Automated end-to-end workflow for cron/scheduled execution. Orchestrates other skills rather than duplicating their logic.
This skill MUST run completely unattended with NO user prompts.
When this skill is invoked:
If you find yourself about to ask a question, STOP and use the default behavior instead.
Each competition should only be stored ONCE, even if it appears on multiple sites.
Before creating any issue, you MUST:
gh issue list -R $TARGET_REPO --label competition --state all --json number,title,body --limit 500Word limit clarification: "25WOL" is a category name. Competitions with 25, 50, or 100 word limits are all valid - persist them (if new).
Auto-tagging (for-kids, cruise) is for LABELING, not skipping:

## Daily Competition Scout Report - 2025-12-09
[Full report as shown above]
DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself): This skill invokes other skills rather than reimplementing their logic. This means:
If you need to change how analysis works, change comp-scout-analyze - the daily workflow will automatically use the updated logic.
Scrape competition websites, extract structured data, and auto-persist to GitHub issues. Creates issues for new competitions, adds comments for duplicates.
Generate strategic analysis for competition entries and auto-persist to GitHub issue. Identifies winning tone, themes, and angles based on sponsor type and brand voice.
Generate authentic, memorable competition entries (25 words or less) and auto-persist to GitHub issue. Creates multiple variations with different arcs and tones.
[DEPRECATED] Persistence logic has been merged into comp-scout-scrape. This skill remains for reference only.
Send beautifully formatted HTML digest emails summarizing open competitions, their status, and strategy. Supports dark mode, closing soon highlights, and multiple recipients.
