitor products", "competitor product report", or any request to watch a rival company's product updates.

Competitor Product Monitor

This skill walks the agent through a structured workflow to identify competitors, fetch their latest product release information using the TinyFish web agent, and generate a clean report for the user.


Pre-flight: TinyFish Check (REQUIRED)

Before doing anything, verify TinyFish is available:

bash
which tinyfish && tinyfish --version || echo "TINYFISH_CLI_NOT_INSTALLED"
tinyfish auth status

If not installed, stop and tell the user:

Install the TinyFish CLI first: npm install -g @tiny-fish/cli Then authenticate: tinyfish auth login

Do NOT proceed until both checks pass.


Workflow

Step 1 — Ask the user for their product and field

Say:

To get started, please tell me:

  1. Your industry or field (e.g. "project management SaaS", "electric vehicles", "cloud storage")
  2. Your product or company name (e.g. "Notion", "Tesla", "Dropbox")

Wait for the user's response before continuing.


Step 2 — Identify competitors

Based on the user's field and product, suggest 3–5 direct competitors. For each competitor, find or infer their primary website URL.

Present them in a clear list, like:

Here are the competitors I found for [product] in [field]:

  1. Asana — https://asana.com
  2. Monday.com — https://monday.com
  3. ClickUp — https://clickup.com

Does this look right? Feel free to remove any, or add others (with their website URLs if possible).

Wait for the user to confirm or modify the list before proceeding.

Tips for finding competitor URLs:

  • Use the company's official homepage, not a blog or news page
  • Prefer URLs like https://companyname.com over subdomains
  • If the user provides a competitor name without a URL, infer the most likely homepage

Step 3 — Fetch product release information with TinyFish

For each confirmed competitor, run a separate TinyFish command. Run them in parallel for speed.

Use this command pattern for each competitor:

bash
tinyfish agent run --sync --url "<competitor_url>" \
  "Find the latest product release, new feature announcement, or product update on this website. Look at the blog, changelog, newsroom, or press release pages. Return JSON: {\"company\": str, \"latest_release\": str, \"release_date\": str, \"description\": str, \"source_url\": str}"

Good pages to target (append to the base URL if needed):

  • /blog
  • /changelog
  • /news
  • /newsroom
  • /releases
  • /whats-new

If the base URL does not surface release info, retry with one of the above paths appended.

Parallel execution example (run all at once):

bash
tinyfish agent run --sync --url "https://asana.com/product" \
  "Find the latest product release or feature announcement. Return JSON: {\"company\": str, \"latest_release\": str, \"release_date\": str, \"description\": str, \"source_url\": str}"

tinyfish agent run --sync --url "https://monday.com/blog" \
  "Find the latest product release or feature announcement. Return JSON: {\"company\": str, \"latest_release\": str, \"release_date\": str, \"description\": str, \"source_url\": str}"

tinyfish agent run --sync --url "https://clickup.com/blog" \
  "Find the latest product release or feature announcement. Return JSON: {\"company\": str, \"latest_release\": str, \"release_date\": str, \"description\": str, \"source_url\": str}"

Collect the resultJson field from each COMPLETE event in the TinyFish output.


Step 4 — Generate the competitor release report

Once all TinyFish results are collected, compile and present the report to the user in this format:


Competitor Product Release Report Field: [field] | Your product: [product] | Generated: [date]


[Company Name] Release: [latest_release] Date: [release_date] [description] Source: [source_url]


[Company Name] ...


After the report, ask the user:

Would you like to monitor these competitors periodically for new releases? If yes, let me know how often (e.g. weekly, daily) and how you'd like to be notified (e.g. email, Slack).


Show full SKILL.md (214 more words)Show less

Output JSON Schema

Each TinyFish result should conform to:

json
{
  "company": "string — competitor company name",
  "latest_release": "string — name or title of the release/announcement",
  "release_date": "string — date as found on the page, or 'Unknown'",
  "description": "string — 1-3 sentence summary of what was released",
  "source_url": "string — direct URL to the announcement or changelog page"
}

If a field cannot be found, set it to "Not found" rather than omitting it.


Handling Failures

ProblemAction
TinyFish returns no resultRetry with a more specific URL (e.g. append /changelog or /blog)
Page is bot-protectedNote it in the report as "Could not fetch — site may require login"
Release date missingUse "Date not found" and still include the release info
Company has no public changelogSearch their blog or press page instead

Example Full Run

User: I work in the task management space. My product is Todoist.

Agent finds competitors: Asana, Notion, TickTick, Any.do, Microsoft To Do

Agent runs (in parallel):

bash
tinyfish agent run --sync --url "https://asana.com/product" "..."
tinyfish agent run --sync --url "https://notion.so/blog" "..."
tinyfish agent run --sync --url "https://ticktick.com/blog" "..."
tinyfish agent run --sync --url "https://any.do/blog" "..."
tinyfish agent run --sync --url "https://todo.microsoft.com" "..."

Agent presents:

Competitor Product Release Report Field: task management | Your product: Todoist | Generated: 2026-04-06

Asana Release: Asana AI Studio — custom workflow automation Date: March 2026 Asana launched AI Studio, allowing teams to build no-code AI workflows... Source: https://asana.com/product/ai-studio

...


Notes

  • Always run one TinyFish command per competitor — do not combine multiple sites into one goal.
  • Use --sync flag so results are fully returned before generating the report.
  • The report should list competitors in order of most recent release date first, if dates are available.
  • If the user adds a competitor mid-workflow, fetch only that new competitor and append to the existing report.
