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

competitor-scan 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 7d 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.

Competitor Radar Setup

Turns "I want to track my competitors" into a live, self-refreshing, branded dashboard in one guided session. This skill sets up the machine; the competitor-radar skill is the machine.

Step 1: Discovery Q&A (interactive)

Ask, one topic at a time, adapting to answers:

  1. Niche / what they do (so competitor discovery and framing are accurate).
  2. Competitors, three modes:
    • They name them, or
    • They ask you to find and recommend competitors: search YouTube, the web, and their niche communities, propose 5-8 with a one-line why each, and let them confirm/trim, or
    • A mix (they name a few, you fill the rest).
  3. Platforms to track: which of YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, community (Skool/Circle), SEO. Only track what matters to their niche (a local business cares about Google reviews + local SEO; a creator cares about YouTube + shorts platforms).
  4. Brand: colors, fonts, logo. If they have a design system or a site, extract from it; else use sensible defaults and confirm.
  5. Cadence: weekly (default, Monday) or monthly (1st). And where to post it (Slack channel, email).

Write their answers into a config.json shaped like the competitor-radar skill's config (roster + platforms + apify_actors + brand + slack_channel + live_url + deploy_repo).

Step 2: Connect the data sources

Get the scrapers connected before building. See references/data-sources.md for the platform-to-actor mapping, Firecrawl and YouTube setup, and the avatar-inlining rule.

Step 3: Build the branded dashboard

Reuse the competitor-radar skill's assets/template.html + scripts/build_dashboard.py, restyled to their brand (swap the CSS color/font tokens, keep the structure: Demo/Actual tabs, per-platform columns, expand cards, focus/blur toggle, week-over-week deltas). Gather the first week of real data via the connectors, write radar_data.js, run the build, and open it for their approval before deploying. Inline avatars per the rule in references/data-sources.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.
