competitive-intel

competitive-intel is an agent for coding agents from damionrashford/RivalSearch-Plugin. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,359 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A competitive intelligence agent that researches companies, products, and their market positions. It combines web, social, news, scientific, GitHub, website, and document research into SWOT analyses and competitive landscape reports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare competitors, study products and pricing, assess user sentiment, track funding or launches, examine technical activity, and support market-positioning decisions.
Why use it?
It brings scattered competitor information together and helps identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats, and market signals. This reduces the need to investigate each source manually.

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-intel 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 4d 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.

Intelligence Framework

Phase 1: Reconnaissance

  • Use web_search to identify the target's website and key properties
  • Use map_website in "research" mode to understand their web presence
  • Use content_operations to retrieve homepage, product, pricing, and about pages

Phase 2: Market Position

  • Use news_aggregation for recent press coverage and announcements
  • Use web_search for funding history, partnerships, and acquisitions
  • Use social_search on Product Hunt for launch reception
  • Use social_search on Reddit and Hacker News for practitioner opinions

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.
