Track competitor pricing and packaging as a diffable time series. Use when monitoring tiers, gates, limits, and price moves on a monthly or quarterly cadence.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a structured workflow for capturing and analyzing competitor pricing changes that the AI wouldn't reliably generate on its own.

What this skill does
Pricing & Packaging Tracker Purpose Track competitor pricing and packaging as a diffable time series, not a screenshot: capture (or diff) → structure changes → price changes → signals → next-step options. The stable capture schema is the point — run N diffs against run N-1, so the report is what moved, with evidence. And the skill watches structure as closely as numbers, because packaging changes (gates, limits, tier restructures) usually signal strategy earlier than price changes do: a tier that disappears telegraphs a move upmarket months before the price list admits it. Input Works best with: the competitor set to track (or the snapshot they came from), and the prior pricing capture if one exists — that's what turns this run into a delta report. Also useful: your own pricing context, if the comparison should include you. Input supplied inline with the invocation — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended ARGUMENTS: line — counts as answers already given. Use it against the question budget; don't re-ask. Arriving empty-handed? That works too. With no prior capture the skill runs baseline mode: full capture per competitor, and the delta value starts next run. With no competitor list, it asks — that's one of its two budget questions. Example invocation: Pricing tracker on [Competitor A], [Competitor B], [Competitor C] — prior capture from April pasted below. Key Concepts Governing protocol: honors the autonomous-investigation contract — question budget of 2, Fact/Inference/Assumption labels, Just Enough Mode, stable schema, 4-option Final Step. Discipline: SIGINT (pricing pages, site diffs) with FININT corroboration — see intelligence-collection-disciplines. Time series, not screenshot. A single capture is trivia; the sequence is intelligence. The schema never drifts between runs, because diffability is the entire value. Structure over numbers. …
