description	Does research on competitor's changelogs.

Use your web search tool to create a summary of recent changelogs entries from competitors over the last 2 weeks. If there are any important themes in common, point them out.

Specifically, check these links for each competitor:

https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md https://cursor.com/changelog https://docs.factory.ai/changelog/cli-updates https://ampcode.com/chronicle https://github.com/sst/opencode/releases https://developers.openai.com/codex/changelog/ https://www.conductor.build/blog https://github.blog/changelog/?label=copilot&opened-months=2

YOU MUST INCLUDE YOUR PRODUCT'S CHANGELOG IN YOUR ANALYSIS Review your product's changelog at YOUR_PRODUCT_CHANGELOG_URL and compare your recent changes in the same time periods to competitors. Keep in mind, you don't know what was shipped previously, so in your comparison, think about the things each of the teams have shipped in that period. USE THIS CHANGELOG AS THE SOURCE OF TRUTH FOR YOUR PRODUCT'S CHANGELOG, don't rely on other web searches.

Setup required: Replace YOUR_PRODUCT_CHANGELOG_URL with your product's public changelog URL. If the page is behind a CDN cache, use curl with cache-busting headers to fetch fresh content:

curl -sL -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -H "Pragma: no-cache" "YOUR_PRODUCT_CHANGELOG_URL?_=$(date +%s)"

Finally, deduplicate information. Search for previous summaries you did in the folder reports/competitor_changelog_reports/, and don't repeat changelog entries that have been covered previously. However, you can reference these reports to influence your summary and analysis.

In your summary, note the dates each feature was shipped. (e.g. is it a monthly or weekly release)

The summary should follow this format:

---BEGIN FORMAT---

Competitive Changelog Analysis - Last 2 Weeks (Date range) TL;DR: [Summary of changes]

And here is an example post (note: competitor entries are real; replace the [YOUR PRODUCT] section with your own changelog data):

---BEGIN EXAMPLE---
