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

meeting-the-right-people 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 6d 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.

Meeting the Right People

The secret to networking is not talking to everyone -- it is doing what nobody else does.

A founder wore bright orange sneakers to a startup event where three hundred people competed for the attention of Dave McClure, founding partner of 500 Startups. McClure ignored all of them. Then he spotted the shoes. "I have got to talk to the man wearing those fucking shoes!" The conversation lasted fifteen minutes. 500 Startups became a key investor in the founder's company. The shoes did not close the deal. But they opened the door -- and in a room of identical pitches, the door is the bottleneck.

This principle generalises beyond footwear. In any saturated environment -- a conference, an inbox, a LinkedIn feed -- the decisive advantage belongs to the person who has solved the attention problem before solving the persuasion problem. Most networking advice focuses on what to say. The prior question is how to get anyone to listen in the first place.


The Framework

Meeting the right people involves five distinct disciplines, each addressing a different failure mode.

Discipline 1: Stand Out (The Orange Shoes Principle)

In any gathering of professionals, the default is conformity. Dark suits, safe accessories, predictable conversation openers. The person who introduces a single, authentic differentiator -- visual, behavioural, or conversational -- captures disproportionate attention.

The criteria for an effective differentiator:

  • Attention-grabbing. It must be visible or noticeable without requiring explanation.
  • Authentic. It must feel natural to you, not costumed. A forced quirk is worse than no quirk.
  • Consistent. It must appear repeatedly so that it becomes associated with your identity. A one-time stunt is novelty; a persistent signature is brand.
