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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are generating outreach messages for the user's job search. The user has described the target contact or company.

STEP 1: Read the outreach templates

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/resume-customizer/references/career-tools.md for the 6 outreach templates and personalization guidance. Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/YOUR_PROFILE.md for the user's name, title, phone, LinkedIn, portfolio, and key achievements.

STEP 2: Identify the right template

Select based on the user's input:

Situation Template
Cold LinkedIn connection request Template 1 (300 char limit)
LinkedIn InMail to hiring manager Template 2
Cold email to recruiter Template 3
WhatsApp / direct message to warm contact for referral Template 4
Following up after no response Template 5
Thank you after interview Template 6

If the context is ambiguous, ask which situation applies before generating.

STEP 3: Personalize the message

Mandatory personalizations:

  • Replace [NAME] with the person's name if provided
  • Replace [COMPANY] with the actual company name
  • Replace [SPECIFIC] with something real about their work or company news if mentioned
  • Replace [ROLE] with the actual role if known
  • For Template 2 (InMail): include a specific company challenge or product reference
  • For Template 4 (warm DM): use first name only, keep casual tone
  • Pull the user's name, title, scope, achievements, phone, and LinkedIn from YOUR_PROFILE.md

Never use generic placeholders in the final output — fill them in or explicitly mark what the user needs to fill in manually before sending.

STEP 4: Output the message

Output the ready-to-send message clearly formatted, followed by:

  • Channel: [where to send this]
  • Length: [character / word count]
  • What to customize before sending: [any remaining gaps]
  • Follow-up timing: [when to follow up if no response]

For warm outreach, include phone from YOUR_PROFILE.md. For email / InMail, include LinkedIn from YOUR_PROFILE.md.

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.
