## What competitor-analysis does, in the publisher's words

A NanoClaw agent template for competitive research: crawl a competitor's site and socials, produce an "About" Google Doc with a "Recent News" tab, and append a row to a tracking spreadsheet.

NanoClaw stamps an agent from the parts of this folder its plugin reader loads (mcp.json, skills/, and the ai.nanoco.nanoclaw/ extension dir); README.md is not one of them.

The two scripts/ helpers run with bun inside the agent container and call the Google APIs through the OneCLI proxy. Hand-crafting Google Docs/Sheets formatting from an LLM is unreliable: the agent writes plain Markdown or plain rows, and the scripts apply the formatting deterministically.

- Tracker spreadsheet: the Google Sheet ID competitor rows are appended to
