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

brand-monitoring 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 9d 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.

Strategies: Brand Monitoring

Guides ongoing brand monitoring—detecting impersonation, trademark infringement, counterfeit products, and brand abuse before they cause harm. Complements brand-protection (reactive: report, takedown); this skill covers proactive monitoring setup and tool selection.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read for brand name, official domain, and key assets.

Identify:

  1. Scope: Domain, social, marketplaces, paid search, dark web
  2. Budget: Manual vs automated; DIY vs vendor
  3. Risk level: High-value brand, prior incidents, or preventive

What to Monitor

Channel Threats
Domains Typosquatting, brand+ai, brand+app, impersonation sites
Social media Fake accounts, impersonation, unauthorized use
Marketplaces Counterfeit products, unauthorized sellers (Amazon, eBay, Temu)
Paid search Competitors bidding on brand terms; impersonator ads
App stores Fake apps, trademark misuse
Web Phishing sites, spoofed pages

Manual Monitoring (Low Cost)

Method Frequency
Search Brand name + variants (brand+ai, brand+app, brand+official)
Google Alerts Brand name, product names
Social search X, LinkedIn, Instagram for brand mentions
Marketplace search Amazon, eBay for counterfeit listings

Tip: Document findings; escalate to brand-protection for takedown when infringement is confirmed.

Automated Tools (Scale)

Capability Description
AI detection Machine learning, image recognition, NLP to detect abuse across channels
Multi-channel Domains, social, marketplaces, paid search, dark web
Enforcement Case management, takedown workflows, platform integrations
Trademark watch USPTO, trademark office monitoring; litigation insights
