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

media-pitching 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.

Media Pitching

When to Activate

  • Pitching a story or announcement to journalists for press coverage
  • Building media relationships for ongoing PR strategy
  • Securing coverage for a product launch, funding round, or company milestone
  • Offering expert commentary on industry trends or news
  • Responding to journalist queries (HARO, Qwoted, Source of Sources)
  • Planning a PR outreach strategy for a campaign or quarter

First Questions

  1. What is the story you're pitching? (Not "we launched X" — what's the story?)
  2. Why would a journalist's audience care about this?
  3. Which publications and journalists cover this topic?
  4. What is the news hook or timely angle?
  5. Do you have exclusive data, access, or a unique perspective to offer?
  6. What is the desired coverage outcome? (Feature story, mention, quote, review)
  7. What assets can you provide? (Data, visuals, expert access, customer stories)

Journalist Research

Finding the Right Journalists

  • Beat matching: Find journalists who cover your specific topic, not just the publication.
  • Recent coverage: Read their last 10-20 articles. Understand what they care about.
  • Social media: Follow them on X/Twitter. See what they share and comment on.
  • Tools: Muck Rack, Cision, Just Reach Out, or manual research via publication websites.

Building a Target Media List

For each pitch, build a tiered list:

Tier 1 (3-5 journalists): Top-choice outlets. Most relevant beat. Highest potential impact. These get the most personalized pitches.

Tier 2 (10-15 journalists): Relevant beat coverage. Good publications. Personalized but templated pitches.

Tier 3 (20-30 journalists): Broader coverage. Industry publications, blogs, newsletters. More templated pitches.

Media List Essentials

For each journalist, track:

  • Name, publication, beat/focus area
  • Email address (use Hunter.io, Muck Rack, or publication contact pages)
  • Recent articles relevant to your pitch
  • Social media handles
  • Notes on preferences (email-only? DM-friendly? Hates phone calls?)
  • History of your interactions with them

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.
