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

traffic-channels 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.

Каналы трафика

Правило: 1 канал, 1 фича. Один канал минимум 2 недели, весь бюджет и время туда. Распыление = ноль инсайтов в каждом канале.

4 вопроса перед выбором

  1. Где живёт ЦА? пенсионеры → ТВ; разработчики → X/Reddit; маркетологи → LinkedIn; подростки → TikTok.
  2. Уже ищут решение? да → SEO/Google Ads; нет → соцсети/контент.
  3. Сколько времени? 2 недели → только платная реклама; 2 месяца → контент; 6 месяцев → SEO.
  4. Сколько денег? $0 → органика; ~$200 → тест платного; >$2000 → масштаб.

Первый шаг по каналу

  • SEO — 10 страниц по формуле «AI для Y» (напр. «AI-писалка для студентов»). Первая статья под ключевой запрос.
  • Google Ads — 5–10 длинных запросов с явным намерением купить. Не ставить на широкие фразы вроде «AI tool» — дорого и нерелевантно.
  • Meta Ads — 5–10 видео по 15 сек. Первая секунда решает всё.
  • Соцсети — пост о запуске: что сделал, зачем, ссылка.
  • Reddit / HN / PH — честный пост в релевантном сообществе, без спама.

Все ссылки — с UTM-метками, иначе канал не виден в аналитике.

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.
