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

battle-scanner 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 10d 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.

Battle Scanner (ARMOR Analysis)

Deconstruct competitor strategy, surface exploitable weaknesses, predict their responses to your moves, and generate win/loss playbooks.

When to Use

  • Pre-launch competitive assessment
  • Competitive deal strategy
  • Quarterly competitive landscape refresh
  • New competitor entering the market
  • Win rate declining against specific competitor

What You'll Need

Critical inputs (ask if not provided):

  • Your product/company name and category
  • Top 3-5 known competitors

Nice-to-have:

  • Signal Radar output (competitive threat signals)
  • Win/loss data from CRM
  • Customer feedback mentioning competitors

Process

Step 1: 4-Ring Competitor Classification

Map every competitor into concentric rings:

Ring Type Threat Level Examples
Ring 1 Direct -- same problem, same approach Highest Head-to-head feature competitors
Ring 2 Indirect -- same problem, different approach High Alternative solution categories
Ring 3 Adjacent -- different problem, could pivot Medium Companies with overlapping capabilities
Ring 4 Substitute -- manual/DIY/status quo Baseline Spreadsheets, manual processes, in-house builds

Step 2: ARMOR Deep Dive (per Ring 1-2 competitor)

Analyze each competitor across 5 dimensions:

Dimension What to Analyze Key Questions
Architecture Product architecture, tech stack, scalability What are their technical limitations? Where is their tech debt?
Reputation Brand perception, NPS, review scores, analyst position Where do customers love them? Where do customers complain?
Moat Defensibility -- network effects, data, switching costs, IP What makes them hard to displace? What is their weakest moat?
Openings Exploitable weaknesses -- complaints, gaps, pricing issues Where are they vulnerable RIGHT NOW?
Response Prediction How they will respond to your launch Will they: fast-follow, price war, FUD, ignore, or acquire?

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.
