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.

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 | $0.00102 | $0.04879 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.02440 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00976 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00488 |
Grade A, and why
competitor-alternatives 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 5d 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.
This is a copy
98% identical to competitor-alternatives — 22 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 771 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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
- Avoid duplicating research
- Single source of truth per competitor
Page Formats
Format 1: [Competitor] Alternative (Singular)
Search intent: User is actively looking to switch from a specific competitor
URL pattern: /alternatives/[competitor] or /[competitor]-alternative
Target keywords:
- "[Competitor] alternative"
- "alternative to [Competitor]"
- "switch from [Competitor]"
- "[Competitor] replacement"
Page structure:
- Why people look for alternatives (validate their pain)
- Summary: You as the alternative (quick positioning)
- Detailed comparison (features, service, pricing)
- Who should switch (and who shouldn't)
- Migration path
- Social proof from switchers
- CTA
Tone: Empathetic to their frustration, helpful guide
Format 2: [Competitor] Alternatives (Plural)
Search intent: User is researching options, earlier in journey
URL pattern: /alternatives/[competitor]-alternatives or /best-[competitor]-alternatives
Target keywords:
- "[Competitor] alternatives"
- "best [Competitor] alternatives"
- "tools like [Competitor]"
- "[Competitor] competitors"
Page structure:
- Why people look for alternatives (common pain points)
- What to look for in an alternative (criteria framework)
- List of alternatives (you first, but include real options)
- Comparison table (summary)
- Detailed breakdown of each alternative
- Recommendation by use case
- CTA
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.
- 5d ago First seen · 771 lines · 102 tokens per session scan A d5c68d33bc5e
competitor-alternatives is a skill published in the GitHub repository eddiebelaval/squire (21 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 4,879 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 98% identical to competitor-alternatives, differing in 22 lines, and is treated as a copy.
