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

cold-email 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 2d 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.

Cold Email — JMC Outreach Craft Skill

Comprehensive cold email orchestrator for B2B operators. Anchors every output on a Pain Signal Profile (not demographics) and forces the output into a shape you can ship.

Quick Reference

Slash What it does
/cold-email Interactive mode — detect intent, route to a sub-skill
/cold-email write Draft a single signal-anchored cold email (<90 words, binary CTA)
/cold-email sequence Design a 3-touch or 5-touch follow-up sequence
/cold-email audit 30-point outbound program audit (infra / targeting / messaging / ops)
/cold-email nurture 5-email nurture stream with route-to-sales trigger
/cold-email deliverability 15-point pre-campaign domain health check
/cold-email subject Subject-line patterns by framework (pain / curiosity / proof / direct)

Core principles (the JMC stance)

  1. A cold email is a hire — not a search query. Every prompt anchors on a Pain Signal Profile, names the constraint, and forces the output into a shape you can ship.
  2. No demographics in the opener. "VP of Marketing at Series B SaaS" isn't a signal. "Just posted a job for a Demand Gen Lead" is.
  3. Binary CTAs only. "Worth 15 minutes Thursday?" not "Let me know if you'd like to learn more."
  4. <90 words for the first touch. Anything longer signals desperation.
  5. One specific ask per email. Stack-ranked asks confuse buyers.
  6. No "Hope you're well" / "Just bumping this". Banned openers.

Workflow router

When invoked, detect the user's intent and route to a sub-skill:

User says Route to
"Write a cold email to..." skills/cold-email-craft
"Build a 3-touch / follow-up sequence" skills/cold-email-craft (sequence mode)
"Audit my outbound program" skills/cold-email-audit
"Design a nurture stream" skills/cold-email-nurture
"Is my domain ready to send?" skills/cold-email-deliverability
"Suggest subject lines" skills/cold-email-subject-lines

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.
