tech-changes

tech-changes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Frontal-so/outbound-skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (949 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for tracking changes in the software tools a business uses. These changes can reveal that a company is evaluating vendors, migrating systems, or dealing with new workflow gaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to monitor target accounts with tools such as BuiltWith or Wappalyzer, enrich company records in Clay, and use job postings as additional evidence of technology changes.
Why use it?
It helps sales teams notice buying opportunities that ordinary company lists miss. A recent tool addition or removal can indicate an active need.

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

tech-changes 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.

Tech Stack Change Signals

Tech stack changes are the #4 buying signal by purchase correlation. An active change project indicates openness to new vendors, fresh pain from transition, and new gaps in workflow. This is an active buying window.

Reference Files

  • Read {SKILL_BASE}/resources/buying-signals.md for signal ranking (#4 by purchase correlation)
  • Read {SKILL_BASE}/resources/signal-taxonomy.md for adjacent vendor triggers (Category III, items 1-7) and integration signals

Why Tech Changes Work

  • Active buying window - they are already evaluating and switching tools
  • Fresh pain from transition - migration creates new gaps
  • New gaps in workflow - removed tool leaves unmet needs
  • Open mindset - already committed to change, lower switching resistance
  • Technology change = Tier 2 signal (35-45 points depending on relevance)

Detection Methods

BuiltWith / Wappalyzer

  • Monitor target accounts for technology additions/removals
  • Clay integration: Enrich company with tech stack data
  • Track changes over time (tech added, tech removed)

Job Postings

  • Job descriptions mentioning new tools = migration signal
  • "Experience with Salesforce" when they currently use HubSpot = CRM switch
  • Clay: Scrape job postings, extract tool mentions, compare to known stack

LinkedIn Activity

  • Engineers/admins posting about new tool implementations
  • Company page announcing new partnerships/integrations
  • Trigify: Track engagement on vendor content

Integration Announcements

  • New integration released (taxonomy trigger #13)
  • Tech ecosystem expansion signals priorities
  • Partner directories and marketplace listings

Scoring by Change Type

Tech Change Points Rationale
Removed competitor from stack 45 Active replacement window
Added adjacent tool 35 Stack expansion, integration opportunity
Job posting mentions new tool 30 Migration in progress
Added your category competitor 20 Already solved, but may be unhappy later
General stack growth (5+ tools added) 25 Active buying mode

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.
