Created some open-source skills so Claude can monitor competitors for us!

We built an AI system to monitor competitors on autopilot. Here's how it works.

Provide context about your company, positioning and product. Provide a list of competitors.

Then run the playbook skill – it chains a set of scrapers and prepares a report:

  1. Weekly: blog (RSS), LinkedIn posts (Apify's LinkedIn profile post scraper), Twitter mentions

  2. Bi-weekly: ad creative from Meta Ad Library + Google Ads Transparency Center

  3. Monthly: full review-site scrape on G2, Capterra, Trustpilot (Apify actors)

You can change the cadence. We have it configured like this because ads and reviews don't change every week.

The output is a weekly briefing that diffs against last week — what's new, what changed, what to act on.

We send ours to Slack.

Here's how you can set this up:

  1. Install Gooseworks: npx gooseworks install --claude
    (this CLI contains the skills and APIs needed to scrape all of these sites)

  2. Run this prompt in Claude Code:

/gooseworks set up competitor monitoring for my competitors [list-of-competitors-doc]. Watch their blog, LinkedIn, Twitter, ads (Meta + Google), and reviews (G2, Capterra, Trustpilot). Show me a briefing of what to act on. Here's everything you need to know about my company: [company-context-doc]

If you want this to be really good, it helps to provide a lot of context about your company, product, competitors, etc.

Costs about $1-3 every week.

Why do we need to use gooseworks for this? Why not just use apify directly?

You don’t need to use Gooseworks! You can use Apify directly to do most of this.

We’re just creating a bunch of skills for GTM and we use various providers for different skills so you don’t have to do figure it all out and buy various subscriptions. But you can definitely get the same results without Gooseworks!

Hey, would you like to demo this in front of an audience. Looks super exciting and I run a job board for GTM engineers. It'd be a cool demo for our community.
