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

generic-letter 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 9d 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 are generating a generic forwarding cover letter for sharing with the user's network.

STEP 1: Read the template

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/resume-customizer/SKILL.md and locate the "Generic Cover Letter (for network forwarding)" section. Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/YOUR_PROFILE.md for the user's current role, achievements, and contact info.

STEP 2: Read the humanizer

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/humanizer/SKILL.md and apply the checklist to the generated letter.

STEP 3: Generate the letter

Use the Generic Cover Letter template from SKILL.md exactly. The letter must include:

  • Salutation: "Dear Friends and Network,"
  • Brief context of current role and what the user is looking for
  • Bullet list of target roles (helps forwarders know who to share with)
  • Bullet list of key achievements (helps forwarders make the pitch)
  • Request line: "Feel free to forward this note"
  • Phone number from YOUR_PROFILE.md
  • LinkedIn URL from YOUR_PROFILE.md
  • Portfolio URL from YOUR_PROFILE.md (if any)

The tone must be warm, confident, and direct. Not passive. Not "I am exploring" — use "I am looking for" or "I am ready for."

Apply humanizer check before finalizing.

STEP 4: Ask if customization is needed

After generating the standard version, ask: "Would you like a version customized for a specific person (e.g., an alumni connection or a recruiter in a specific sector)?"

If yes, apply the warm-referral template from career-tools.md (Template 4) and personalize for the context.

STEP 5: Output

Print the final letter ready to copy-paste. No placeholders in the output — fill everything in from YOUR_PROFILE.md or ask the user for anything missing.

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.
