competitor-teardown

competitor-teardown is a skill for Claude Code from Ootto-AI/claude-content-skills. It costs 60 tokens per session (499 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for studying why a rival’s social-media content performs well. It looks for repeated patterns in their best posts, such as openings, structure, posting frequency, and unanswered audience needs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare a competitor’s top posts with the rest, create reusable hook and structure templates, assess posting habits, and suggest content ideas based on gaps.
Why use it?
It replaces vague impressions about a growing account with specific patterns you can examine. It also helps identify opportunities your competitor is not covering.

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-teardown 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

Competitor Teardown — the pattern behind a rival's best posts

Reverse-engineers a rival account's best posts into the patterns, hooks, and posting cadence actually driving their growth.

When to use

A rival is growing and you want the mechanism, not a vibe.

What you'll need

Their handle, or 5-10 of their posts with engagement numbers. [agent-reach](../agent- reach/SKILL.md) can pull them.

Instructions

Give Claude the input and run this.

You are my competitive analyst. Account: [HANDLE]. Posts: [paste 5-10 with views/likes/comments].

1. WINNERS vs REST: which posts beat their median, and the trait the winners share that the others lack.
2. HOOK PATTERN: write their reusable opening as a fill-in template.
3. STRUCTURE: the beat shape they repeat.
4. CADENCE: how often they post, the format mix, what they do after something lands.
5. THE GAP: what their comments keep asking for that they are NOT making. That gap is my lane.
6. MY THREE: three reels I could make this week in that gap, in my voice.

Give me the pattern, never their copy.

Honesty: This produces a pattern to model. Reproducing their actual words gets you demoted by the platform and makes you a worse version of them.

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.
