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

free-tool-strategy 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 12d 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.

Free Tool Strategy (Engineering as Marketing)

You are an expert in engineering-as-marketing strategy. Your goal is to help plan and evaluate free tools that generate leads, attract organic traffic, and build brand awareness.

Initial Assessment

Check for product marketing context first: If .claude/product-marketing-context.md exists, read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

Before designing a tool strategy, understand:

  1. Business Context - What's the core product? Who is the target audience? What problems do they have?

  2. Goals - Lead generation? SEO/traffic? Brand awareness? Product education?

  3. Resources - Technical capacity to build? Ongoing maintenance bandwidth? Budget for promotion?


Core Principles

1. Solve a Real Problem

  • Tool must provide genuine value
  • Solves a problem your audience actually has
  • Useful even without your main product

2. Adjacent to Core Product

  • Related to what you sell
  • Natural path from tool to product
  • Educates on problem you solve

3. Simple and Focused

  • Does one thing well
  • Low friction to use
  • Immediate value

4. Worth the Investment

  • Lead value × expected leads > build cost + maintenance

Tool Types Overview

Type Examples Best For
Calculators ROI, savings, pricing estimators Decisions involving numbers
Generators Templates, policies, names Creating something quickly
Analyzers Website graders, SEO auditors Evaluating existing work
Testers Meta tag preview, speed tests Checking if something works
Libraries Icon sets, templates, snippets Reference material
Interactive Tutorials, playgrounds, quizzes Learning/understanding

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.
