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

suede-referrals 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.

Suede Referral & Affiliate Programs

Suede Referrals designs measurable customer, affiliate, and partner loops from incentive economics through attribution and fraud controls. It separates modeled loop performance from observed results and keeps activation and payouts behind approval.

Before Starting

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

Gather this context (ask if not provided):

1. Program Type

  • Customer referral program, affiliate program, or both?
  • B2B or B2C?
  • What's the average customer LTV?
  • What's your current CAC from other channels?

2. Current State

  • Existing referral/affiliate program?
  • Current referral rate (% who refer)?
  • What incentives have you tried?

3. Product Fit

  • Is your product shareable?
  • Does it have network effects?
  • Do customers naturally talk about it?

4. Resources

  • Tools/platforms you use or consider?
  • Budget for referral incentives?

Referral vs. Affiliate

Customer Referral Programs

Best for:

  • Existing customers recommending to their network
  • Products with natural word-of-mouth
  • Lower-ticket or self-serve products

Characteristics:

  • Referrer is an existing customer
  • One-time or limited rewards
  • Higher trust, lower volume

Affiliate Programs

Best for:

  • Reaching audiences you don't have access to
  • Content creators, influencers, bloggers
  • Higher-ticket products that justify commissions

Characteristics:

  • Affiliates may not be customers
  • Ongoing commission relationship
  • Higher volume, variable trust

Referral Program Design

The Referral Loop

Trigger Moment → Share Action → Convert Referred → Reward → (Loop)

Step 1: Identify Trigger Moments

High-intent moments:

  • Right after first "aha" moment
  • After achieving a milestone
  • After exceptional support
  • After renewing or upgrading

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.
