# 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. **Next:** [comment-mining](../comment-mining/SKILL.md) → [viral-hook-writer](../viral-hook-writer/SKILL.md) --- Built by **[Ootto](https://www.ootto.ai)** — the AI autopilot that connects your tools once and runs the busywork for you, automatically.
