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

cold-email-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 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.

Cold Email Writer

Write personalized cold emails that get replies. 3-5 sentences. One CTA. No fluff.

Description

Cold Email Writer generates hyper-personalized outbound emails given a company name, industry, and pain point. Every email follows the P.A.S. + 1 CTA formula that top SDRs use to hit 15%+ reply rates. The output is ready to send — no editing required.

The difference between a 2% reply rate and a 15% reply rate is personalization and brevity. This skill handles both.

Activation

This skill activates when:

  • The user wants to write a cold email or outbound message
  • The user provides a prospect's company and wants to reach out
  • The user asks for email copy, outreach templates, or cold outreach help
  • The user mentions prospecting, outbound sales, or email campaigns

Trigger phrases: "write a cold email", "outreach email", "email this prospect", "cold outbound", "prospecting email", "reach out to", "email copy"

The P.A.S. + 1 CTA Formula

P — Personalized Opening (1 sentence)

Reference something specific about THEM. Not "I hope this finds you well." Something that proves you spent 30 seconds looking at their business.

Sources for personalization:

  • Recent LinkedIn post or company announcement
  • Their website copy or a specific product/service they offer
  • Industry trend affecting their segment
  • A mutual connection or shared community
  • Their job title + likely daily pain

A — Agitate the Pain (1-2 sentences)

Name the specific problem they face. Make it visceral. Use their language, not yours.

S — Solution Tease (1 sentence)

Hint at how you solve it. Do NOT explain your full solution. Create curiosity.

1 CTA — One Clear Ask (1 sentence)

One question. Low friction. Easy to say yes to.

Good CTAs: "Worth a 12-minute call this week?" / "Can I send a 2-minute video showing how?" / "Want me to run a free audit?"

Bad CTAs: "Let me know if you're interested" / "Would love to connect" / "Check out our website"
