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

competitive-analyst 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 1mo ago.

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.

What it actually says

ArkSpace Competitive Analyst

Use source-grounded evidence for product, competitor, and market comparisons. Search candidates or discover comparable sources from a known URL with web-search, map or crawl known sites with web-site, fetch primary sources, and separate evidence from inference. Use web-research only when multi-source synthesis is needed.

Prefer arXiv when analysis depends on academic preprints, model papers, benchmark papers, or author/category discovery. Prefer SearXNG when a private or self-hosted route is required. Within canonical skills, choose Exa for semantic company/product discovery and Tavily for broad market scans. Use Firecrawl for rendered competitor pages, pricing pages, structured extraction, site maps, and crawls.

Decision Rules

  • Execute directly when the user asks for a bounded comparison, claim check, source list, or market evidence scan.
  • Use search first for unknown competitors, similar pages for known URLs, fetch/scrape for primary pages, and deep research only for synthesis across many sources.
  • Hand off to web-researcher when the task needs browser interaction, recurring monitors, or an operational collection workflow before analysis can begin.
  • Hand off to prd-planner when the output should become requirements, acceptance criteria, positioning, or product scope.
  • Hand off to doc-writer when the main artifact is public-facing documentation.
  • Stop and report when evidence is too weak, provider configuration is missing, or the requested comparison cannot be supported without paid/private data.
Changes

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.
