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

alternatives-pages 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 4d 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.

Alternatives Pages

When to Use

Use this skill when you need create "[Competitor] alternative" and comparison pages for developer tools. Build honest, high-converting comparison content that ranks for competitive search terms. Trigger phrases: "alternatives page", "comparison page", "vs page", "[competitor] alternative", "competitor comparison",...

Create effective "[Competitor] alternative" and comparison pages that rank for competitive keywords, convert developers honestly, and support your competitive positioning.

Overview

Alternatives pages and comparison content are high-intent SEO plays. Developers searching for "[competitor] alternative" or "[your product] vs [competitor]" are actively evaluating solutions. Done well, this content captures demand, educates prospects, and positions your product effectively. Done poorly, it damages trust and brand perception.

The key principles:

  • Be honest - developers will fact-check you
  • Be helpful - even if they don't choose you
  • Be specific - vague comparisons waste everyone's time
  • Be current - outdated comparisons are worse than none

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.
