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 B, and why

outreach scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 13d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Draft Outreach

Create personalized outreach messages for job search networking.

Step 0: Load Context

  1. Read data/profile.yml
  2. Check data/research/{company}.md for company intelligence
  3. Check data/evaluations/ for any evaluation at this company

If no company research exists:

"I don't have research on {company} yet. Better outreach comes from better intel. Want me to research them first, or should I draft something with what I know?"

Step 1: Identify the Contact

Parse user input for: contact name, title, company, platform.

If no specific contact named, suggest based on research file:

"Based on my research, here are contacts at {company}: {list from research} Who would you like to reach out to?"

Step 2: Determine Message Type

Type When Length
LinkedIn connection request No existing connection Under 300 characters
LinkedIn message Already connected 100-200 words
Cold email Have their email 100-150 words
Follow-up Already reached out, no response 5+ days 50-75 words

Ask the user which type if not clear from context.

Step 3: Generate Using 3-Part Structure

Part 1: Hook (about THEM, not you)

Reference something specific about the company, their work, or a recent event.

Bad: "I'm really interested in your company" (about you) Bad: "I'd love to connect" (generic) Good: "Your team's work on {specific project/launch} caught my attention" Good: "I noticed {company} just {recent event from research}"

Part 2: Proof (one quantifiable thing about you)

One sentence. One number. Directly relevant to their world.

Bad: "I have 10 years of experience in marketing" Good: "I grew organic traffic 3x at {Company} in 8 months" Good: "I managed a $2M portfolio with 98% client retention"

Pull the most relevant proof point from the user's profile that connects to the target company's needs.

Part 3: Proposal (low-pressure ask)

Bad: "Can you refer me?" (presumptuous) Bad: "I'd love to pick your brain" (vague, one-sided) Good: "Would you be open to a 15-minute chat about what {team} looks for?" Good: "I'd appreciate any advice on standing out for the {role} opening"
