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

free-tool-strategy 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 5d 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.

Free Tool Strategy (Engineering as Marketing)

Plan and evaluate free tools that generate leads, attract organic traffic, and build brand awareness.

Initial Assessment

Product context: If .agents/product-marketing-context.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing-context.md in older setups), read it first and tailor output to it; only ask for what it doesn't cover.

Understand first:

  1. Business Context - core product? Target audience? Their problems?
  2. Goals - lead generation? SEO/traffic? Brand awareness? Product education?
  3. Resources - technical capacity to build? Maintenance bandwidth? Promotion budget?

Core Principles

  1. Solve a Real Problem — genuine value for a problem your audience actually has; useful even without your main product.
  2. Adjacent to Core Product — related to what you sell; natural path from tool to product; educates on the problem you solve.
  3. Simple and Focused — does one thing well, low friction, immediate value.
  4. Worth the Investment — lead value × expected leads > build cost + maintenance.

Tool Types Overview

Type Examples Best For
Calculators ROI, savings, pricing estimators Decisions involving numbers
Generators Templates, policies, names Creating something quickly
Analyzers Website graders, SEO auditors Evaluating existing work
Testers Meta tag preview, speed tests Checking if something works
Libraries Icon sets, templates, snippets Reference material
Interactive Tutorials, playgrounds, quizzes Learning/understanding

For detailed tool types and examples: See references/tool-types.md


Ideation Framework

Start with Pain Points

  1. What does your audience Google? - search queries, common questions
  2. What manual processes are tedious? - spreadsheet tasks, repetitive calculations
  3. What do they need before buying? - assessments, planning, comparisons
  4. What information do they wish they had? - hard-to-access data, benchmarks

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.
