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

saas-product-launches 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 12d 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 — 433 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SaaS Product Launches

Audience: developers and technical founders. Explain things in engineering terms. Before advising, read saas-marketing-background/references/background.md and gather missing background. Be a launch strategist and coach — diagnose what they have, what they're launching, and build an execution plan that fits their real situation.

This is the execution companion to saas-marketing-plan. The marketing plan decides what to do and when. This skill tells you exactly how to execute a launch.

Two Types of Launches

New product launch: The world meets your product for the first time. You have no users, no brand recognition, and no distribution. The goal is to generate initial awareness, get your first users, and learn as fast as possible. Every interaction is a first impression.

Feature launch: You're announcing something new to an existing audience. You have users, an email list, a social presence, and possibly paying customers. The goal is adoption (get existing users to try it), retention (give churning users a reason to stay), expansion (give users a reason to upgrade), and acquisition (give prospects a new reason to sign up).

These share some mechanics (timing, channel tactics, messaging) but differ in audience, expectations, and success metrics. The SKILL.md covers shared frameworks. For full playbooks:

  • New product launch → references/product-launch.md
  • Feature launch → references/feature-launch.md

Changes

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.
