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

dan-kennedy-copy 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.

Dan Kennedy Direct Response Copywriting

Write copy that sells NOW using Dan Kennedy's "No B.S." direct response marketing principles

When to Use This Skill

  • Writing sales copy that must generate immediate, trackable response

What This Skill Does

This skill transforms your marketing from vague brand advertising into accountable direct response that sells. Dan Kennedy's approach is brutally simple: if you can't track the money coming back, stop doing it.

Instead of copying big brand advertisers (which will bankrupt small businesses), you'll:

  1. Always include a specific offer
  2. Create urgency to respond NOW
  3. Give crystal-clear instructions
  4. Track everything
  5. Follow up relentlessly
  6. Write copy that SELLS, not entertains

The result: marketing where every dollar is accountable and you know exactly what's working.

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.
