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

prospecting 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 1mo 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.

Prospecting

Chain Hunter tools into a complete prospecting workflow. Discover companies, find contacts, verify emails, and enrich -- all in one go.

Examples

  • /hunter:prospecting Find CTOs at fintech startups in France
  • /hunter:prospecting decision-makers at Stripe, Notion, and Figma
  • "Build me a list of marketing leads at SaaS companies in Germany"
  • "I need 20 VPs of Sales at mid-size tech companies"
  • "Find people to reach out to at companies using Salesforce in healthcare"

Workflow

For a quick starting point, you can call Plan-Prospecting-Flow with the user's goal to get a suggested end-to-end plan, then execute the steps below (or a refinement of it).

Step 1: Identify Companies

Parse the user's request to determine the starting point:

  • Specific companies provided (e.g., "Stripe, Notion, Figma") -- skip to Step 2.
  • Criteria provided (e.g., "fintech startups in France") -- call Find-Companies with the criteria as the query parameter. If the user is targeting people by role (e.g. "CTOs at fintech startups"), still start from Find-Companies, then use Domain-Search's seniority/department filters in Step 2 to pull just those people. (Find-People only counts contacts per company -- use it to size the batch, not to list people.)

Whenever more than one company will be searched, present the list and get approval before running Domain-Search, because each Domain-Search spends credits (1 per 10 results) and single-company calls have no built-in batch-consent gate:

"I found [N] companies matching your criteria. Here are the results. Which should I search for contacts? Select specific companies or say 'proceed with all' — each Domain Search uses 1 credit per 10 results returned."

For long lists (>10), show the top results rather than all of them.

Step 2: Find Contacts

For each company, call Domain-Search with the company's domain. Use server-side filters:

  • "CTOs" or "engineering leaders" -> department: "it", seniority: "executive"
  • "marketing team" -> department: "marketing"
  • "executives" or "C-suite" -> seniority: "executive"
  • "senior people" -> seniority: "senior,executive"

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.
