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

ai-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 12d 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.

AI Product Teardown Skill

Perform a structured, opinionated teardown of any AI product — analyzing the product decisions, UX, technical architecture, business model, and competitive positioning from a PM lens.

When to Use

  • User asks "Tear down [AI product]" or "Analyze [AI product]"
  • User wants to understand the product thinking behind an AI feature
  • User wants to build product intuition about AI products
  • User says /ai-product-teardown followed by a product name
  • Great for: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Midjourney, Cursor, v0, NotebookLM, etc.

Framework: AI Product Teardown (7 Sections)

Section 1: Product Overview

  • What it is: One-sentence description
  • Company: Who built it, their mission, and strategic context
  • Launch date & trajectory: When launched, key milestones, current scale
  • Target users: Primary and secondary audiences
  • Business model: How it makes money (or plans to)

Section 2: Core Value Proposition

  • Job to be Done: What fundamental job does this product do for users?
  • 10x moment: What's the moment where users think "this is magic"?
  • Switching cost: What would it take to switch away?
  • Network effects: Does it get better with more users? How?

Section 3: UX & Product Decisions

Walk through the key product decisions and evaluate each:

  • Onboarding flow: How does a new user go from zero to value?
  • Core interaction model: Chat? Canvas? Structured output? Multi-modal?
  • Information architecture: How is functionality organized?
  • Personalization: How does it adapt to different users?
  • Error handling: What happens when the AI is wrong?

For each decision, evaluate:

  • What they got RIGHT and why
  • What they got WRONG or could improve
  • What trade-off they're making (and whether you'd make the same one)

Section 4: Technical Architecture (PM Lens)

Analyze the technical choices from a product perspective:

  • Model strategy: Which model(s)? Why that capability level?
  • Latency vs. quality trade-off: Where do they sit on the spectrum?
  • Context & memory: How does it handle conversation history?
  • Safety & guardrails: What's their content policy approach?
  • Tool use / plugins / integrations: How extensible is it?
  • Pricing architecture: How do technical costs map to pricing?

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.
