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

product-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 10d 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.

Product Research with Claude Code

Overview

Two-phase technique for deep product research. First, offload broad information gathering to cheaper deep-research tools (Perplexity, ChatGPT Deep Research). Then feed those raw findings into Claude Code for synthesis, gap analysis, and strategic recommendations.

Core principle: Claude Code with web access is like having 100 researchers on staff. Give it big, open-ended questions. Brain-dump every open question you have stream-of-consciousness. The agent thrives on breadth -- let it surprise you with what it surfaces.

Dependency: Web search access (Claude Code with web tools, or pre-gathered research documents to feed in).

When to Use

  • Entering a new market and need competitor landscape mapped
  • Preparing for a sales call and need customer org charts, stakeholder priorities, and pain points
  • Evaluating build-vs-buy decisions and need feature comparisons across vendors
  • Running a quarterly strategy review and need market trends synthesized
  • Exploring a new product direction and have dozens of unanswered questions

When NOT to Use

  • You need a single factual answer (just search directly)
  • The research requires proprietary databases or paywalled sources Claude cannot access
  • You need legally verified claims (agent research is a starting point, not a legal opinion)

Common Mistakes

Mistake Why it's wrong
Asking narrow, specific questions one at a time You lose the agent's biggest strength: parallel exploration. Dump all your open questions at once and let it find connections you would not have thought of.
Running expensive Claude Code tokens on raw information gathering Deep research tools like Perplexity and ChatGPT are cheaper for the gathering phase. Use Claude Code for the synthesis and strategic thinking, not the initial web crawling.
Treating agent output as verified fact The agent surfaces leads and patterns. Always verify critical claims -- competitor pricing, customer org details, market size figures -- before acting on them.
Skipping the brain-dump and writing a polished brief instead The messier and more complete your question dump, the better. The agent handles ambiguity well. A polished brief often omits the half-formed questions that lead to the best insights.

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.
