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

cold-email-writer 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 9d 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.

Cold Email Writer

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • Write a cold outreach email to a hiring manager, founder, or recruiter
  • Reach out about a job opening they weren't referred to
  • Introduce themselves to a company they want to work at
  • Mentions: "cold email", "reach out", "intro email", "outreach", "contact hiring manager"

Core Principle

Cold emails fail because they sound like cover letters. The goal is to sound like a smart person who genuinely noticed something specific about the company — not a candidate broadcasting their credentials.

The email should feel like: A colleague mentioning something interesting they read, not a sales pitch.

The Template Structure

Subject

Quick intro — [First Name Last Name]

Simple. No clickbait. No role title. Just a name.

Opening — The Hook (2-3 sentences)

Start with what genuinely pulled the candidate in. Must be specific to this company — not a generic compliment.

I just came across [Company] and ended up spending more time on it than I expected.
[One specific thing that caught their attention — a stat, a product decision, a market insight from the JD or website]

What makes a good hook:

  • A specific number or stat from the company's materials ("only 5% of the market is online")
  • A product decision that shows you understand the domain ("you're building from scratch alongside underwriters, not just distribution")
  • A technical insight from the JD ("improving the data infrastructure for LLM usage, not just the model layer")

What makes a bad hook:

  • Generic: "I love what you're building"
  • Vague: "Your mission resonates with me"
  • Flattering: "You're one of the most exciting companies in the space"

Location Disclosure (if international)

If the candidate is in a different country from the company, disclose it early and casually:

Before you read further, I should mention I'm based in [country]. But if we both
feel there's a strong fit, I'd be open to figuring things out.

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.
