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

playbook-warm-intros 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Playbook: Warm Intros

All rules here are best practice, not law. Override any of them when the campaign calls for it; note the best practice once and move on.

Use when: the campaign's whole premise is that the prospect is already one hop from the client, and you need both the list and the line. The strongest version, and the one to build first, is "you used to work at a company that is now our client's customer".

Do not use when: you want a second contact at an account you already email (playbook-name-to-other-prospects), people who engaged with a competitor's or customer's posts (playbook-linkedin-engagement), or companies similar to a seed set (playbook-lookalikes).

One-line output: warm_intro_line = "you came up through Coca-Cola, who we work with now", rendering as Noticed you came up through Coca-Cola, who we work with now.

⚠️ Status: sources probed, no line graded

This is the least proven playbook in the library, and it is written that way deliberately.

  • Member 2's source probe passed — 20/20 rows carried a dated matched past experience, a profile URL and a city, and 15/20 had moved on.
  • Member 5's source probe passed — the investor filter returns a real result count.
  • No member has produced a graded warm_intro_line.

Everything below §3 is a build spec, not a measured path. Treat the coverage and quality claims as unverified until you run one.

1. A family, not one playbook

A warm-intro signal is any evidence that the prospect is already one hop from the client, so email 1 can lean on a real connection instead of a cold pitch.

Seven members share the copy shape warm_intro_line. They do not share a data source. So this is one routing table plus one build recipe per member.

# Member What it means Status
1 same-company alumni Everyone who ever worked at the case-study company and has since moved on live, same build as 2
2 current-customer alumni The prospect used to work at one of the client's current customers live, top priority, build this first
3 engagement overlap The prospect engages with the same content the client's world does live, but routed to playbook-linkedin-engagement
4 same metro The prospect sits in the same city as the client, a named rep, or an upcoming trip live
5 shared investor or advisor A common investor, board member or advisor links the two companies live
mutual connection A first-degree connection in common deleted. Do not re-add it, do not prototype it
7 event attendee Both attended, spoke at or sponsored the same event live as a custom scrape every time. There is no reusable recipe and there will not be one
8 website visitor The prospect's company already visited the client's site live as a per-client toggle, not a standing integration

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.
