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 5.1 | $0.00093 | $0.01921 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00037 | $0.00768 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00384 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00192 |
Grade A, and why
competitor-tracking 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 1mo 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 Tracking
Systematic framework for tracking competitors in the developer tools space, from identification through ongoing monitoring and battlecard creation.
Overview
Competitor tracking for developer tools requires monitoring multiple dimensions: product features, pricing, developer sentiment, content strategy, community growth, and funding/trajectory. Unlike consumer products, developer tools compete on technical merit, documentation quality, and community trust.
Effective competitor tracking helps you:
- Understand your competitive positioning
- Anticipate competitor moves
- Arm sales and marketing with accurate battlecards
- Identify market gaps and opportunities
- Learn from competitor successes and failures
Competitor Identification
Types of Competitors
Direct Competitors:
- Same category, same target developer
- Solve the same core problem
- Would appear in the same "best X tools" lists
- Example: If you're a CI/CD tool, other CI/CD tools
Indirect Competitors:
- Adjacent categories that overlap with your use case
- Might be expanding into your space
- Developers might use instead of your category
- Example: GitHub Actions competing with standalone CI tools
DIY Alternatives:
- Open source tools developers self-host
- Custom scripts and internal tooling
- "Just use bash scripts" or "build it yourself"
- Often your biggest competitor by volume
Platform Alternatives:
- Cloud provider native services (AWS, GCP, Azure equivalents)
- All-in-one platforms that include your functionality
- Enterprise suite solutions
Competitive Landscape Mapping
Create a competitive landscape document with:
- Competitor profiles - Company, product, target market, positioning
- Feature matrix - Core features compared across competitors
- Pricing comparison - Tiers, pricing model, enterprise pricing signals
- Strengths/weaknesses - Honest assessment of each competitor
- Trajectory - Funding, growth signals, strategic direction
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-tracking is a skill published in the GitHub repository jonathimer/devmarketing-skills (87 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 1,921 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
