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

newsletter-generation 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.

Newsletter Generation

Overview

Generates professional, well-researched newsletters combining curated content from multiple sources with original analysis and commentary. Follows modern newsletter best practices (Morning Brew, The Hustle, TLDR, Benedict Evans).

Output is a complete, ready-to-publish newsletter in Markdown.

When to Use

  • User asks to generate a newsletter, email digest, or content roundup
  • User requests a curated summary of news or developments on a topic
  • User wants to create a recurring newsletter format
  • User asks to compile recent developments into a briefing
  • User asks for a "weekly roundup", "monthly digest", or "morning briefing"

Newsletter Workflow

Phase 1: Planning

Identify:

  • Topic(s): main subject(s) of the newsletter
  • Format: daily digest, weekly roundup, deep-dive, industry briefing
  • Audience: technical, executive, general
  • Tone: informative, casual, analytical
  • Length: target word count or item count

Phase 2: Research & Curation

Use web_search + browse_page to gather content:

  1. Search broadly for recent developments on the topic
  2. Fetch full articles with browse_page on promising results
  3. Curate 5-10 items worth featuring — prioritize:
    • Breaking news / announcements
    • Original analysis / thought leadership
    • Data releases / reports
    • Interesting perspectives
  4. Extract key facts from each source: headline, key point, why it matters
  5. Verify claims with a second source where possible

Phase 3: Writing

Structure the newsletter:

# [Newsletter Name] — [Date]

## This Week's Headline
[1-2 sentence hook for the top story]

---

## Top Stories

### 1. [Headline]
[2-3 sentence summary of the story]
**Why it matters**: [1 sentence on significance]
[Source](URL)

### 2. [Headline]
[...]

### 3. [Headline]
[...]

---

## Quick Hits
- [Brief item with link](URL)
- [Brief item with link](URL)
- [Brief item with link](URL)

---

## Deep Dive: [Topic]
[Longer analysis section on one key topic — 200-400 words.
Original commentary, not just summary. Add your perspective on
what this means for the audience.]

## Quote of the Week

## Coming Up Next Week

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.
