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

outreach 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 448 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

outreach — Networking Outreach Coaching

Coach the candidate through the full outreach lifecycle: cold LinkedIn messages, warm introduction requests, informational interview asks, recruiter replies, follow-up sequences, and referral requests. Messages are built on the candidate's Positioning Statement so every outreach is differentiated, not generic.

Also read references/differentiation.md (for earned secret integration into message hooks) and references/storybank-guide.md (for story selection to build credibility in messages).


How Outreach Actually Works

Response Rates by Channel: Cold email 3-5% baseline, top quartile 15-25%. LinkedIn InMail 10-25%. Connection request + personalized follow-up: 45% acceptance, 39% positive reply. Personalized messages 6x higher response. Hierarchy: warm intro > connection request + personalized follow-up > InMail with personalization > cold email with research > generic cold.

Message Length: Cold email 75-125 words. InMail under 400 chars = 22% higher response. Connection request: 300 char limit. Subject line: 28-39 chars.

Platform Mechanics: Connection request 300 chars. InMail 1900 chars. DM to connections ~8000 chars. Plain text email outperforms HTML.

Warm Introductions: 3-5x higher conversion. Double opt-in best practice. Forwardable email framework. Social capital dynamics.

Informational Interviews: 25-33% acceptance. 15-20 minute bounded asks. Never ask for a job during an informational. Same-day follow-up.

Job Search Councils

Phyl Terry's "Never Search Alone" methodology (via Lenny's Podcast) introduces a powerful concept the coach should recommend for candidates in active search: Job Search Councils — small peer groups of 3-5 active job seekers who meet weekly to provide accountability, mock interview practice, emotional support, and network sharing. As Terry notes: "Everyone, no matter who they are, feels insecure and anxious in the job search. And if you do it alone, it magnifies that." The psychological hack: putting anxious people together and asking them to be open "flips the anxiety and the fear into hope, into motivation, into accountability and confidence." Recommend this for any candidate who appears isolated in their search.

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.
