competitive-positioning

competitive-positioning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from event4u-app/agent-config. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,535 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured way to compare a package with a peer, competitor, or reference project using agreed decision criteria.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding whether to adopt another project's pattern or explaining how two packages differ.
Why use it?
It replaces vague feature comparisons with a written view of trade-offs, adoption cost, and future flexibility.

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-positioning 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 6d 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.

competitive-positioning

When to use

  • A peer / reference / competitor repository was named and the team needs a structured comparison, not a vibes summary.
  • A pattern from another package is being considered for adoption and the trade-off needs to land in writing.
  • Positioning prose for a README / launch / pricing page needs an ours-vs-theirs decisions table to anchor on.

Do NOT use for general repo audits (route to analyze-reference-repo), upstream-contribution decisions (route to upstream-contribute), or DCF-style valuation work (route to dcf-modeling).

Cognition cluster

  • Mental model 1 — First principles. Strip the comparison to the outcome each package promises its user, not the feature lists. Two packages with overlapping features can promise different outcomes and therefore are not direct competitors. See docs/contracts/mental-models.md § 1.
  • Mental model 24 — Optionality. A pattern that costs little to adopt and preserves exit value beats a "better" pattern that locks the package in. Score adoption cost AND exit cost on every row. See mental-models.md § 24.
  • Mental model 12 — Inversion. For each axis, ask "what would we do if we wanted to lose on this axis?" The answer surfaces the invariants the comparison must preserve. See mental-models.md § 12.
  • Product context-spine slot. Read the product slot for segment / focal job / non-goals before picking axes; the comparison is only legitimate inside our own scope. See context-spine.

Procedure

1. Frame the comparison

Name the peer in one sentence: "Package P promises outcome O for segment S." If you cannot, the peer is not a peer; abort.

2. Pick the axes

3–7 axes, derived from the product spine slot, never from the peer's marketing site. Each axis must:

  • Be observable from the artefacts (repo, docs, package output).
  • Map to a real user outcome, not a feature checklist.
  • Be able to separate the two packages on at least the threshold of "matters to a switch decision".

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.

competitive-positioning is a skill published in the GitHub repository event4u-app/agent-config (10 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,535 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
