Find an app's real competitors in one region on one or both platforms, add the chosen ones to tracking, and build a competitive audit — share of search across live store results, newly discovered competitors, category position, and 30-day rating velocity with a star breakdown. Emits a structured findings.json plus a self-contained HTML report. Trigger on "who are our competitors", "competitor analysis", "competitive audit", "who outranks us in this country", "compare us against a named rival", "add competitors to tracking", "/competitors".

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/AppFollow/appfollow-ai-toolkit /tmp/appfollow-ai-toolkit && ln -s /tmp/appfollow-ai-toolkit/skills/competitors ~/.claude/skills/competitors

## From README

competitors Read using-appfollow first (session opening, write ritual, error codes). This skill answers one question — who are we actually competing with in this market, and how do we stand against them — using only data the MCP can produce. Everything below was verified against the live API; the constraints in Verified limits are not hypothetical and must not be designed around optimistically. Inputs Collected interactively in step 1. Nothing is assumed. app — name, store URL, or extid. A store URL is fine: parse the id out of it (/id for App Store, ?id= for Google Play). The ASO search endpoints take free-text terms only, never a URL or an id. platforms — ios, android, or both. Maps to store + device: iOS → as + iphone, Android → gp + android. region — exactly one two-letter country code. The skill does not proceed with several. One region is a hard requirement, not a default: results differ enough between markets that a blended answer is meaningless.
