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

daily-product-digest 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 13d 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.

Daily Product Digest

When to Use

  • Founder wants a daily or weekly summary of what's happening in the startup/product ecosystem
  • Founder wants to track competitor launches and market trends
  • Founder wants to identify products launching in their space or adjacent spaces
  • Founder wants launch inspiration or to study what's getting traction
  • Founder wants to spot emerging trends, tools, or technologies relevant to their market

Context Required

  • Founder's product category and market (to filter for relevance)
  • Sources to monitor (Product Hunt, Hacker News, Indie Hackers, Reddit, etc.)
  • Frequency (daily, weekly, or on-demand)
  • What they care about most (competitor activity, market trends, launch tactics, technology shifts)

Workflow

  1. Define monitoring scope — based on startup-context, identify:
    • Keywords and categories to track (e.g., "developer tools", "AI", "fintech")
    • Direct competitors to watch for
    • Adjacent markets that could expand into your space
  2. Scan sources — check each platform for the specified time period:
    • Product Hunt: top launches, upvote counts, maker comments, notable hunters
    • Hacker News: front page stories, Show HN posts, Ask HN threads, comment sentiment
    • Indie Hackers: new launches, revenue milestones, popular discussions
    • Reddit: relevant subreddit activity (r/SaaS, r/startups, r/[your-niche])
  3. Filter for relevance — from everything found, flag items that are:
    • Direct competitors or alternatives to the founder's product
    • In the same category or solving adjacent problems
    • Demonstrating a trend or shift relevant to the founder's market
    • Using interesting launch tactics worth studying
  4. Analyze what's working — for top-performing launches/posts, note:
    • What made it resonate (positioning, timing, problem framing)
    • Community reaction and sentiment
    • Potential implications for the founder's product or market
  5. Generate the digest — produce a concise, actionable summary.

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.
