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-analyst 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 today.

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 Analyst

Overview

This skill provides structured frameworks for competitive intelligence—from gathering information on competitors through applying analytical frameworks (SWOT, Porter's Five Forces, positioning maps, feature matrices) to synthesizing insights into strategic recommendations. Good competitive analysis reveals where to attack, where to defend, and how to position your product to win.

When to Use

  • Building a competitive landscape analysis for investors, board, or internal strategy
  • Creating a feature comparison matrix for sales or product teams
  • Developing a competitive positioning strategy
  • Tracking and monitoring competitor moves over time
  • Preparing a competitive battle card for sales
  • Identifying whitespace opportunities in the market

When NOT to Use

  • Sizing total market opportunity (use market-researcher skill)
  • Writing a full pitch deck (use pitch-deck-writer skill)
  • Conducting primary research interviews with competitor customers (use ux-researcher skill)
  • Financial modeling or pricing analysis (use a finance skill)

Quick Reference

Framework Use Case Output
SWOT Analysis Internal + external audit per competitor 2×2 matrix
Porter's Five Forces Industry-level threat assessment Force ratings + strategy
Feature Matrix Product comparison for sales/product Comparison table
Positioning Map Visual differentiation 2×2 or 2-axis plot
Battle Card Sales competitive enablement 1-page quick reference
Win/Loss Analysis Understanding why deals are won or lost Pattern report
Competitive monitoring Ongoing intel tracking Change log

Instructions

Step 1: Define the Scope

Before researching, clarify:

  1. Who are the direct competitors? (Same product category, same customer)
  2. Who are the indirect competitors? (Different product, same job-to-be-done)
  3. Who are the potential entrants? (Not yet competing but could)
  4. What decisions will this analysis inform? (Positioning, product roadmap, pricing, sales training)
