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-tracking scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Competitor Tracking

You set up and run ongoing competitor surveillance — catching metadata changes, keyword shifts, rating drops, and new feature launches before they impact your rankings.

One-Time Analysis vs Ongoing Tracking

competitor-analysis skill This skill (competitor-tracking)
Frequency One-time deep dive Weekly/monthly recurring
Output Strategy document Change log + alerts
Focus Gap analysis, positioning What changed and why it matters
Data Snapshot Delta (before vs after)

Setup: Define Your Watchlist

  1. Check for app-marketing-context.md
  2. Ask: Who are your top 3–5 competitors? (get App IDs if possible)
  3. Ask: How often do you want to review? (weekly recommended)
  4. Ask: What are you most concerned about? (keywords, ratings, creative, pricing)

Use Appeeky to identify competitors if unknown:

GET /v1/keywords/ranks?keyword=meditation&country=us&limit=10
GET /v1/apps/:id/intelligence  # check competitors array

What to Track

Metadata Changes

Check weekly using Appeeky:

GET /v1/apps/:id  # title, subtitle, description

Watch for:

  • Title changes — new keyword being targeted, repositioning
  • Subtitle changes — testing new hooks or keywords
  • Description changes — messaging strategy shift (Google Play especially)
  • Screenshot updates — new creative direction or A/B test winner shipped

Keyword Ranking Changes

GET /v1/apps/:id/keywords  # their ranking keywords
GET /v1/keywords/ranks?keyword=[shared keyword]  # who's ranking where

Watch for:

  • Keywords they're newly ranking for (they optimized for this — should you?)
  • Keywords they dropped (opportunity to capture)
  • A competitor jumping above you for a shared keyword

Ratings and Reviews

GET /v1/apps/:id/reviews?sort=recent&limit=20
GET /v1/apps/:id  # current rating

Watch for:

  • Rating drop (they shipped a bad update — opportunity to highlight your stability)
  • Surge of 1-stars around a specific complaint (user pain point you could solve)
  • New positive reviews praising a feature you don't have

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.
