Day 30 morning run of the content engine: the 27 Oct daily brief and one new alternatives page, plus two positioning fixes on older Cowork posts.

What changed

• New: claude-cowork-alternatives (BACKLOG b071). Six alternatives for office work, Munder Difflin second: Hob, Munder Difflin, ChatGPT Work, Goose, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent. Sections on where the work runs, prices (dated 27 Oct 2026) and a pick list. Title card plus 3 scenes. Demand: Search Console shows "claude cowork" at 188 impressions plus free, cost and plan queries (28 days to 24 Oct); Hob's Show HN (26 Oct, 125 points) pitches it as an on device alternative to Claude Cowork.
• New: agent-tools-today-2026-10-27, the daily brief: GPT-6.1 Terra, Hob, PaperPilot, tstack, Claude Code v2.1.311, Copilot CLI v1.0.104, Cline v4.1.26, SkillSpector, the Anthropic S-1 thread, Cloudflare's GLM 5.3 KV cache report. One scene.
• Fix: what-is-claude-cowork and claude-cowork-vs-claude-code. Each still described Munder Difflin as "a team of coding agents" (ENGINE.md section P, 22 Oct). Both now use the house line and link the new alternatives page.
• media.json: two entries (inserted mid file, next to their neighbours, so they do not collide with seo-engine: launch desk 27 Oct 01:00 IST, GPT-6.1 Terra #794's entry at the end).
• docs/ rebuilt.

Checks

• gate.mjs: PASS on all four changed posts (brief 1,193 words; claude-cowork-alternatives 1,131; what-is-claude-cowork 1,186, length warning only; claude-cowork-vs-claude-code 1,112).
• One independent fact review: FAIL on 12 lines (alternatives) and 5 lines (brief), PASS on the two fixes. All points fixed with the reviewer's wording, except one table period kept so the gate does not read Munder Difflin's row as priced. Main fixes: Cowork can split a task across sub-agents; ChatGPT Work can also run locally; Munder Difflin moved second in every list; Hob's offline claim attributed and qualified with its own docs; local files sentence no longer implies nothing leaves the machine.
• npm run build clean; new pages, stills and motion.js return 200 from the built docs/.
• OpenSEO credits used: 0.
