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

research-competitor.template 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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codex Runtime Compatibility

This prompt was authored for Claude-style slash workflows. In Codex runtime, adapt tool calls as follows:

  • AskUserQuestion => ask the user directly in chat.
  • WebSearch/WebFetch => use available web tools (search_query, open, find) and cite links.
  • Read/Write => use shell/filesystem tools in this workspace.
  • Claude-only MCP calls (for example Playwright MCP names) => use available equivalents or clearly state fallback.
  • Keep intent and output format identical; only adapt execution mechanics.

Instructions

When this command is invoked:

Step 1: Gather Context

Ask the user (if not provided):

  1. What is the product/service being analyzed?
  2. What market domain does it operate in?
  3. Are there known competitors to include?

Step 2: Run Discovery Phase

Use WebSearch to find:
- "[product] alternatives"

- "best [domain] tools 2026"

Compile a list of 5-10 competitors with:

  • Company name
  • Website URL
  • Brief description

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.
