SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the work of turning scattered changelogs and release notes into a structured competitive intelligence report, removing the manual effort of finding release dates, feature signals, and cadence patterns across multiple vendors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cohort definition and source discovery: find and verify indexed sources for each company in a competitive set.
  • Data collection and search: fetch recent releases, query indexed changelog chunks, and cross-reference features or breaking changes across companies.
  • Synthesis and forecasting: compute release velocity, surface trends adopted by multiple vendors, identify differentiating bets and gaps, and produce actionable forecasts and reproducible process notes.
  • Use Case: Compare release velocity and feature adoption for a 4-company cohort in the observability space to identify where each vendor is investing and what features your product lacks.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to analyze a cohort of companies and produce a competitive intelligence report summarizing release velocity, shared trends, differentiators, gaps, and a short forecast.
