foundation: Skill for Cursor

.cursor/skills/analyze/SKILL.md

analyze is a skill for Cursor from markmhendrickson/foundation. It costs 13 tokens per session (4,776 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of analyze, MIT.

A codebase analysis command that examines a project, website, domain, or search term from competitive and partnership perspectives across related repositories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a URL, domain, or search term to research the target and produce a structured competitive or partnership analysis.
Why use it?
It gives a repeatable way to compare an outside project with your own projects instead of researching each case from scratch.

This is markmhendrickson/foundation's own configuration. It tells Cursor how to work on foundation itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything foundation configures →

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

analyze 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to analyze — 11 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Analyze Project

Analyze any project (URL or term) from both competitive and partnership perspectives relative to all repositories (comparative analysis across your repos). Load repo list from the truth layer (per neotoma_parquet_migration_rules.mdc).

Command

analyze <url_or_term>

Input

Accepts:

  • Full URL (e.g., analyze https://memorae.ai)
  • Domain name (e.g., analyze memorae.ai)
  • Search term (e.g., analyze "memory layer productivity")

Examples:

  • analyze memorae.ai
  • analyze https://memorae.ai
  • analyze "memory layer productivity tool"

Workflow Overview

This command performs systematic analysis following the framework defined in foundation/strategy/project_assessment_framework.md. The analysis type depends on the resource:

For Products/Projects:

  1. Load all repos from truth layer (per neotoma_parquet_migration_rules.mdc)
  2. Discover repo context for current repo and all repos in the loaded list
  3. Research target project via web scraper MCP (if ChatGPT/Twitter URL) or browser tools
  4. Generate competitive analysis using standardized template (compare target vs. each repo)
  5. Generate partnership analysis using standardized template (compare target vs. each repo)
  6. Save both analyses to private docs submodule
  7. Present summary to user (including comparative summary across repos)

For Content/Thought Leadership (Articles, Research, etc.):

  1. Load all repos from truth layer (per neotoma_parquet_migration_rules.mdc)
  2. Discover repo context for current repo and all repos in the loaded list
  3. Research target resource via web scraper MCP (if ChatGPT/Twitter URL) or browser tools
  4. Generate holistic relevance analysis using relevance template (applicable to each repo)
  5. Save analysis to private docs submodule
  6. Present summary to user (including relevance to each repo where applicable)

Output:

  • Products/Projects:
    • Competitive analysis: docs/private/competitive/[target_name]_competitive_analysis.md
    • Partnership analysis: docs/private/partnerships/[target_name]_partnership_analysis.md
  • Content/Thought Leadership:
    • Relevance analysis: docs/private/insights/[target_name]_relevance_analysis.md

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.
