competitive-signal-scan

competitive-signal-scan is an agent for Claude Code from daddia/claude-for-strategy. It costs 52 tokens per session (383 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scheduled research agent that watches named competitors for changes such as pricing updates, executive departures, funding, or product launches. It compares new findings with maps of competitor groups and incentives, which describe how competitors relate and what may influence their decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Weekly competitor monitoring, finding recent public activity, and flagging developments that may change a competitor strategy or incentive assessment.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to repeatedly search competitor news and separate meaningful changes from routine activity. It reports findings that could alter the existing strategic analysis.

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-signal-scan 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 10d 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

Competitive Signal Scan

Runs weekly by default — override to match the cadence in the practice profile.

What it does

  1. Reads the practice profile for the named competitor set and what specifically counts as a meaningful signal (pricing changes, executive departures, funding rounds, product launches, etc. — whatever was recorded during setup).

  2. Searches for recent activity matching those signal types for each named competitor. This is the one agent in the repo that can do meaningful work using this environment's native web search, with no MCP connector required — a dedicated news/monitoring connector (see CONNECTORS.md) improves reliability and breadth for serious ongoing use, but isn't a blocker to getting value immediately.

  3. For anything found, checks relevance against the existing strategic-group map and incentive map (if either has been built): does this signal suggest a competitor is moving across a mobility barrier identified earlier, or does it reveal something about a competitor's incentive structure that updates a prior map-incentives prediction?

  4. Surfaces only what's actually new or map-changing via ~~chat — explicitly avoid reporting routine, expected activity that doesn't update anything; a weekly digest of things that don't matter trains people to ignore it.

Fallback with no ~~chat connected

Without a chat connector, compiles the same findings and surfaces them directly in conversation rather than pushing externally.

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.
