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

ai-cold-email 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.

AI Cold Email Generator

Generate high-converting cold outreach emails personalized to your prospect. Uses the Observation > Question > Offer framework that consistently outperforms generic templates.

Usage

Provide the following about your prospect:

Field Required Example
Prospect Name Yes "Sarah Chen"
Company Yes "Meridian Logistics"
Industry Yes "Third-party logistics / freight"
Pain Point Yes "Manual load matching wastes 15+ hours/week"
Your Name Yes "Alex Rivera"
Your Company Yes "FleetMind AI"
Your Offer Yes "AI-powered load matching platform"
Prospect's Role Optional "VP of Operations"
Recent Trigger Optional "Just expanded to 3 new warehouses"
Mutual Connection Optional "Met at FreightWaves LIVE"

Output

You will receive 3 email variants plus a 3-touch follow-up sequence.


Step 1: Research & Personalization

Before writing, analyze the inputs and build a prospect profile:

  1. Observation: What specific, verifiable thing can you reference about the prospect or their company? (recent news, job change, company growth, public statement, industry trend affecting them)
  2. Question: What genuine question could you ask that demonstrates you understand their world?
  3. Offer: What specific, low-commitment value can you provide? (not "let's hop on a call" -- something they can use immediately)

Step 2: Generate 3 Email Variants

Variant A: The Short Punch (50-75 words)

Structure:

Subject: [Observation-based, no clickbait, under 6 words]

[First name],

[1 sentence: specific observation about their company/role]

[1 sentence: question that implies you understand their pain]

[1 sentence: concrete offer with zero commitment]

[Signature]

Rules:

  • No "I hope this finds you well"
  • No "I wanted to reach out"
  • No company pitch in the first email
  • Subject line references THEM, not you
  • Total email under 75 words

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.
