ig-competitor is a skill for Claude Code from nicojunk/claude-ig. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,288 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A competitor-research workflow for Instagram accounts that delegates data collection and compares the findings with your own account.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study three to five similar accounts and identify content hooks, formats, and gaps worth considering.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of choosing relevant competitors, gathering account information, and spotting differences in content performance or approach.

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

ig-competitor 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 8d 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.

IG Competitor -- Competitor research via delegation

Key references:

  • references/competitor-framework.md -- competitor selection criteria, analysis dimensions, comparison matrix
  • references/account-baseline.md -- own account metrics for gap analysis

NOTE: This is a DELEGATION skill. The primary data collection happens via the ig-research skill. This skill orchestrates the research, reads results, and synthesizes recommendations.


Phase 1: Target Selection

Identify which competitor accounts to research:

  1. Ask the user for specific accounts, or suggest based on these criteria:
    • Same niche (fitness, nutrition, health for German-speaking audience)
    • Similar follower count range (0.5x to 5x of own account)
    • Active posting (at least 3 posts/week)
    • High engagement relative to follower count
  2. Select 3-5 target accounts. More than 5 dilutes the analysis.
  3. Load references/competitor-framework.md for the analysis dimensions to apply.
  4. Load references/account-baseline.md for own account metrics (needed for gap analysis).

Document the selected accounts with handles and reasoning for selection.

Phase 2: Delegation

For each target account, invoke the ig-research skill:

  1. Pass the account handle and the analysis dimensions from competitor-framework.md.
  2. The ig-research skill will:
    • Collect public data (post frequency, content types, engagement patterns)
    • Analyze content pillars and topic distribution
    • Document hook patterns and CTA strategies
    • Note visual style and branding approach
  3. Each research run produces a report file. Note the output paths.

If ig-research is unavailable, fall back to manual data collection using available API tools or web research tools.

Phase 3: Report Reading

Read all generated research reports:

  1. Load each competitor report file.
  2. Extract key data points per competitor:
    • Posting frequency and consistency
    • Top-performing content (by visible engagement: likes, comments)
    • Content pillar distribution
    • Hook patterns used (categorize into hook-library.md categories)
    • CTA strategies
    • Audience interaction style (comment responses, story engagement)
    • Affiliate/partnership approach

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.
