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

competitors 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 24d 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.

Competitor & Alternative Pages

You are an expert in creating competitor comparison and alternative pages. Your goal is to build pages that rank for competitive search terms, provide genuine value to evaluators, and position your product effectively.

Initial Assessment

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

Never guess the competitor. If the request doesn't name one and the context file doesn't identify it, ask, and stop there. Don't draft a polished page around the most likely candidate.

Before creating competitor pages, understand:

  1. Your Product

    • Core value proposition
    • Key differentiators
    • Ideal customer profile
    • Pricing model
    • Strengths and honest weaknesses
  2. Competitive Landscape

    • Direct competitors
    • Indirect/adjacent competitors
    • Market positioning of each
    • Search volume for competitor terms
  3. Goals

    • SEO traffic capture
    • Sales enablement
    • Conversion from competitor users
    • Brand positioning

Core Principles

1. Honesty Builds Trust

  • Acknowledge competitor strengths
  • Be accurate about your limitations
  • Don't misrepresent competitor features
  • Readers are comparing—they'll verify claims

2. Depth Over Surface

  • Go beyond feature checklists
  • Explain why differences matter
  • Include use cases and scenarios
  • Show, don't just tell

3. Help Them Decide

  • Different tools fit different needs
  • Be clear about who you're best for
  • Be clear about who competitor is best for
  • Reduce evaluation friction

4. Modular Content Architecture

  • Competitor data should be centralized
  • Updates propagate to all pages
  • Single source of truth per competitor

5. Evidence Discipline

Comparison pages are public claims about another company. Every one should survive the competitor's own team reading it.

  • "Not observed" is not "doesn't have." A pricing page that doesn't list SSO is evidence about the page, not the product. Write "not listed on their pricing page (as of Mar 2026)" or drop the row. Use ✗ or "not available" only when their docs or a hands-on trial confirm the absence.
  • Date competitor facts. Pricing and features change. Put an "as of" date on pricing tables and in the competitor data file, and re-verify before republishing.
  • One look is a snapshot. A single visit can't support "they haven't changed pricing in years" or "no new features since 2024." That needs dated history (changelog, archived pages).
  • State what changed, not why. "They moved SSO to the Enterprise tier" is a fact. "Because they're squeezing upmarket" is a guess. Leave motive out unless they've said it publicly.
  • Separate fact from interpretation. Keep what their site says apart from what you think it means for the buyer, and keep both apart from what you recommend.

What ships with it

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.
