Intelica — Competitive Intelligence Skill

⚠️ DATA PRIVACY NOTICE: This skill sends the provided company name, URL, description, and context to the Intelica API (api.intelica.dev), a third-party service. Do NOT submit confidential business plans, proprietary strategy, regulated data (HIPAA, GDPR-sensitive), or personally identifiable information. Use only for publicly available companies and markets. Paid calls ($0.05–$1.00 USDC) are made autonomously when a payment method is configured — set budget controls before enabling autonomous use.

Intelica returns structured competitive intelligence for a specific named company or market. Invoke only when the agent has a clear, scoped target and the user has approved external data submission.

When to use

Agent needs competitor analysis on a specific named company before a strategic decision
Founder needs a market entry report for a specific new geography
Agent is evaluating a specific DeFi protocol before entering a position
Sales agent needs a battlecard for a specific upcoming demo
VC agent screening a specific investment opportunity
Compliance officer evaluating regulatory risk for a specific company or product

When NOT to use

General market questions without a specific named target
Internal strategy or confidential business planning
Regulated or sensitive data (medical records, financial PII, legal documents)
When local reasoning or public knowledge is sufficient
Without explicit user approval for third-party data submission

Budget controls (important for autonomous agents)

Standard analysis: $0.05 USDC per call
Elite analysis: $1.00 USDC per call
Batch (up to 10): $0.20 USDC
Always use /demo (free) to validate before enabling paid autonomous calls
Set operator_id to enforce daily budget limits per pipeline
Results cached 6 hours — same company twice costs once

Response trust protocol (M2M)

The response includes root-level fields for programmatic trust validation:

{
  "sources": ["url1", "url2"],
  "confidence": "high | medium | low",
  "market_score": {
    "threat_level": "high | medium | low",
    "moat_strength": 0.72,
    "agent_recommendation": "monitor | counter | partner | acquire"
  },
  "analysis": { ... }
}

Agent decision pipeline:

Check sources[] — if fewer than 2 URLs, treat confidence as low
Check confidence — if low, do not execute autonomous actions
Check market_score.agent_recommendation — use as primary action signal
Read analysis{} for full context
