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

community-building-playbook 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 13d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 431 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Community Building Playbook — Developer & User Community Growth

Real-world frameworks distilled from Notion, Lovable ($50M ARR in 6 months via CLG), AFFiNE (0→60K GitHub Stars), ClickUp, Asana, and Lark's global community operations. Read references/benchmarks.md for deep dives into each case study when you need them.


The Core Principle

You cannot build a community. You can only create the conditions for one to form.

The flywheel: Great Product → Organic Love → Self-Generated Content → Community Formation → Ambassador Identification → Ambassador Enablement → More Content + Events → More Users → Repeat.

Every failure to build community traces back to one of two mistakes: starting too early (pre-PMF), or treating community as a distribution channel rather than a mutual-value ecosystem.


Phase 0: Are You Ready?

Before any community program, run this checklist. If more than two items are unchecked, stop and build product.

  • Internal team uses own product daily (Notion's commercial readiness signal — they waited until 2016 to start)
  • Product has a usable core loop (create → use → share works smoothly)
  • You can share something (templates, tutorials, roadmap direction, or user cases)
  • Someone owns community full-time (even 20% of one person's time counts)
  • You can handle inbound (someone reads and responds to community posts within 24h)

The stage decision:

Stage Suitable? Strategy
Pre-PMF ❌ Not yet Find 50–100 deep users, do 1-on-1 interviews, collect feedback
Post-PMF, early growth ⚠️ Cautiously 5–10 seed ambassadors, zero KPIs, completely free
Stable growth ✅ Full program Formal ambassador system with tiers, points, events
Market leader ✅ Full investment Ecosystem network, Affiliate commissions, regional leads

Notion's timeline: Product usable in 2016 → Database launch in 2018 → Founder Ivan starts 1-on-1 with active contributors in 2019 → Official ambassador program in 2020. Four years. Don't rush.

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.
