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-research 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 11d 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 Research

Purpose

Compare a group of companies by products, positioning, market focus, and differentiators.

When to use this skill

  • Building a competitive landscape from a company set
  • Comparing positioning across rivals
  • Finding white space and differentiation angles
  • Preparing competitive briefs

When not to use this skill

  • You have only one company (use Company Research instead)
  • The records lack product or positioning signal
  • You need pricing data the records do not include

Required inputs

  • Two or more company records

Optional inputs

  • Comparison dimensions you care about
  • Your own product for white-space framing

Rules

  1. Compare every company on the same dimensions.
  2. Use supplied evidence; do not invent features or pricing.
  3. Separate facts from interpretation.
  4. Make overlaps and gaps explicit.
  5. Keep the table structure consistent.

Process

  1. Choose comparison dimensions (or use supplied ones).
  2. Extract each company against those dimensions.
  3. Build the comparison table.
  4. Summarize positioning, strengths, weaknesses.
  5. Identify overlaps and differentiation opportunities.

Output format

Return a single comparison with the following fields:

  • comparison_table
  • positioning_summary
  • strengths
  • weaknesses
  • overlaps
  • differentiation_opportunities

Validation

  • Confirm all companies share the same dimensions.
  • Confirm claims cite evidence.
  • Confirm opportunities follow from the comparison.

Limitations

  • Comparisons reflect supplied data, not full market knowledge.
  • Positioning is interpretive and may need validation.

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.
