competitive-watch

competitive-watch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stoa-platform/stoa. It costs 18 tokens per session (1,362 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill for tracking changes in AI coding tools and related competitors using sources such as engineering blogs, release notes, and social-media posts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Monitoring tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider, Codex CLI, and Amazon Q Developer, then organising findings for comparison and review.
Why use it?
It gives a repeatable way to collect updates and turn them into a digest instead of checking many sources manually.

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-watch 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 5d 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 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.
