Daily interval loop that monitors competitor sites, pricing pages, and changelogs, then delivers a sourced brief on what changed.

Kickoff prompt
/loop 1d Start the "Competitor Change Watch" loop.

Goal: competitor changes detected and sourced brief delivered
Max iterations: 30
Between iterations run: Verify competitor snapshots differ from last baseline with sources cited
Exit when: monitoring cycle complete with sourced change brief delivered

Step 1 — Monitor: Watch competitor sites, pricing, and changelogs.
Step 2 — Act: Diff against baseline, capture screenshots, classify impact.
Step 3 — Surface: Deliver sourced brief with suggested responses.

Self-pace this loop. After each iteration, run the check command, read the output, and only continue if the exit condition is not met. Stop when the exit condition passes or max iterations is reached. Give a short status update each pass.

Paste the kickoff prompt into Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex. Deeplinks do not install hook files.

Steps

1. Monitor

Watch competitor homepages, pricing pages, changelogs, and job boards for shifts.

2. Act

Diff against last baseline, capture screenshots, and classify changes by impact.

3. Surface

Deliver a sourced brief: what changed, why it matters, and suggested responses.

Guardrails

Rules the agent must follow so it cannot cheat the exit condition.

  • Cite URLs and capture dates for every claimed change
  • Do not invent pricing or feature claims without a source
  • Respect robots.txt and rate limits when fetching competitor pages
