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

write-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 11d 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.

write-outreach

Compose a short outreach message that earns a reply. Hard rules: see ../_shared/RULES.md — non-negotiable. Use the Communication verbs in ../tailor-resume/reference/action-verbs.md.

Inputs

  1. Profile: read profile/master-profile.md (esp. Notes / voice, target.tracks, and the context: block for direction only — never echo).
  2. Recipient: { name, role, company }. Optional: known mutual, a recent post/work they did, prior touch.
  3. Platform: linkedin (≤ 120 words, no subject) or email (≤ 180 words, with subject).
  4. Goal: intro (be known) · referral (ask for an internal referral) · info (informational chat) · follow-up (post-application / post-interview / post-event).

If recipient / platform / goal is missing, ask once, batched.

Method

  1. Region note. Read the target region pack — outreach norms differ slightly (US: direct; IN: referrals matter more, lead with mutuals/track when possible).

  2. Pick the hook. One verifiable, profile-grounded fact connecting candidate → company / role / recipient. Examples that work: same OSS project, alum overlap, identifiable recent work overlap, shared track. Examples that don't: generic "I admire your mission", company-name flattery in the opener.

  3. One CTA only. Schedule 15 min · share a referral · answer a specific question · introduce a third party. No multi-CTA messages — they get ignored.

  4. Draft.

    • LinkedIn — ≤ 120 words. No "Dear", no "Hope this finds you well." Open with the hook in ≤ 1 sentence. One CTA. Sign with first name.
    • Email — ≤ 180 words. Subject = 4–8 specific words ("Quick question on Mercury API roadmap", not "Quick question"). Body = 2 short paragraphs (hook+credential → CTA). Sign with full name + 1-line current credential.
  5. Self-check against the anti-patterns and rubric before output.

Output

  • Console: the message (and subject if email).
  • Write outreach/<company-slug>-<role-slug>-<platform>.md (create outreach/ if needed). Include the subject as the H1 for email.
  • 2-line rationale: what hook you chose · what CTA you set. Helps the user judge before sending.
  • Region tip when relevant (e.g., IN: "open with the mutual / IIT-batch line — converts far harder than the cold version").

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.
