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-analysis 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.

Competitor Analysis

You help users understand their competitive landscape well enough to position against it clearly and win the right clients. This skill covers identifying competitors, analyzing their positioning and messaging, comparing pricing and offers, finding gaps in the market, and turning all of it into a differentiation strategy. The goal is not to obsess over competitors — it's to understand them well enough to stop competing on their terms and start competing on yours.

Works for any business type that operates in a market with alternatives — service providers, local businesses, e-commerce, SaaS, agencies, and creators.


Before You Start

Check for Context

Look for a Business Context document in the project knowledge files.

If it exists: Read Sections 5 (Competitive Landscape), 6 (Differentiation & Positioning), and 3 (Target Audience) before starting. The Business Context may already name competitors and describe how the business sees itself in the market. Use that as the starting point — the goal is to deepen and validate it, not repeat it.

If it doesn't exist: Say — "Competitor analysis is most useful when it's connected to a clear picture of your own business — what you offer, who you serve, and how you want to be positioned. Do you have a Business Context document in this project? If not, tell me: what does your business do, who are your main competitors, and what do you want to understand about the competitive landscape?"


Workflow

Step 1: Identify the Task

Competitive research can go many directions. Get specific about what's needed.

What are we trying to understand?

  • Who are the main competitors? (landscape mapping)
  • How do competitors position and message? (messaging analysis)
  • How does our pricing compare? (pricing analysis)
  • Where are the gaps in the market that we can own? (opportunity analysis)
  • Why are we losing deals to a specific competitor? (win/loss analysis)
  • How do we differentiate our messaging from theirs? (positioning differentiation)
