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-analysis 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 2mo 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 Analysis

Overview

Competitive analysis isn't about building a feature comparison spreadsheet — it's about understanding where you win, where you lose, and where the market is going. This skill guides you through strategic competitive analysis using frameworks like Porter's Five Forces, competitive positioning maps, and feature impact matrices.

When to Use

  • Entering a new market or segment
  • Positioning a new product or major feature
  • Preparing for a strategy review or board deck
  • Evaluating an acquisition or partnership
  • Don't use for: daily feature-level tracking (use lightweight monitoring instead), one-off competitor curiosity

Instructions

1. Identify Your Competitors

Three tiers:

  • Direct — Same problem, same solution approach
  • Indirect — Same problem, different solution approach
  • Adjacent — Different problem, but could move into yours

2. Build Competitive Profiles

For each competitor, document:

  • Product: Core offering, key features, pricing model
  • Positioning: What do they say about themselves? What segment do they target?
  • Distribution: How do they reach customers? (Sales-led, product-led, channel)
  • Funding/Size: Revenue range, funding, employee count (indicates staying power)
  • Strengths: Their unfair advantages
  • Weaknesses: Where they're vulnerable

3. Map the Competitive Landscape

Create a positioning map with 2 key axes (e.g., ease of use vs. power, price vs. features). Plot each competitor. Where is there white space? Where is it crowded?

4. Apply Porter's Five Forces

  1. Threat of new entrants — How hard is it to enter this market?
  2. Bargaining power of suppliers — Do suppliers control your costs?
  3. Bargaining power of buyers — Do customers have leverage?
  4. Threat of substitutes — What non-obvious alternatives exist?
  5. Industry rivalry — How intense is competition?

5. Feature Analysis

  • List the top 15-20 features/capabilities in the market
  • Score each competitor: 0=absent, 1=weak, 2=comparable, 3=market-leading
  • Identify where you must match vs. where you can differentiate
  • Highlight features you should deliberately NOT build

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.
