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

proposal-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 6d 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.

Client Proposal Writer

Produces proposals for service businesses — web development, consulting, trades, professional services, creative agencies. The goal is a document that wins the work by showing you understood the problem, have a clear plan, and are easy to work with.

Before You Start

Gather these inputs. Ask for anything missing:

  1. Client name and business — who is this for, what do they do
  2. What they asked for — the brief, the problem, the conversation summary
  3. What you are proposing — your recommended solution at a high level
  4. Pricing — your numbers, or ask for guidance on range
  5. Timeline — how long, any fixed deadlines
  6. Tone — match the client relationship (new vs existing, corporate vs casual, local tradie vs enterprise)

If the user has notes from a discovery call or email thread, use those to write the "project understanding" section in the client's own language.


Proposal Structure

Present sections in this order. Every section earns its place — cut any that do not apply.

1. Project Understanding

This is the most important section. It proves you listened. Restate the client's problem in their words, not yours. Show you understand what they are trying to achieve, not just what they asked you to build.

Too corporate:

We understand that your organisation is seeking to leverage digital transformation to enhance customer engagement across multiple touchpoints and drive sustainable growth through an integrated online presence.

Right tone:

You have been running the business for 12 years on word-of-mouth alone, and it has worked — you are booked out most weeks. The problem is that when someone searches "plumber Newcastle" you do not show up, and you are losing jobs to competitors with half your experience. You want a website that shows up in local search and makes it easy for people to call or book online.

Rules for this section:

  • Use the client's language, not industry jargon
  • Reference specific details from the conversation ("you mentioned", "as we discussed")
  • State the business problem, not just the technical requirement
  • Keep it to 2-3 short paragraphs

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.
