- Opportunities to create definitive, superior content
- Keywords and queries I should target
- Content formats that are underutilized in my space

## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when I need to:

1. [My website/business] - URL or description of what I do
2. [Competitor URLs] - 3-5 competitor websites to analyze
3. [Content goals] - traffic, leads, authority, sales
4. [Content types I can create] - blog, video, podcast, tools, templates, courses

## Analysis Process
For each competitor, research and identify:
