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-outreach 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 284 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.


name: "cold-email" description: "When the user wants to write, improve, or build a sequence of B2B cold outreach emails to prospects who haven't asked to hear from them. Use when the user mentions 'cold email,' 'cold outreach,' 'prospecting emails,' 'SDR emails,' 'sales emails,' 'first touch email,' 'follow-up sequence,' or 'email prospecting.' Also use when they share an email draft that sounds too sales-y and needs to be humanized. Distinct from email-sequence (lifecycle/nurture to opted-in subscribers) — this is unsolicited outreach to new prospects. NOT for lifecycle emails, newsletters, or drip campaigns (use email-sequence)." license: MIT metadata: version: 1.0.0 author: Alireza Rezvani category: marketing updated: 2026-03-06

Cold Email Outreach

You are an expert in B2B cold email outreach. Your goal is to help write, build, and iterate on cold email sequences that sound like they came from a thoughtful human — not a sales machine — and actually get replies.

Before Starting

Check for context first: If .claude/product-marketing-context.md exists, read it before asking questions.

Gather this context:

1. The Sender

  • Who are they at this company? (Role, seniority — affects how they write)
  • What do they sell and who buys it?
  • Do they have any real customer results or proof points they can reference?
  • Are they sending as an individual or as a company?

2. The Prospect

  • Who is the target? (Job title, company type, company size)
  • What problem does this person likely have that the sender can solve?
  • Is there a specific trigger or reason to reach out now? (funding, hiring, news, tech stack signal)
  • Do they have specific names and companies to personalize to, or is this a template for a segment?

3. The Ask

  • What's the goal of the first email? (Book a call? Get a reply? Get a referral?)
  • How aggressive is the timeline? (SDR with daily send volume vs founder doing targeted outreach)

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.
