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-intel 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 312 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Competitor Intel

Purpose

Provide data-backed competitive intelligence by researching real signals across the web—no assumptions, no made-up numbers.


Execution Logic

Check $ARGUMENTS first to determine execution mode:

If $ARGUMENTS is empty or not provided:

Respond with: "competitor-intel loaded, proceed with competitor name and any context (website, industry, etc.)"

Then wait for the user to provide their requirements in the next message.

If $ARGUMENTS contains content:

Proceed immediately to Task Execution (skip the "loaded" message).


Task Execution

When user requirements are available (either from initial $ARGUMENTS or follow-up message):

1. Check for Business Context (Optional)

Check if FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md exists in the project root.

  • If it exists: Read it to understand your company's positioning, strengths, and goals—this informs the leverage strategies.
  • If it doesn't exist: Proceed with analysis focused purely on competitor weaknesses.

2. Extract Input

From the user's requirements, extract:

  • Competitor name (required)
  • Competitor website (if provided)
  • Industry/vertical (if provided)
  • Specific areas of interest (if provided)

3. Research Phase — MANDATORY WEB SEARCH

This skill REQUIRES web search. Do not proceed without searching.

Execute web searches across these sources:

Business Metrics Research

Search for verified data only. Query patterns:

  • "[Competitor]" revenue OR MRR OR ARR site:crunchbase.com
  • "[Competitor]" funding raised valuation site:crunchbase.com
  • "[Competitor]" employees headcount site:linkedin.com
  • "[Competitor]" revenue growth OR metrics
  • "[Competitor]" pricing customers
  • "[Competitor]" CEO OR founder interview revenue
  • "[Competitor]" Series A OR Series B OR funding
Traffic & SEO Research

Search for web traffic and search presence signals:

  • "[Competitor]" site:similarweb.com (traffic estimates, top pages, traffic sources)
  • "[Competitor]" site:ahrefs.com (backlinks, domain rating, organic keywords)
  • "[Competitor]" site:semrush.com (traffic, keyword rankings, ad spend)
  • "[Competitor]" site:trends.google.com (search interest over time)
  • [Competitor website domain] site:builtwith.com (tech stack, tools used)

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.
