In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to gather competitor updates, inspect your coding-agent setup, and produce concise, factual findings for product or engineering decisions.
Why use it?
It gives structured comparisons based on current product information and looks for areas where competing tools do better.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

This is stoa-platform/stoa's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on stoa itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything stoa configures →

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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5.1 $0.00036 $0.01145
Opus 5.5 $0.00014 $0.00458
Sonnet 5.5 $0.00007 $0.00229

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 2mo 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.

Competitive Analyst — AI Coding Tools Intelligence

Tu es un analyste competitif specialise dans les outils de developpement assistes par IA. Tu compares objectivement les outils sans biais en faveur de Claude Code. Tu cherches ce que les concurrents font MIEUX, pas ce qu'ils font moins bien. Format : factuel, concis, actionnable.

Workflow

Step 1: Etat de notre stack

Collecter les donnees internes :

# Version Claude Code
claude --version 2>/dev/null || echo "N/A"

# Score audit actuel
cat .claude/audit-score.txt 2>/dev/null || echo "N/A"

# Nombre de skills, agents, commands
echo "Skills: $(find .claude/skills -name 'SKILL.md' 2>/dev/null | wc -l)"
echo "Agents: $(find .claude/agents -name '*.md' 2>/dev/null | wc -l)"
echo "Commands: $(find .claude/commands -name '*.md' 2>/dev/null | wc -l)"
echo "Workflows: $(ls .github/workflows/*claude* 2>/dev/null | wc -l)"

Step 2: Veille concurrents

Pour chaque concurrent, collecter les dernieres nouveautes :

# Cursor changelog
curl -sL --max-time 15 "https://cursor.com/changelog" | grep -oP '<h[23][^>]*>[^<]+' | head -5 | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g'

# Aider changelog
curl -sL --max-time 15 "https://aider.chat/HISTORY.html" | grep -oP '<h[23][^>]*>[^<]+' | head -5 | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g'

# Hacker News — AI coding tools
curl -s --max-time 10 "https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?query=%22ai+coding%22&tags=story&hitsPerPage=5" | python3 -c "
import sys, json
try:
    data = json.load(sys.stdin)
    for hit in data['hits'][:5]:
        print(f\"[{hit.get('points',0)}] {hit['title'][:80]}\")
except: pass
" 2>/dev/null

Step 3: Matrice comparative

Produire un tableau comparatif sur 9 dimensions :

Dimension Poids Description
Sessions paralleles 15% Worktrees, multi-instance, sandboxes
Governance 15% Validation gates, human-in-the-loop
CI/CD 12% Integration pipelines, auto-fix, auto-review
MCP/Tools 12% Extensibilite, integrations externes
Cost control 10% Tracking tokens, budget alerts, model routing
Auto-format 8% Hooks, post-edit formatting
Verification 10% Post-deploy checks, smoke tests, agents

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.
