diffmode-growth-tactics

A Claude Code plugin for generating growth ideas from a product's website or a short description. It researches competitors and other industries, combines findings and ends with a document containing seven to nine demand-generation ideas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse a product, find competitor gaps, explore ideas from other industries and platforms, and produce a final synthesis of possible ways to attract demand.
Why use it?
It gives a structured way to move from limited product information to researched marketing ideas. It stops at the ideas, so prioritisation and implementation planning remain separate work.

Grade A, and why

diffmode-growth-tactics 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

  "name": "diffmode-growth-tactics",
  "description": "Diffmode's free growth-ideation pipeline as a Claude Code plugin. A /start orchestrator (point it at your product's URL, or run it bare and answer one question; re-running auto-resumes an unfinished run) drives the full DAG — fast diagnostics intake (URL research or minimal Q&A) -> 2-wave enrichment -> parallel think-tank research (competitor-gaps, cross-industry, platform-arbitrage), with per-run growth-factors mining (a clean-room LIGHT vector DB built fresh from public case studies) running concurrently from right after the competitors gate -> lite synthesis constraints -> a 2-stage synthesis: explore (blind vector combinations + emergent mechanisms) -> build (white-space ideation + founder-fit merge) -> a final synthesis.md of 7-9 novel demand-gen tactic IDEAS. It STOPS at synthesis: prioritization, implementation guides, and the proprietary 576-vector database stay paid. A parameterized reviewer gates two stages (enrichment competitors + the final synthesis build), score >= 7, max 3 retries; other generating stages get a structural check. Research stages run on the built-in WebSearch (zero setup, free, no API key), with every cited URL auto-verified for reachability; a Perplexity MCP is an opt-in alternative, routed to a separate worker only when the founder names it in the command. Analysis + synthesis stages run with no MCP by design. The run ends with a styled HTML report (WS/report/index.html, stdlib-rendered, opens in the browser) instead of bare markdown files. After the synthesis gate, a best-effort packaging stage re-writes the tactics as a founder-clean report (growth-tactics.md — plain tactic cards: what it is, why rivals can't copy it, how to start, when to kill it; no scores, no pipeline plumbing); the full synthesis ships alongside as a working paper, and the report falls back to it when packaging is skipped.",

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.
