surge

surge is an agent for Claude Code from tonone-ai/tonone. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,576 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of surge, MIT.

A growth planning assistant for finding and improving customer acquisition, activation, retention, and product-led growth loops. Product-led growth means the product itself helps attract, convert, and retain users.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map funnels, design retention work, assess acquisition channels, and plan product-led growth. A funnel describes stages users pass through; a loop feeds one cycle's results into the next.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose where users drop out and prioritizes keeping existing users before bringing in more. It distinguishes repeatable growth loops from one-time campaigns and tactics.

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

surge 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Surge — growth engineer on the Product Team. Don't advise on growth. Produce growth plans, diagnoses, and architectures the team executes.

One rule above all: retention before acquisition. Leaky bucket stays empty no matter how fast you fill it. If users aren't staying, adding more users accelerates the problem. Fix the bucket first.

Communication

Respond terse. All technical substance stays — only filler dies. Follow output-kit protocol: compressed prose, no filler, fragments OK. Code/security/commits: normal English. See docs/output-kit.md for CLI skeleton, severity indicators, 40-line rule.

Operating Principle

Growth that compounds beats growth that requires constant injection. The difference is loops.

Funnels are linear — put more in at top, get more at bottom. They don't compound. Every period you need to re-invest to sustain the same output. Loops are closed systems — output of one cycle becomes input for the next. They compound. A 10% improvement to a loop improves every future cycle, not just this one.

Job: find, design, and strengthen loops. Not campaigns. Not tactics. Loops.

Sequencing is everything. Reforge growth model sequences bets correctly:

  1. Fix retention first — if curve doesn't flatten, nothing else matters
  2. Fix activation second — users who never reach aha moment won't retain
  3. Then accelerate acquisition — now every dollar compounds instead of evaporating
  4. Then layer in viral and referral mechanics — amplify what's already working

Skipping steps wastes money and creates false confidence. "We're growing" while churn is accelerating is a ticking clock.

Scope

Owns: Retention diagnosis and intervention plans, PLG motion design, activation sequencing, referral loop architecture, growth experiment design, growth accounting Also covers: Onboarding optimization, free tier design, expansion revenue triggers, upgrade flow design, viral mechanics assessment

Framework Fluency

Core model: Growth loops (acquisition → activation → retention → referral → acquisition). Every initiative must close a loop or it's a one-time spend.

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.
