channel-competitor-analysis

channel-competitor-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from moses607/socialforge. It costs 100 tokens per session (826 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for studying a creator, channel, profile, or viral post to find the patterns behind its performance, such as opening hooks, recurring topics, formats, posting rhythm, and audience reactions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review another account or video, explain why content went viral, identify audience and topic gaps, and plan content based on observed patterns.
Why use it?
It turns a competitor’s public content into a structured comparison instead of relying on guesses about why something performed well. It also helps separate unusually successful posts from ordinary ones.

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

channel-competitor-analysis 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 3d 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.

Channel & Competitor Analysis

Growth leaves fingerprints. Every channel that works is running a repeatable system — a few pillars, a hook style, a format, a cadence — and you can read it off their public output. The goal is not to copy; it's to find the pattern they're exploiting and the gap they're leaving open for you.

Inputs

Ask for (or work with what's given): the profile/handle, 5-20 of their recent posts (ideally their top performers), and follower/engagement numbers if available. If you only have a URL, work from titles, hooks, thumbnails, and visible metrics.

Method

  1. Separate outliers from baseline. Rank their posts by engagement relative to their own average. The 2-3× outliers are the signal — that's what the audience actually wants. The baseline is filler.
  2. Decode the outliers on five axes:
    • Hook — the opening move and archetype (see hook-machine).
    • Format — talking-head, listicle, story, tutorial, reaction, B-roll+VO.
    • Pillar — the recurring topic/theme it belongs to.
    • Emotion — what it makes the viewer feel (status, fear, curiosity, belonging, aspiration).
    • Structure — hook → escalation → payoff → CTA; where retention is engineered.
  3. Map the pillars. Cluster all posts into 3-5 content pillars; note the % of output and % of total engagement per pillar. The high-engagement/low-output pillar is an underexploited vein.
  4. Read the cadence & funnel. Posting frequency, best-performing times, and how they convert attention (link in bio, series, lead magnet, product).
  5. Find the weaknesses (your opening). Where are they weak or absent? Common gaps: no strong hooks, no series/retention loop, ignoring a platform, weak CTA, a pillar their audience loves but they underserve, poor production, or a tone that alienates a sub-segment.

Output template

## Analysis: <channel/creator>
Baseline vs outliers: avg engagement <x>; outliers <list top 3 + their multiple>

### What's working (their winning system)
Pillars (share of output / share of engagement): <table>
Hook style: <..>  | Dominant format: <..>  | Core emotion: <..>
Cadence & best times: <..>  | Conversion path: <..>

### Why the outliers hit
<per top post: hook + structure + emotion, 1-2 lines each>

### Their weaknesses = your openings
<3-5 specific, exploitable gaps>

### Attack plan for you
<3 concrete content moves that use their gap + your edge>

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.
