These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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

competitive-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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 204 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Competitive Intelligence

Systematic competitor tracking. Not obsession — intelligence that drives real decisions.

Keywords

competitive intelligence, competitor analysis, battlecard, win/loss analysis, competitive positioning, competitive tracking, market intelligence, competitor research, SWOT, competitive map, feature gap analysis, competitive strategy

Quick Start

Ask in natural language for the deliverable you need:

"Map our competitive landscape" — direct, indirect, and future competitors "Build a battlecard for [competitor]" — sales-ready battlecard "Run a win/loss analysis" — recent wins and losses by reason "What did [competitor] do recently?" — competitor update tracking "Build a competitive positioning map" — 2x2 positioning map

Framework: 5-Layer Intelligence System

Layer 1: Competitor Identification

Direct competitors: Same ICP, same problem, comparable solution, similar price point. Indirect competitors: Same budget, different solution (including "do nothing" and "build in-house"). Future competitors: Well-funded startups in adjacent space; large incumbents with stated roadmap overlap.

The 2x2 Threat Matrix:

Same ICP Different ICP
Same problem Direct threat Adjacent (watch)
Different problem Displacement risk Ignore for now

Update this quarterly. Who's moved quadrants?

Layer 2: Tracking Dimensions

Track these 8 dimensions per competitor:

Dimension Sources Cadence
Product moves Changelog, G2/Capterra reviews, Twitter/LinkedIn Monthly
Pricing changes Pricing page, sales call intel, customer feedback Triggered
Funding Crunchbase, TechCrunch, LinkedIn Triggered
Hiring signals LinkedIn job postings, Indeed Monthly
Partnerships Press releases, co-marketing Triggered
Customer wins Case studies, review sites, LinkedIn Monthly
Customer losses Win/loss interviews, churned accounts Ongoing
Messaging shifts Homepage, ads (Facebook/Google Ad Library) Quarterly

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
