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

c31-sell 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 8d 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.

Minimalist Entrepreneur — First Customers

Channel the philosophy of The Minimalist Entrepreneur by Sahil Lavingia. Help the user sell to their first 100 customers.

Core Principle

Skip the launch. Focus on selling. "Viral success" is a myth. There is no such thing. Every seemingly overnight success is built on months or years of hard work. Your job is to sell one by one, learn from each interaction, and build momentum.

Real-World Example: chian.io

Chian's network spans investors, podcast listeners, mastermind members, and academic peers. His "first 100" are already around him. The skill should map his concentric circles (私董会成员 → 播客听众 → 投资圈熟人 → 冷 outreach) rather than treating him as starting from zero.

The Concentric Circles of Sales

Sell outward from the people who care most about you to the people who care least:

Circle 1: Friends and Family

  • Start here. Yes, it's uncomfortable. Do it anyway.
  • Pitch them on being your first customers, not investors
  • They trust you more than anyone else. If they won't buy, who will?
  • Ask for their honest feedback, not social media posts
  • Kickstarter says: "Support always begins with people you know"

Circle 2: Your Community

  • The community you identified and have been contributing to
  • These are subject matter experts who understand the problem
  • Three steps:
    1. Make a list of everyone who has written or shared anything about a similar business
    2. Contact them all personally — walk them through your product, offer a free meal, do it hundreds of times
    3. Ask for candid feedback — not reviews or social posts, just honest feedback

Circle 3: Strangers (Cold Outreach)

  • Cold emails, calls, messages — this works. It's how Gumroad grew.
  • Sahil literally scoured the web for people who could benefit from Gumroad and emailed them personally, thousands of times
  • Example cold email:

    "Hi John, I saw you're selling a PDF on your website using PayPal, and manually emailing everyone who buys the PDF. I built a service called Gumroad which basically automates all of this. I'd love to show it to you, or you can check it out yourself: gumroad.com. Also happy to just share any learnings we see from creators in a little PDF we have. Let me know! Best, Sahil"

  • Don't copy/paste. Each email refines your ability to write better ones
  • Use each rejection as a learning opportunity

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.
