Competitive Analysis

Conduct full competitor strategy breakdowns across SEO, ads, social, email, pricing, and positioning. Use when the user asks to analyze competitors, benchmark against rivals, understand competitive landscape, find competitor weaknesses, or build a competitive matrix. Trigger phrases include "competitor analysis", "competitive analysis", "who are my competitors", "competitor research", "competitive landscape", "benchmark competitors", "competitor ads", "competitor SEO", "competitor pricing", "SWOT analysis", "competitive matrix".

Rigor Improve / Rigor Explore run leaf skill for bounded exploratory evidence in deep learning research repositories. Use when the researcher explicitly authorizes exploratory runs such as small-subset validation, short-cycle guess-and-check, batch sweeps, idle-GPU search, or quick transfer-learning trials, with fair-comparison caveats and no-overclaim summaries in `explore_outputs/`. Do not use for end-to-end exploration orchestration on top of `current_research`, trusted baseline execution, conservative training verification, default routing, verified SOTA claims, or implicit experimentation.

Rigor Train skill for deep learning research repositories. Use when a documented or selected training command should be run conservatively for startup verification, short-run verification, full kickoff, or resume, with command, config, seed, log, checkpoint, status, and metric evidence written to standardized `train_outputs/`. Do not use for environment setup, exploratory sweeps, speculative idea implementation, or end-to-end orchestration.

Generates engaging long-form blog posts from source materials or a topic brief. Supports listicles, editorial tutorials, how-to articles, narrative essays, and thought leadership. Handles research, outlining, drafting, on-page SEO, and polishing. Use when "write a blog post about this", "create a listicle", "turn this research into an article", "write an editorial tutorial", "draft a thought leadership piece", or "write a how-to article". For short product or marketing copy (headlines, CTAs, landing pages, onboarding strings) use copywriting; for slide decks use presentation-creator; for API references, READMEs, or how-to docs in a documentation site use docs-writing. This skill does on-page SEO for the post it writes; for sitemaps, metadata, redirects, or site-wide SEO use optimise-seo.

Research codebase, write concrete implementation plan. Use after brainstorming.

Chief AI Officer advisory for startups: model build-vs-buy decisions (API vs fine-tune vs in-house), AI risk classification under EU AI Act + US state patchwork, AI cost economics (API-to-self-hosted breakeven), and AI team org evolution. Use when deciding whether to call an API or fine-tune, classifying AI use cases for regulatory risk, calculating when self-hosting pays off, sequencing AI hires, or when user mentions CAIO, AI strategy, model selection, foundation model, fine-tuning, EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, AI governance, model risk, or AI economics. Strategic only — does not duplicate engineering AI/ML skills.
