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

advisor-recruitment 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check-output.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Advisor Recruitment

Overview

Most startup advisors are ornamental — they take 0.25% equity, attend zero meetings, and provide zero value. The mistake: recruiting advisors for logos instead of leverage. Great advisors unlock customers, candidates, investors, and strategic decisions. This skill covers identifying who you need, structuring the relationship, compensating fairly, and extracting maximum value.

Authoritative Foundations

  • First Round Review — High-Impact Advisory Relationships — High-Impact Advisory Relationships

When to Use

Trigger phrases: "advisor recruitment", "advisory board", "advisor equity", "how to find advisors", "advisor agreement", "compensating advisors", "leveraging advisors", "advisor introductions", "should I give equity to advisor"

Who Makes a Great Advisor

4 advisor archetypes — you need at least 2:

  1. The Customer Door-Opener: VP-level or above at your target accounts. Unlocks enterprise deals that would take 6 months of cold outreach. Value: $100K-500K+ in pipeline per year.

  2. The Technical Authority: CTO/VP Eng at a respected company. Validates your tech approach, helps recruit engineers, joins customer calls for credibility. Value: recruiting leverage + technical credibility.

  3. The GTM Sage: Former CRO/VP Sales who's scaled from $1M to $50M+ ARR. Coaches you and your sales team, pressure-tests GTM strategy, makes candidate intros. Value: prevents expensive GTM mistakes ($100K+ in avoided bad hires).

  4. The Investor Connector: Well-networked founder or executive who knows every relevant VC partner personally. Warms introductions, preps you for meetings, vouches for your credibility. Value: 6-12 weeks faster fundraise.

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.
