python3 scripts/monitor.py report --format markdown --period week
What Gets Tracked
| Signal | How | Alert When |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing changes | Page diff on pricing URL | Any text change detected |
| Blog/changelog | RSS feed or page diff | New entries |
| Feature launches | Changelog + social monitoring | New announcements |
| Social activity | X/Twitter mentions and posts | Significant posts |
| SEO changes | Title/meta/H1 diffs | Structure changes |
| Tech stack | Built-with detection | Stack changes |
Configuration
Stored at ~/.openclaw/competitor-monitor.json:
{
"competitors": [
{
"name": "Acme Corp",
"url": "https://acme.com",
"pricingUrl": "https://acme.com/pricing",
"blogUrl": "https://acme.com/blog",
"twitter": "@acme",
"trackingTypes": ["pricing", "blog", "changelog", "social"],
"checkInterval": "6h"
}
],
"alertChannel": "telegram",
"diffThreshold": 0.05
}
Scheduling
Set up as a heartbeat task or cron:
# Check competitors every 6 hours
python3 scripts/monitor.py check --all --quiet --alert-changes
Alert Format
When changes detected:
COMPETITOR ALERT: Acme Corp
Change type: Pricing
Detected: 2026-03-06 14:30 EST
Summary: Enterprise plan price increased from $99/mo to $129/mo
Diff: [link to stored diff]
Advanced: Competitive Intelligence Reports
See references/ci-templates.md for weekly/monthly report templates that synthesize all tracked changes into actionable intelligence briefs.
Usage Guidance
This skill's code is simple and runs locally: it fetches URLs you configure and stores snapshots and a history under ~/.openclaw. Before installing or running it, consider: 1) The README over-promises — social/Twitter monitoring, Telegram alerts, built-with/SEO detection are advertised but not present in the script. Don't expect those features to work without additional code. 2) The script will fetch arbitrary URLs you add; if you or the agent add internal/localhost URLs it can reach internal services — run it in a network-restricted environment if that's a concern. 3) It writes data to your home directory (~/.openclaw); review those files and permissions. 4) If you need alerting (Telegram, Slack, etc.) or social API integration, implement and review those integrations yourself and avoid pasting secrets into config unless you trust the code. If you want a fully featured tool, either extend this script carefully or choose a vetted product. If you need me to, I can point out exactly where to add Telegram or Twitter code and what credentials would be required.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: competitor-intel-monitor
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a legitimate tool for monitoring competitor websites for changes in pricing, blogs, and features. The core logic in `scripts/monitor.py` uses standard Python libraries to fetch web content, calculate diffs, and store history locally in `~/.openclaw/`. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The script performs expected tasks for basic competitor monitoring: fetching pages, extracting text, diffing, saving snapshots and history under ~/.openclaw. However, the skill description and SKILL.md promise additional capabilities (social/X monitoring, Telegram alert delivery, built-with tech detection, detailed SEO analysis) that are not implemented in scripts/monitor.py. This is an overclaim rather than a direct malicious mismatch.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions only call the bundled Python script with CLI commands (add, check, history, report). The instructions reference the config path and data directory that the script actually uses. The instructions do not ask the agent to read unrelated system files or transmit data to external endpoints beyond fetching the competitor URLs (which is expected).
Install Mechanism
No install spec present; this is an instruction-only skill with a bundled Python script. Nothing is downloaded or installed automatically by the skill package itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials and the script does not attempt to read any secrets. It writes config and data files under the user's home (~/.openclaw). The apparent alertChannel (telegram) in config is not implemented in code, so there is no hidden requirement for messaging credentials.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does persist state to ~/.openclaw/competitor-monitor.json and ~/.openclaw/competitor-data, which is expected for this type of tool. It does not request always:true, nor does it modify other skills or system-wide agent settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install competitor-intel-monitor - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/competitor-intel-monitor - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
