firecrawl-competitive-intel

firecrawl-competitive-intel is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from firecrawl/firecrawl-workflows. It costs 45 tokens per session (520 once invoked), scanned A, original, ISC.

A workflow for tracking competing products over time, including their prices, features, release notes, and documentation changes. It can gather information from public pages and from private dashboards when the user has legitimate access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare pricing plans, monitor feature launches, follow changelogs, or create recurring competitor alerts. It is for ongoing monitoring rather than a one-time broad market analysis.
Why use it?
It removes the need to repeatedly check many competitor pages and organize every change by hand. The results include source links and confidence notes to make the findings easier to review.

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

firecrawl-competitive-intel 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.

What it actually says

Firecrawl Competitive Intel

Use this for monitoring competitors over time. This is not the broad competitor analysis workflow.

Onboarding Interview

Infer competitors, focus, cadence, and output format from context. If competitors are clear, proceed immediately.

Ask at most 1-3 concise questions only if blocked, such as the competitor list, focus area, or whether authenticated pages/profiles are required.

Firecrawl Collection Plan

For each competitor, use Firecrawl scrape or browser as needed:

  • pricing pages, annual/monthly toggles, expanded feature tables
  • feature and product pages
  • changelogs, blogs, release notes, docs updates
  • authenticated dashboards only when the user has legitimate access

Parallel Work

If appropriate, use sub-agents or equivalent parallel task runners. A natural split is one competitor per researcher or one focus area per researcher.

Each researcher should return pricing tiers, features, recent changes, source URLs, and confidence notes.

JSON Shape

When structured output is requested, include generatedAt, competitors, pricing, recentChanges, features, and sources.

  • Extract real plan names, limits, and dates when available.
  • Note contact-sales or gated details instead of guessing.
  • Preserve sources for diffing future runs.
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.
