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-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 25d 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.

$ARGUMENTS


Actionability first: Every finding should answer "so what?" If it doesn't inform a decision, it doesn't belong.

Recency matters: Focus on the last 30-60 days. Archive older news.

Trust but verify: Cross-reference claims. Official sources over rumors.

Stay objective: Report what you find, not what you hope to find.

Understanding the product means extracting its essence from repository files. Read README, package.json, and project documentation to grasp what problem this solves, who it's for, and what technologies it uses. This context shapes everything else.

Finding competitors requires thinking like a product manager. Search for alternatives to the value proposition, comparison articles, and community discussions about similar tools. Prioritize companies with funding, active development, and real market presence. Create files for the top 5-8 most relevant competitors.

Discovering topics means identifying what technologies and trends matter to this product. Look at dependencies, protocols mentioned in docs, and industry-specific developments. Focus on 3-5 core topics that directly impact the product's strategy or technical direction.

Maintaining Intelligence:

Competitor research should uncover what they've shipped, how they're positioning themselves, and where they're strong or weak. Use official sources first (changelogs, blogs, docs), then community signals, then news. Look for changes that create opportunities or threats. Update files with dated, sourced findings that answer "so what?"

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.
