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 2mo 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.
