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-positioning 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Runs when a marketing team needs to see how competitors position themselves on their own websites and content — on a recurring cadence, before a messaging refresh, or ahead of a launch.

Produces a marketing briefing, not a signal feed: messaging matrix, positioning profiles, content gaps, white space, and recommended actions — every insight answering "what does this mean for our messaging?"

Pick the mode before doing anything

Keep a running file per competitor in your workspace (format: references/snapshot-format.md). At the start of every run, load those files and check when you last ran:

  • Full snapshot — first run, or no prior snapshots, or last run more than 14 days ago. Capture everything.
  • Delta mode — last run within 14 days. Research the same pages, but the output reports only what changed. A delta run that re-narrates the whole landscape buries the one tagline change that matters.
  • Same-day repeat — already ran today? Ask before re-running; don't silently burn research effort on pages that haven't changed since the morning.

If you also keep business-signal notes on these companies (funding, hiring, leadership changes), load those too — they often explain why positioning shifted, e.g. a funding round preceding an enterprise-messaging pivot.

Confirm scope

Work from the confirmed competitor list. If a competitor profile already exists in this workspace (from a prior run or a competitor-monitoring setup), load it and confirm it's still current; otherwise ask the user for their domain and the competitors they care about, propose any obvious additions, and get an explicit yes on the final list before spending research time. Four or fewer competitors: analyze all. More: ask which to focus on this run — group them by category and let the user pick. Every competitor costs real research time; don't spend it on companies nobody asked about.

Capture your own baseline first

Before touching any competitor, capture your own positioning from the user's own domain (confirmed during setup) the exact same way you'll capture theirs — otherwise the messaging matrix has an empty row where "us" should be, and the comparison collapses into a list.

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.
