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

competitor-research 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SEO Content: Competitor Research

Guides competitor research for SEO, content, backlinks, and positioning. Use when planning content, auditing articles, building links, or evaluating market position.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Research Types

Type Purpose Output
Keyword/topic Topics competitors rank for; gaps Keyword opportunities; content ideas
Content Structure, length, gaps vs top rankers Length target; H2 structure; content gaps
Backlink Link profile; sites linking to competitors Link gap; outreach targets
Pricing Competitor pricing, positioning Pricing context; differentiation
SEO metrics Organic traffic, rankings vs competitors Benchmark; opportunity areas

Competitor Keyword / Topic Analysis

Method Practice
Reverse engineering Analyze competitor titles, H1, URL; identify topics they rank for
SERP overlap Keywords with overlapping top-ranking pages → same cluster; #4–10 = opportunity
site: operator site:competitor.com to see indexed pages
Tool Ahrefs, Semrush—competitor keyword overlap, gap analysis

Output: Keyword opportunities; topics competitors cover that you don't.

Competitor Content Analysis

Element Check
Word count Top 10 average; length target for your content
H2 structure Topics covered; structure to adopt
Content gaps What top rankers cover that you miss
Keyword placement Primary keyword in title, H1, first 100 words
Format Lists, tables, FAQ; match or improve

Use when: Auditing or creating articles; see article-page-generator for Research Phase integration.

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.
