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

developer-gtm 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 8d 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.

Developer GTM (Selling to Developers)

Overview

Developer go-to-market fails when teams run a generic B2B playbook at a technical buyer: gated whitepapers, "request a demo" walls, cold SDR sequences, and pricing hidden behind a sales call. Developers evaluate by building, not by sitting through pitches — and they route around anything that feels like marketing. This skill encodes the motion used by developer-first companies (Vercel, Stripe, Twilio): earn trust by helping developers ship, let the product and docs do the selling, then bring sales in to enable the champion and close the economic buyer — never to pitch the developer.

The mistake this prevents: treating developers as leads to be worked instead of builders to be unblocked, and confusing bottom-up adoption (the developer) with the top-down purchase (the economic buyer).

When to Use

  • "How do we sell to developers without annoying them?"
  • "Design GTM for our API / dev tool / infrastructure product"
  • "Build a developer marketing or DevRel function"
  • "Open-source flywheel — how do we monetize it like Next.js → Vercel?"
  • "Set up a self-serve free tier that feeds enterprise sales"
  • "Our SDRs are cold-calling developers and it's backfiring"
  • "When should sales engage a bottom-up account?"

Authoritative Foundations

  • Guillermo Rauch (Vercel founder/CEO, creator of Next.js). Vercel's wedge is developer experience: the open-source framework (Next.js) is free and self-hostable, and "framework-defined infrastructure" makes deploying to Vercel the path of least resistance. Self-serve (Hobby/Pro) drives adoption; enterprise sales arrives later because viral framework usage pulls it in. On the WorkOS podcast Rauch frames both DX and enterprise as priorities — developers are the advocates inside enterprise deals. Full case → references/vercel-developer-selling.md.
  • James Allgrove (Stripe). "How Stripe Built a Sales Organization to Successfully Sell to Developers": instant self-serve signup and API keys, no forced contract or sales call, "build with them, not talk at them," and a sales job that unblocks developers and helps them make the internal case.
  • Adam DuVander (EveryDeveloper) — Developer Marketing Does Not Exist. Marketing to developers should be invisible: education over promotion, specific not generic, with docs, tutorials, guides, open source, and tools as the marketing surface. Never waste a developer's time.
  • Lee Robinson (formerly VP of Developer Experience at Vercel, 2020–2025; now VP of Developer Education at Jesse). DX as community + education + docs; templates and learning content as the top of the funnel.
  • Wes Bush (ProductLed) / Elena Verna (Reforge). PQL signals and the product-led + sales-assist hybrid that routes self-serve usage into sales at the right moment (cross-reference plg-strategy).

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.
