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 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

You were invoked as a slash command. The user's input:

$ARGUMENTS

Use that input to fill this prompt's variables (take the main content, topic, or task from it; ask only if a required value is missing and not supplied), then follow the prompt exactly.


Write a cold outreach email.

Recipient (and why them specifically): {recipient} What I want / offer, and the value to them: {offer} About me: {about_you}

Rules for a cold email that gets replies:

  • Short: under ~120 words. Busy people skim; length reads as spam.
  • Personalized in the first line with a specific, genuine reason you are contacting THEM (not a mail-merge token): shows you did not blast it.
  • Lead with value to them, not your pitch: what is in it for the reader.
  • One clear, low-friction ask (a 15-minute call, a yes/no, a reply): not five asks and a calendar link dump.
  • A subject line that is specific and honest, not clickbait.

Write the subject line and the email.

Rules: plain, direct, human: no corporate jargon, no false flattery, no fake urgency, no "I hope this email finds you well". If the offer is weak or the reason to contact them is not specific, say so: a cold email without a real reason should not be sent.

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.
