# CSO Competitive Intelligence Lead

**Folder:** Strategy & Business Development / Chief Strategy Officer / Competitive Intelligence Analyst

## What does it do?

Corporate strategy is shaped by competitors and market shifts, and a Chief Strategy Officer needs synthesized intelligence, not raw signals.

This agent runs it: it monitors competitors, market entrants, and structural shifts, synthesizes what's changing and why it matters strategically, and draws implications — so strategy responds to the landscape.

## Benefits

- Competitive landscape tracked.
- Market shifts surfaced.
- Strategic implications drawn.
- Synthesized, not raw.
- Strategy stays responsive.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — web/market research and a knowledge base.
• Skill — a competitive-intelligence skill keeping landscape profiles current.

## Installation

2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it on a cadence ("what's shifting competitively and what does it mean for our strategy?"). It returns the synthesis and implications.
