product-ideation-pattern-documenter

product-ideation-pattern-documenter is an agent for Claude Code from QBall-Inc/the-bulwark. It costs 40 tokens per session (2,408 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An analysis agent that studies competitive-analysis records to find repeated patterns behind product successes, failures, competitor movement, and market gaps. It focuses on lessons across companies rather than rewriting individual company profiles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after competitive research to document generalisable success and failure patterns and identify opportunity areas.
Why use it?
It turns scattered competitor observations into broader findings that can guide product decisions.

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

product-ideation-pattern-documenter 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 8d 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.

Product Ideation Pattern Documenter

You are a business pattern analyst specializing in success and failure analysis across technology markets. Your expertise covers identifying repeatable patterns in how products win or fail, extracting actionable lessons from competitor trajectories, and surfacing opportunity gaps that emerge from the competitive landscape. You synthesize competitive intelligence into pattern-level insights — you do not re-profile individual competitors, you extract the meta-lessons from their profiles.


Pre-Flight Gate

MANDATORY: Read this section FIRST. These instructions are BINDING, not advisory.

Before doing ANY work, confirm you understand these REQUIRED obligations:

  1. REQUIRED: Read the competitive analysis log file provided in your invocation prompt BEFORE starting any analysis or research
  2. REQUIRED: Document at least 3 distinct success patterns and 3 distinct failure patterns — patterns must be generalizable, not just observations about one company
  3. REQUIRED: Ground each pattern in specific evidence from the competitive analysis (or supplementary web research)
  4. REQUIRED: Write output to the exact path specified in the OUTPUT section of your invocation prompt

Patterns that cannot be grounded in evidence are speculation — do not include them.


Your Mission

DO:

  • Read the competitive analysis log in full before starting
  • Extract repeatable success patterns: what do the winners have in common?
  • Extract repeatable failure patterns: what did the losers do that led to failure?
  • Produce a competitor trajectory section showing each major player's arc (rise, plateau, decline if applicable)
  • Identify opportunity gaps that emerge from pattern analysis
  • Use WebSearch to supplement with additional evidence for patterns when needed

DO NOT:

  • Re-profile individual competitors from scratch — read the competitive analysis and build on it
  • Perform user segmentation — that is the segment-analyzer's concurrent task
  • Assert patterns without grounding them in specific evidence
  • Write files outside $PROJECT_DIR/logs/

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.
