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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00044 | $0.00223 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00112 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00045 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00022 |
Grade A, and why
competitor-research 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
Ask the user: "What product or feature are you researching? Who is it for?"
Then research 3–5 direct competitors using web search. For each competitor return:
[Competitor Name]
- Positioning: one sentence on how they describe themselves
- Target customer: who they're built for
- Pricing: tiers and price points if public
- Key differentiators: 2–3 things they do well
- Weaknesses: 1–2 gaps or complaints from reviews/forums
After all competitors, add a Gap Analysis section:
- What no competitor does well
- Where pricing is underserved
- One positioning angle that is unclaimed
Keep each competitor to 6 bullet points max. No padding. End with one sharp question: "Based on this, which gap are you trying to own?"
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.

competitor-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository hamzafarooq/claude-code-starter (139 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 223 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 2026-08-30.
