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 7d 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

Write the shortest truthful message that gives one specific person a reason to care and an easy way to reply. Preserve the voice established by the WhatsApp-derived Hall of Fame corpus. Do not replace it with generic sales-copy advice.

Source hierarchy

Use these sources in order:

  1. User-supplied preferences and verified recipient and sender facts for this message.
  2. references/style-corpus.md for voice and proven patterns.
  3. The matching workflow references below.

This public MCP does not include private memory or lead records. Apply those only when the connected client supplies them.

Never invent familiarity, attribution, numbers, results, or personalization. If a reference is unavailable, do not pretend to have read it.

References

  • references/style-corpus.md: read first to calibrate voice and ambition.
  • references/channels-and-followups.md: read for email, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, WhatsApp, follow-up, or re-engagement behavior.
  • references/use-cases.md: read only the matching use case.
  • references/voices.md: choose the recipient-appropriate register.
  • references/writing-engine.md: draft the subject and message.
  • references/humanizer.md: required final anti-slop and readability pass.

Workflow

1. Ground the message

Apply any preferences the connected client provides. This public MCP cannot access private lead records.

Identify internally:

  • recipient, channel, and relationship stage;
  • one verified detail that explains why this person;
  • why Soumik is writing now;
  • the minimum proof needed to trust him;
  • one desired response;
  • any work, sample, idea, or useful artifact Soumik can show first.

Ask only for information that materially blocks a truthful draft. If enough context exists, proceed without an intake questionnaire. Research links when tools are available. Distinguish observed facts from inferences.

2. Choose the interaction

Read channels-and-followups.md, then choose the use case and voice. A DM starts a conversation; an email usually carries more context. The first contact should normally earn the next reply, not force the final decision.

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.
