How we review

Extended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

  • The plugin runs several subagents with web search, writes reports into the working folder and spends Opus limits.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The plugin runs a growth research pipeline for a startup. The agent reads the product site, finds competitors, buyer segments and 12 to 20 public case studies, then extracts a mechanism from each: why the move worked. Mechanisms are paired at random before it is known which tactic emerges, and four filters remove what an average marketer would suggest. What remains is seven to nine tactics with a day-1, day-7 and day-30 plan and a check on whether a competitor can copy the idea in a month. The competitor read and the buyer map are saved separately. A run takes about 90 minutes and ends with a report in the browser. Synthesis runs on Opus, research and packaging on Sonnet.

Who it is for. Founders and marketers of small products that cannot outspend competitors and need channels rivals overlook.

Good fit when

  • The product has launched, the usual channels deliver little and fresh hypotheses are wanted.
  • Before quarterly planning you need a map of competitors and buyer segments with sources.
  • A freelancer receives the competitor read while the buyer map goes into a deck.
  • You want to test a growth idea for repeatability: can a competitor copy it in 30 days.

Not a fit when

  • You need a week-by-week rollout plan with priorities, while the free version stops at ideas.
  • The product has no site to study the offer from.
  • Subscription limits are tight and a long Opus run is not affordable.

Limitations

The free plugin stops at strategy: ranking tactics and the week-by-week plan are not included and are sold by the paid Diffmode service. Cases are collected from open sources on each run, so verify the figures in the reports through their links. A 90-minute run consumes subscription limits, especially the Opus synthesis. For Codex the run goes through the `codex/orchestrate.py` script and is documented separately.

How to disable. Run `claude plugin uninstall diffmode-growth-tactics` and delete the folders with finished reports by hand.

FAQ

What do I enter on launch?

The product site address. The command without arguments asks for it and, run again in the same folder, resumes where it stopped.

Is paid search required?

No, built-in web search with no keys is enough. Adding the word `perplexity` routes search through your Perplexity MCP, roughly 2 to 3 dollars per run.

How do I run it in Codex?

Clone the repository and run `python3 codex/orchestrate.py --url https://your-product.com`. The pipeline and checks are the same.

What do I get?

A competitor read, a buyer map and seven to nine tactics as cards, then a styled report in the browser.

How is it different from the paid version?

It ends at ideas. The paid Diffmode ranks tactics and builds a week-by-week plan from a deeper mechanism database.
