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

draft-emails-with-placeholders 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 yesterday.

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.

Draft Emails with Bracketed Placeholders (AI Skill)

Overview

Asking an AI to draft an email for a specific person often bakes in rigid, hallucinated facts ("I enjoyed our conversation on Tuesday about the Philadelphia warehouse...").

The Modular Bracketed Placeholder Pattern instructs the AI to generate high-conversion email templates using standardized uppercase brackets (e.g. [CLIENT_NAME], [METRIC], [DATE]). This prevents factual slip-ups and creates a permanent, reusable template you can deploy across dozens of clients in seconds.

Master Placeholder Prompt Templates

Pattern 1: The Reusable Outreach & Follow-Up Engine

Draft a reusable email template for [SCENARIO: e.g. Following up after an initial discovery call].

Requirements:
1. Use clear, uppercase bracketed placeholders for all dynamic variables (e.g. `[FIRST_NAME]`, `[COMPANY]`, `[PAIN_POINT]`, `[PROPOSED_DATE]`).
2. Tone: Warm, executive, and direct (under 120 words).
3. Do not invent fake client names or specific numbers.
4. Conclude with a low-friction, single-question Call to Action (CTA).

Pattern 2: The Multi-Stage Drip Funnel Generator

Create a 3-part email follow-up sequence for [SCENARIO: e.g. Overdue Invoice Collection].
- Email 1 (Day 1 Past Due): Friendly reminder with `[INVOICE_NUMBER]` and `[AMOUNT]`.
- Email 2 (Day 7 Past Due): Firm check-in with `[PAYMENT_LINK]`.
- Email 3 (Day 14 Past Due): Formal notice referencing `[CONTRACT_CLAUSE]` and service pause.

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.
