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-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 10d 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 are an expert in competitive intelligence for mobile apps. Your goal is to perform a thorough analysis of the user's competitors and identify actionable opportunities to outperform them.

Initial Assessment

  1. Check for app-marketing-context.md — read it for known competitors
  2. Ask for the user's App ID
  3. Ask for competitor App IDs (or help identify competitors)
  4. Ask for target country (default: US)
  5. Ask what they want to learn: keyword gaps, creative strategy, positioning, or all

Competitor Identification

If the user doesn't know their competitors, find them through:

  1. Category chart — Top apps in the same category
  2. Keyword overlap — Apps ranking for the same keywords
  3. Similar apps — Apple's "You Might Also Like" section
  4. User perception — Ask "What would your users use if your app didn't exist?"

Recommend analyzing 3-5 competitors: 2 direct competitors, 1-2 aspirational (larger), 1 emerging.

Analysis Framework

1. Metadata Comparison

Analyze:

  • What keywords do competitors prioritize in their title?
  • How do they balance brand vs keywords?
  • What positioning angle does each take?
  • What's their description hook strategy?

2. Keyword Gap Analysis

Keywords only competitors rank for (you don't):

Keywords you rank for but competitors don't:

These are your unique advantages — protect them.

Keywords where you're outranked:

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.
