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

company-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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 199 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

On Activation

  1. Read brand/positioning.md, brand/competitors.md, and brand/audience.md if present. Ground queries in the brand's category and known competitors. All optional.
  2. Confirm Exa MCP Agent tools or EXA_API_KEY. If missing, stop with the install hint from Prerequisites / mktg doctor.
  3. Default to Exa Agent for deep dives and lists; use advanced search only for quick single lookups.
  4. When /cmo or a research agent owns the brand write, return structured findings + sources - do not silently overwrite brand/competitors.md unless the user asked to update brand memory.

Company Research

mktg runtime note

Prefer Exa MCP when available (tools: web_search_exa, web_search_advanced_exa, web_fetch_exa, agent_run). If MCP Agent tools use the older create/wait/get names (agent_create_run, agent_wait_for_run, agent_get_run_output), use those equivalently. Without MCP, call the HTTP API with x-api-key: $EXA_API_KEY (POST https://api.exa.ai/search, /contents, /agent). Firecrawl remains the path for deep scrape of a known URL after Exa discovery.

Tool Selection (Critical)

Two Exa surfaces, two jobs:

  • Exa Agent (agent_run, or legacy agent_create_run / agent_wait_for_run / agent_get_run_output) - the default for company research. Use it for deep dives, competitor analysis, multi-angle research (product + funding + news + people), and building company lists. One Agent run handles query decomposition, multi-step searching, and synthesis internally - do not orchestrate many manual searches for work an Agent run covers.
  • web_search_advanced_exa - quick, low-latency lookups: a fast category: "company" discovery pass, a single news check, or finding a homepage.

Do NOT use other Exa tools.

Deep Dives and Lists: Exa Agent

Agent runs are async: create the run, wait for it, then read the output.

  1. agent_create_run with a natural-language query and, when you want repeatable structure, an outputSchema (bound arrays with maxItems). Returns an agent_run_... ID.
  2. agent_wait_for_run until the run is completed (call again if still running).
  3. agent_get_run_output - read output.text or output.structured, plus output.grounding citations.

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.
