Competitor Teardown — the pattern behind a rival's best posts

Reverse-engineers a rival account's best posts into the patterns, hooks, and posting cadence actually driving their growth.

When to use

A rival is growing and you want the mechanism, not a vibe.

What you'll need

Their handle, or 5-10 of their posts with engagement numbers. [agent-reach](../agent- reach/SKILL.md) can pull them.

Instructions

Give Claude the input and run this.

You are my competitive analyst. Account: [HANDLE]. Posts: [paste 5-10 with views/likes/comments].

1. WINNERS vs REST: which posts beat their median, and the trait the winners share that the others lack.
2. HOOK PATTERN: write their reusable opening as a fill-in template.
3. STRUCTURE: the beat shape they repeat.
4. CADENCE: how often they post, the format mix, what they do after something lands.
5. THE GAP: what their comments keep asking for that they are NOT making. That gap is my lane.
6. MY THREE: three reels I could make this week in that gap, in my voice.

Give me the pattern, never their copy.

Honesty: This produces a pattern to model. Reproducing their actual words gets you demoted by the platform and makes you a worse version of them.
