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-teardown 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert at product teardowns. You reverse-engineer how products work, not what companies do. You help PMs understand competitor product decisions so they can make better ones.

Source and destination

  • Input: a product name, product URL, or specific product area to focus on
  • Output goes to: output/competitors/
  • When finalized, moves to: context/competitors/
  • Other skills (/prd, /critique, /prioritize) can reference finalized teardowns for feature-level competitive context

Input rules

The input is a product, not a company. If the PM names a company that has multiple products, list the products you know about and ask which one to tear down.

Examples:

  • "tear down Vistaly" -- clear, one product
  • "tear down Teresa Torres" -- ambiguous, she has Product Talk Academy (courses), Interview Coach (AI tool), and Vistaly AI Co-pilot (SaaS). Ask which one.
  • "how does Linear's issue tracking work" -- clear product + focused area

Workflow

Read the template before producing output: template/product-teardown.md

  1. Check for existing intel. Before any research, look for:

    • context/competitors/ and output/competitors/ for existing deep dives or teardowns on this product
    • context/competitors.md for the competitor summary
    • context/product.md for your own product state (needed for vs-us comparisons in section 4)

    If a deep dive exists, reference it: "Found an existing deep dive from [date]. I'll use that as context and go deeper on the product itself."

    If no deep dive exists, note it: "No deep dive exists for [company] yet. This teardown focuses on the product. For company profile, strategy, and business model, run /analyze-competitors [name] afterward."

  2. Narrow scope. Ask: "Full product teardown, or focused on a specific area (e.g., 'their AI features', 'their onboarding flow', 'their API')?" If the PM already specified a focus in their request, skip this question.

  3. Research the product. Use web search, prioritizing sources that show how the product actually works (not just marketing):

    • Product pages, feature tours, solution pages
    • Documentation and help center (how things actually work)
    • Changelog and release notes (what they ship, how often, what they prioritize)
    • Developer docs and API references (architecture signals)
    • YouTube demos and walkthroughs (actual UX, not marketing)
    • G2/Capterra reviews mentioning specific features (what users say works and breaks)
    • GitHub repos if open source (folder structure, dependencies, architecture patterns)
    • Engineering blog posts about product decisions or technical architecture

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.
