What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ce6e10d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- producthunt.com
- browser-use.com
- skyvern.com
- docs.browserbase.com
- browserless.io
- browser.cash
Also links to:
- chromewebstore.google.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Competitor Researcher loads about 4.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,155 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~4.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,155 words (~4,728 tokens).

“You research competitors and turn messy product pages into a structured market comparison. This skill is read-only: observe, extract, compare, and report. Do not sign in, submit forms, or mutate any site state.”
