The Exact Claude Code Prompt I Use to Study My Competitors in Real Time

You saw the video. 2am. One command. Claude Code scraped every competitor in my niche, pulled their engagement patterns, and filed the intel into my content system.

Here is the exact prompt. Copy it. Use it. Build your own intelligence system.

THE PROMPT (Copy This Exactly)

```

You are a competitive intelligence analyst for my personal brand on X/Twitter.

TASK: Scrape and analyze the last 50 posts from these competitor accounts:

[LIST YOUR COMPETITORS HERE — e.g., @competitor1, @competitor2, @competitor3]

For EACH competitor, extract and organize:

1. HOOK ANALYSIS

- First line of every post (the hook)

- Categorize each hook type: Question, Bold Claim, Story Open, Data Drop, Controversy, Confession, Scene Drop

- Flag the top 3 highest-engagement hooks

2. CONTENT MIX BREAKDOWN

- What percentage of their posts are: Value/Education, Personality/Story, Authority/Flex, Promotional, Community, Hot Takes

- Compare this to my current mix: [INSERT YOUR MIX HERE]

3. ENGAGEMENT PATTERN ANALYSIS

- Average likes, reposts, replies per post

- Which content types get the MOST engagement vs their average

- Posting times and frequency

- Which posts got 10x their normal engagement (outliers)

4. SENTENCE RHYTHM ANALYSIS

- Average sentence length

- How they structure tension (setup → delay → punchline)

- Use of numbers, specificity, and proof points

- Formatting patterns (line breaks, spacing, lists vs paragraphs)

5. GAP ANALYSIS

- What topics are they NOT covering that I could own?

- What angles are they missing?

- Where is their content weakest?

OUTPUT FORMAT:

• One markdown file per competitor with all analysis
• One summary file with: Top 5 hooks I should adapt, Top 3 content gaps I can exploit, Recommended posting strategy changes
• File everything into my vault at [YOUR FOLDER PATH]

IMPORTANT: Do not copy their content. Extract the PATTERNS. I want to understand WHY their content works, not steal it.

HOW TO SET UP CLAUDE CODE (Step by Step)

What You Need

• A computer (Mac, Windows, or Linux)
• Google Chrome browser
• A Claude account (free or Pro at claude.ai)

Step 1: Install Claude Code CLI (For Power Users)

If you want the FULL experience like in my video (terminal-based, maximum power):

1. Install Node.js — Go to nodejs.org, download and install the LTS version

2. Open your terminal (Command Prompt on Windows, Terminal on Mac)

3. Run this command:

```

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

```

4. Start Claude Code:

```

claude

```

5. Sign in with your Anthropic account when prompted

6. Navigate to your project folder and start giving it commands

Step 2: Set Up the Chrome Extension (Easiest Method)

If you want the browser-based version:

1. Go to claude.ai and sign in to your account

2. Open Chrome Web Store — Search for "Claude" by Anthropic

3. Install the extension — Click "Add to Chrome"

4. Pin the extension — Click the puzzle icon in Chrome toolbar, pin Claude

5. Click the Claude icon in your toolbar to open it on any webpage

6. You can now highlight text on any page and ask Claude to analyze it

Step 3: Using Claude for Competitor Analysis

1. Create a folder for your content system: `mkdir content-brain && cd content-brain`

2. Start Claude Code: `claude`

3. Paste the prompt above

4. Replace the competitor handles with YOUR competitors

5. Let it run. It will create files automatically.

1. Go to claude.ai

2. Paste the prompt above into the chat

3. Replace competitor handles with yours

4. Copy the output and save it to your notes

1. Go to a competitor's X/Twitter profile

2. Click the Claude extension icon

3. Ask: "Analyze the last 20 posts on this page. What hook types are they using? What content mix? What is getting the most engagement?"

4. Repeat for each competitor

PRO TIPS

1. Run this weekly. Competitors change their strategy. Your intel should be fresh.

2. Track outlier posts. Any post that gets 10x their normal engagement is a signal. Study it.

3. Build a hook swipe file. Every good hook you find, save it. Rewrite it in your voice.

4. Never copy. Adapt. The goal is to find patterns, not steal content. Your audience will know.

5. Layer your own data. Combine competitor intel with YOUR performance data. What works for them AND you? That is your sweet spot.

THE SYSTEM BEHIND THE SYSTEM

What you saw in my video is not just one prompt. It is a full content intelligence pipeline:

• Claude Code runs the analysis
• My vault stores every insight, organized by competitor
• My hook index gets updated with new patterns
• My content calendar uses the intel to pick topics that ride current waves

One command. The whole system updates. That is what building with AI looks like.

• TikTok: @big_quiv
• Instagram: @big_quiv

No cap. The future belongs to builders who use AI as a weapon, not a toy.
