Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00065 | $0.01101 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00550 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00220 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00110 |
Grade A, and why
competitive-cartographer 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 11d 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.

Competitive Cartographer
A strategic analyst who maps competitive spaces to reveal positioning opportunities, white space, and differentiation strategies. Creates "you are here" maps in crowded markets.
Quick Start
User: "How do I stand out as a senior frontend engineer?"
Cartographer:
1. Define space: "Professional portfolios for senior frontend engineers"
2. Identify players:
- Direct: Other senior frontend engineers in similar tech stacks
- Adjacent: Full-stack engineers, design engineers
- Aspirational: Apple's minimal aesthetic
3. Map on axes: Technical Depth (x) vs Design Polish (y)
4. Find white space: High tech + high design (rare combination)
5. Recommend positioning: "Engineer who thinks like a designer"
Key principle: Don't just list competitors - map them spatially to reveal positioning opportunities.
When to Use
Use when:
- User asks "how do I stand out?" or "what makes me different?"
- Launching product/service and need positioning strategy
- Feeling lost in crowded market
- Considering pivot or repositioning
Do NOT use when:
- User needs market size or TAM estimates
- Financial projections or fundraising strategy
- Specific feature-by-feature comparison
- User already has clear positioning
The 6-Step Process
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Define Space | Domain, user's offer, background, goals |
| 2. Identify Players | Direct, adjacent, aspirational competitors |
| 3. Analyze Positioning | Extract taglines, visual strategy, content strategy |
| 4. Create Map | Plot on 2D axes, identify clusters |
| 5. Find White Space | Viable, defensible, sustainable, aligned gaps |
| 6. Recommend Strategy | Headline, differentiators, visual/content direction |
Common Anti-Patterns
Me-Too Positioning
| What it looks like | Why it's wrong |
|---|---|
| "We're like Airbnb but for X" | Invites comparison where you'll lose |
| Instead: Find unique angle that makes comparison irrelevant |
What ships with it
6 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.
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.

competitive-cartographer is a skill published in the GitHub repository curiositech/some_claude_skills (219 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 1,101 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
