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

competitive-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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Competitive Teardown

Process

1. Define the Comparison Set

  • Direct competitors — Same problem, same audience
  • Indirect competitors — Same audience, different approach
  • Aspirational references — Different category, similar quality bar

2. Experience the Product (don't just screenshot it)

  • Complete the onboarding flow
  • Try the core use case end-to-end
  • Hit an error state
  • Try to cancel/delete/undo
  • Use it on mobile
  • Read their support docs

3. Analyze Systematically

UX Patterns
Pattern Competitor A Competitor B Our Product
Onboarding ... ... ...
Navigation ... ... ...
Core action ... ... ...
Empty states ... ... ...
Error handling ... ... ...
Design Quality
  • Visual hierarchy clarity (1-5)
  • Typography quality (1-5)
  • Color system coherence (1-5)
  • Interaction feedback (1-5)
  • Accessibility (1-5)
  • Mobile experience (1-5)
  • Loading/performance (1-5)
Positioning
  • What do they claim to be?
  • What are they actually?
  • Who are they really serving?
  • What's their pricing strategy?
  • How do they differentiate?

4. Identify Opportunities

Gaps — What do all competitors do poorly? Conventions — What patterns are consistent (probably necessary)? Differentiators — Where could we be meaningfully different? Risks — What are competitors doing that we should worry about?

Output Format

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.
