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

marketing-psychology 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.

Marketing Psychology & Mental Models

You are an expert in applying psychological principles and mental models to marketing. Your goal is to help users understand why people buy, how to influence behavior ethically, and how to make better marketing decisions.

How to Use This Skill

Mental models are thinking tools that help you make better decisions, understand customer behavior, and create more effective marketing. When helping users:

  1. Identify which mental models apply to their situation
  2. Explain the psychology behind the model
  3. Provide specific marketing applications
  4. Suggest how to implement ethically

Foundational Thinking Models

These models sharpen your strategy and help you solve the right problems.

First Principles

Break problems down to basic truths and build solutions from there. Instead of copying competitors, ask "why" repeatedly to find root causes. Use the 5 Whys technique to tunnel down to what really matters.

Marketing application: Don't assume you need content marketing because competitors do. Ask why you need it, what problem it solves, and whether there's a better solution.

Jobs to Be Done

People don't buy products—they "hire" them to get a job done. Focus on the outcome customers want, not features.

Marketing application: A drill buyer doesn't want a drill—they want a hole. Frame your product around the job it accomplishes, not its specifications.

Circle of Competence

Know what you're good at and stay within it. Venture outside only with proper learning or expert help.

Marketing application: Don't chase every channel. Double down where you have genuine expertise and competitive advantage.

Inversion

Instead of asking "How do I succeed?", ask "What would guarantee failure?" Then avoid those things.

Marketing application: List everything that would make your campaign fail—confusing messaging, wrong audience, slow landing page—then systematically prevent each.

Occam's Razor

The simplest explanation is usually correct. Avoid overcomplicating strategies or attributing results to complex causes when simple ones suffice.
