## Workflow

### Step 1: Identify Competitors

Use `web_search` to find competitor products:

1. Search `"[product category]" site:amazon.com` — identify top products by relevance
2. Search `"[your main keyword]" amazon best sellers` — find category leaders
3. Extract ASINs, current prices, ratings, and BSR data from search results

### Step 2: Baseline Data Collection

For each competitor ASIN, use `web_fetch` to gather current state:
- Product title and current price
- Best Seller Rank and category position
- Customer rating and review count
- Availability status (in stock/low stock/out of stock)
- Prime eligibility and shipping options

### Step 3: Historical Context Research

Use `web_search` to understand competitor patterns:
1. Search `"[ASIN] price history discount"` — find pricing pattern information
2. Search `"[brand] new product launch amazon"` — detect launch patterns
3. Search `"[ASIN] reviews complaints issues"` — identify competitor weaknesses

### Step 4: Competitive Analysis Report

Synthesize findings into actionable insights following the output format below.
