## What it does

The skill runs the `apidojo~tweet-scraper` actor on Apify against queries like `[COMPETITOR] hiring` or `[COMPETITOR] job opening`. You get back a table with the company handle, the role, the department, the posting date, urgency cues and a growth score. Handy when you want to see which departments a competitor is expanding right now.

Five steps sit behind it: define parameters, run the actor, classify the results, score them, deliver the output. Classification is blunt — more than 5 roles a month reads as aggressive growth, 2–5 as steady, 1–2 as one-off postings. The score combines roles posted in 30 days, department weight and urgency language. Engineering roles count for more.

You need `APIFY_TOKEN` in your environment or in a `.env` file before anything runs. No token, no actor — check that first. Launch it with `scripts/run_actor.js` and save to CSV or JSON, through the Apify MCP server, or with a plain `curl` call to the REST API. Under 20 results, the skill tells you to widen the search terms and drop secondary filters.
