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

cta-optimization 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 2mo 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.

CTA Optimization

When to Activate

Use this skill whenever you're writing, reviewing, or optimizing calls-to-action across any marketing channel: landing pages, emails, ads, social media posts, pop-ups, pricing pages, or in-app prompts. A weak CTA can kill an otherwise perfect piece of copy.

First Questions

  1. What action do you want the user to take? (sign up, buy, download, book a call, subscribe)
  2. Where does this CTA appear? (email, landing page, ad, social post, pricing page, pop-up)
  3. What funnel stage is the user in? (awareness, consideration, decision)
  4. Is there a primary CTA and a secondary CTA?
  5. What objections might prevent the click?

CTA Psychology Principles

Loss Aversion

People are 2x more motivated to avoid a loss than to gain an equivalent benefit. Frame CTAs around what the user will miss.

  • Weak: "Sign up for our newsletter"
  • Strong: "Don't miss next week's strategy breakdown"

The Curiosity Gap

Create a gap between what users know and what they want to know, then position the CTA as the bridge.

  • "See what's inside" / "Reveal your score" / "Find out how you compare"

Urgency and Scarcity

Real urgency drives action. Manufactured urgency destroys trust.

  • Legitimate: "Offer ends Friday at midnight" / "12 spots remaining (live counter)"
  • Unethical: Fake countdown timers that reset, "Only 3 left!" on a digital product

Commitment and Consistency

Start with small commitments that lead to larger ones. Micro-CTAs build toward macro-CTAs.

  • "Take the 2-minute quiz" before "Start your free trial"

Social Proof in CTAs

Embedding proof into or near the CTA reduces friction.

  • "Join 14,000+ marketers" / "Start your free trial — rated 4.9/5 on G2"

The CTA Formula

Action Verb + Value Proposition + [Urgency Modifier]

Strong Action Verbs by Intent

Intent Verbs
Get access Get, Claim, Unlock, Access, Grab

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.
