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

competitive-battlecard 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.

Competitive Battlecard

Create a concise, sales-ready battlecard for use against a specific competitor.

Context

You are creating a competitive battlecard for $ARGUMENTS.

Use web search to research the competitor's current product, pricing, positioning, and recent changes. If the user provides files (feature lists, win/loss data, sales call notes), read them first.

Instructions

  1. Research the competitor (use web search):

    • Current product offerings and features
    • Pricing tiers and model
    • Target market and positioning
    • Recent product launches or changes
    • Known strengths and weaknesses
    • Customer reviews and sentiment (G2, Capterra, Reddit)
  2. Create the battlecard with these sections:

    Company Overview

    • Founded, HQ, funding/revenue (if public)
    • Target market and ICP
    • Positioning in one sentence

    Quick Comparison

    Capability Us Them Winner
    [Feature area 1] [Our approach] [Their approach] [Us/Them/Tie]
    [Feature area 2] ... ... ...
    Pricing ... ... ...
    Support ... ... ...

    Where We Win

    • [Advantage 1]: [Proof point or customer quote]
    • [Advantage 2]: [Specific capability they lack]
    • [Advantage 3]: [Better approach with reasoning]

    Where They Win

    • [Their strength 1]: [Our counter-positioning]
    • [Their strength 2]: [How we mitigate this gap]

    Common Objections & Responses

    Prospect Says Respond With
    "Competitor X has [feature]" "[Our alternative approach and why it's better for them]"
    "They're cheaper" "[Value framing: total cost of ownership, ROI, hidden costs]"
    "They're more established" "[Our advantages: speed, innovation, focus, support]"

    Landmines to Plant

    Questions to ask the prospect that highlight competitor weaknesses:

    • "How important is [area where we excel] to your team?"
    • "Have you evaluated [specific capability they lack]?"

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.
