Execution Logic

执行逻辑

Check $ARGUMENTS first to determine execution mode:
首先检查$ARGUMENTS以确定执行模式:

If $ARGUMENTS is empty or not provided:

若$ARGUMENTS为空或未提供:

Respond with: "competitor-intel loaded, proceed with competitor name and any context (website, industry, etc.)"
Then wait for the user to provide their requirements in the next message.
回复内容: "competitor-intel loaded, proceed with competitor name and any context (website, industry, etc.)"
然后等待用户在下一条消息中提供需求。

If $ARGUMENTS contains content:

若$ARGUMENTS包含内容:

Proceed immediately to Task Execution (skip the "loaded" message).

直接进入任务执行环节(跳过上述“已加载”提示消息)。

Task Execution

任务执行

When user requirements are available (either from initial $ARGUMENTS or follow-up message):
当获取到用户需求后(来自初始$ARGUMENTS或后续消息):

1. Check for Business Context (Optional)

1. 检查业务背景(可选)

Check if
FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md
exists in the project root.

  • If it doesn't exist: Proceed with analysis focused purely on competitor weaknesses.
检查项目根目录下是否存在
FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md
文件。
  • 若存在:读取文件以了解贵公司的定位、优势和目标——这将为竞争优势策略提供依据。
  • 若不存在:仅聚焦于分析竞争对手的弱点。

  • MRR/ARR (if disclosed)
  • Funding raised (total and rounds)
  • Valuation (if known)
  • Employee count
  • Customer count

核心规则:若无法找到带来源的指标数据,标记为“未公开”——不得估算或假设数据。

5. Identify Leverage Opportunities

5. 识别竞争优势机会

Analyze collected data to find 3 actionable weak spots:
Look for patterns in:
  • Product gaps: Features users complain about, missing integrations
  • Service failures: Support complaints, response times, bugs
  • Pricing friction: Users complaining about cost, hidden fees, poor value
  • Trust issues: Security concerns, data breaches, broken promises
  • Operational struggles: Layoffs, leadership changes, funding difficulties
  • Marketing weaknesses: Poor ad execution, weak positioning, low engagement
For each weakness, formulate an actionable strategy your company can execute.
分析收集到的数据,找出3个可落地的竞争对手弱点:
重点关注以下模式:
  • 产品缺口:用户抱怨的功能缺失、未覆盖的集成场景
  • 服务故障:客服投诉、响应时长、产品bug
  • 定价争议:用户对成本的不满、隐藏费用、性价比低
  • 信任问题:安全隐患、数据泄露、未兑现承诺
  • 运营困境:裁员、领导层变动、融资困难
  • 营销短板:广告执行不佳、定位模糊、用户参与度低
针对每个弱点,制定贵公司可执行的具体策略。

6. Predict Next Moves

6. 预测竞争对手下一步行动

Based on all signals, predict what the competitor will likely do next:
Signals to interpret:
  • Hiring patterns: Engineering = product push, Sales = growth mode, Support = scaling issues
  • Job postings: Reveal technology bets, market expansion, new products
  • Funding status: Recent raise = aggressive expansion, No raise in 2+ years = potential trouble
  • Content/PR: Topics they're pushing indicate strategic focus
  • Partnership announcements: Reveal market positioning and gaps
  • Founder activity: Where they speak, what they post, who they meet
基于所有信号,预测竞争对手可能采取的下一步行动:
需解读的信号包括:
  • 招聘模式:招聘工程师=产品迭代,招聘销售=扩张模式,招聘客服=规模扩张中的问题
  • 职位发布:透露技术投入、市场扩张、新产品规划
  • 融资状态:近期融资=激进扩张,超过2年未融资=潜在困境
  • 内容/公关:主推话题反映战略重点
  • 合作公告:透露市场定位和缺口
  • 创始人动态:演讲场合、发布内容、会面对象
