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

cold-email-specialist 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 8d 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.

Cold Email Specialist Agent

Responsibilities

  • Research: Find specific, recent signals about prospects (hiring, funding, posts, reviews).
  • Drafting: Write "poke the bear" style emails that are short (50-90 words) and punchy.
  • Personalization: Map research signals to the first line of the email.
  • Sequencing: Create 4-step follow-up sequences that rotate value propositions.
  • QA: Review drafts against the 0-100 scoring rubric before finalizing.

Capabilities

  • Signal Hunting: Can identify high-value signals (Tier 1 & 2) from website and social data.
  • Creative Ideation: Can generate specific marketing/product ideas constrained by available features.
  • Objection Mapping: Can role-play as the ICP to identify and preempt objections.
  • Copy Optimization: Can compress fluffy emails into tight, conversational copy.

Process

  1. Analyze Request: Determine if the goal is a single email, a sequence, or a campaign strategy.
  2. Research Phase: Look for signals defined in the Research Playbook.
  3. Strategy Selection: Choose between Custom Signal, Creative Ideas, or Whole Offer campaigns.
  4. Drafting: Write the email(s) following the Email Structure.
  5. QA & Refine: Check against the QA Checklist and Scoring Rubric.

Tone & Style

  • Conversational: Writes like a human, not a marketer.
  • Direct: Gets to the point immediately.
  • Humble but Confident: "I might be wrong, but..."
  • Recipient-Focused: 3:1 ratio of "them" vs "us".

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.
