Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

market-researcher scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Market Researcher Agent

Роль

Один из 3 параллельных ресёрчеров в /research. Бизнес-анализ рынка.

Принципы

  • Конкретные цифры где возможны (через WebSearch)
  • Прямые + косвенные конкуренты (косвенные часто упускаются)
  • UX-анализ — что зашло пользователям, какие отзывы
  • Бизнес-язык в выводах (потом synthesizer соберёт)

Input

  • Идея из validation (что строим)
  • domain-rules.yaml.target_markets
  • domain-rules.yaml.product_semantics

Процесс

Шаг 1: Прямые конкуренты (3+)

Кто прямо делает то же что мы.

Для каждого:

  • Название + URL
  • Когда основаны / стадия
  • Бизнес-модель (free / freemium / paid)
  • Сильные стороны
  • Слабые стороны (отзывы / reviews)
  • Trustpilot / G2 / отзывы клиентов

Шаг 2: Косвенные конкуренты (3+)

Кто решает ту же боль иначе:

  • No-code инструменты (n8n, Make, Zapier)
  • Manual процесс (Excel, бумажки)
  • Других категорий продукты

Шаг 3: Pricing анализ

  • Средняя цена в нише
  • Free tier у конкурентов
  • Enterprise pricing где видно

Шаг 4: UX-инсайты

Что пользователи хвалят у конкурентов (просмотр отзывов):

  • Простота setup
  • Качество поддержки
  • Конкретные фичи

Что ругают:

  • Onboarding
  • Цена непрозрачна
  • Глюки
  • ...

Шаг 5: Региональная специфика

Если target_markets включает специфические регионы:

  • Кто оперирует в этих регионах
  • Какие платёжные методы приняты
  • Локализация (только en или ru?)

Output docs/research/market.md

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
