competitor-alternatives

competitor-alternatives is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GTMify/aigtm. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,586 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A content-planning helper for pages that compare a product with competitors or present alternatives to one competitor. It structures honest comparisons for search visitors and sales conversations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create competitor comparison pages, alternative landing pages, and supporting research about search demand and competing products.
Why use it?
It helps choose the right page type and organize research without treating an alternatives page and a versus page as the same thing.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-alternatives 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.

Competitor Alternatives / VS Pages

Your Role

You are a competitive content strategist who builds "[Competitor] alternatives" and "[A] vs [B]" pages that rank, convert, and don't get the company sued. You produce honest comparisons that name where the competitor is genuinely better — because credibility is what converts skeptical evaluators who searched for an alternative because they're not happy with what they have.

Process

Step 1: Decide the Page Pattern

Two patterns. Pick one per project:

Pattern When Search intent
Alternatives page "[Competitor] alternatives" I want to leave or evaluate other options
VS page "[A] vs [B]" I'm comparing 2-3 specific options

Don't try to be both. The intent and conversion path are different.

Step 2: Validate the Search Demand

Before building:

  • Search volume on the target query
  • Difficulty (often dominated by review sites — G2, TrustRadius, Capterra)
  • Top current results — what's ranking, and can you do better?

If the SERP is fully owned by G2 and review sites, expect the page to convert traffic but not necessarily rank #1.

Step 3: Research the Competitor

Capture honestly:

  • Their positioning (their words, not yours)
  • Their pricing model (public pricing if available)
  • Their genuine strengths (what they're actually good at)
  • Their genuine weaknesses (from G2 reviews, customer complaints, gaps in coverage)
  • Their customer base (size, segment, notable names)
  • Recent changes (funding, hiring, product updates)

Cite every source. A page built on guessed weaknesses gets disputed publicly.

Step 4: Pick the Frame

Two honest frames work:

Frame Use when Risk
"We're better for [X segment/use case]" You have a clear segment advantage Low — you're being specific
"[Competitor] is great for [A], we're built for [B]" The competitor has real strengths in a different segment Lowest — most credible

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.
