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

competitive-analyzer 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.

Workflow

Phase 1: Competitor Discovery

Identify competitors across three tiers using WebSearch.

Tier classification:

  • Direct competitors — Same solution to the same customer segment. Search: "[product category] alternatives", "[product] vs", "best [category] tools 2024"
  • Indirect competitors — Different solution to the same underlying problem. Search: "how to [solve problem] without [category]", adjacent category leaders
  • Potential competitors — Adjacent players with capability and incentive to enter. Search: recent funding rounds, platform expansion announcements, acqui-hires

Discovery sources:

  • Product Hunt: site:producthunt.com [category]
  • G2: site:g2.com [category] reviews
  • Capterra: site:capterra.com [category]
  • Crunchbase: site:crunchbase.com [category] funding
  • Industry reports and analyst coverage

Output: A competitor roster table:

Competitor Tier Founded Funding HQ Est. Revenue Target Segment

Include 5-15 competitors. Fewer than 5 suggests the search was too narrow; more than 15 suggests the scope needs tightening.

Phase 2: Porter's Five Forces Assessment

Score each force 1-5 with supporting evidence. Reference references/porters-five-forces.md for scoring rubric and sub-criteria.

4 files 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.

Changes

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.
