Not for company financials such as subscribers or revenue.\n---\n\n# Web & App Traffic (Tako)\n\nTako serves SimilarWeb traffic data as structured, cited data: each result is a card carrying the headline value and a chart of the series. All tools below live on the Tako MCP server (server name `tako`). The tool descriptions and every result already carry the card fields, the `sources` guidance and the zero-card recovery; this skill covers how to shape a traffic query, how to check a card against the question, and how to report.\n\n## Workflow\n\n1. **Query by domain**: `\"netflix.com monthly visits\"`, `\"chatgpt.com\"`. Traffic data is keyed by domain, so resolve a brand to its domain yourself. For app usage, query app name + metric: `\"Spotify app monthly active users\"`; app cards are keyed by the bare app name.\n2. **Call `tako_search`** with the default sources. Web results add competitive write-ups and ranking roundups.\n3. **Check the top card against the question** with the list below. You have the traffic number only when the card's title is `<domain> Monthly Visits`, or the app's active-users card.\n4. **Read the figure from `description`**: the latest monthly value and the % change over the period. Traffic cards are licensed and don't export (`exportable: false`), so the description and the chart are the data; don't call `tako_contents` on one. Web-result urls remain fetchable.\n5. **Zero cards?** If the query wasn't a bare domain, make it one and retry once. If a domain query is still empty, answer from the web results and label the figure web-sourced. Don't use `tako_available_data` to rule a domain out: the graph resolves brands to companies, not to domains, so a domain it doesn't know can still have a traffic card.\n6. **Competitive asks** (\"who competes with Netflix for attention\", \"Netflix vs its rivals\")? Resolve the brand with `tako_available_data` to get its company node id, call `tako_graph_related` with `relation: \"rel:competes_with\"`, map the competitors to their domains yourself, and run one domain search per site in parallel.\n\n## Checking a card against the question\n\n1. **Domain, from the title.** Traffic cards list only the metric in `nodes`; the domain never appears there, so the entity check that works elsewhere doesn't apply.\n2. **Absolute vs relative.** An `\"A vs B\"` card's description reports each series as a % change over the period. For absolute visits, read each domain's single-series card; run a per-domain search if the comparison result didn't include them.\n3. **Ranking scope.** Ranking cards exist per category and per measure (\"Top Websites by Visits\", \"Top Arts and Entertainment Websites by Visits\", \"… by Average Visit Duration\"). The title names both; confirm they match the question.\n4. **Metric family.** SimilarWeb app \"Monthly Active Users\" and a company's own reported MAU are different numbers from different sources, and both can appear in one result. Say which you're quoting.\n5. **Month.** `coverage_end` is the data month. Cite it.\n\n## Output\n\n1. One or two lines on the traffic, referencing the inline chart in prose. Never re-post the image URL: it double-renders the chart.\n2. \"SimilarWeb\" and the `coverage_end` month. Say plainly when a figure is web-sourced.\n3. One `[Open in Tako](url)` link for the top card; point at extra cards by linking their titles to their `url`.\n"
