A guide to using countdowns, deadlines, limited stock notices, and other urgency signals when the limit is real. It distinguishes genuine scarcity from timers or claims that reset without consequence.

What is it for?
Use it to design sale deadlines, event timers, enrollment closing notices, inventory messages, and truthful social-proof indicators.

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

countdown-urgency 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Countdown & Urgency

Ethical Urgency

  • Real deadlines (event date, sale end, enrollment close)
  • Real scarcity (limited seats, limited inventory)
  • Never fake urgency (manufactured countdowns that reset)

Design Patterns

  • Countdown timer: days, hours, minutes for events
  • Stock level: "3 left" for genuine limited inventory
  • Deadline: "Offer ends Friday" for real promotions
  • Social proof: "12 people viewing this" if real

Rules

  1. Only use urgency when it's genuine
  2. Don't refresh the countdown when it expires
  3. Clear consequence of missing the deadline
  4. Never combine multiple urgency tactics
  5. Fake urgency erodes trust permanently
Changes

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.
