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

growth-hacking-tactics 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 6d 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.

Growth Hacking Tactics

Overview

Growth hacking isn't "one weird trick to 10x your users." It's a systematic approach to finding and scaling the highest-leverage growth levers through rapid experimentation. The mistake: copying tactics without understanding the underlying growth model. A tactic that works for a consumer social app (viral invite loop) will fail for enterprise SaaS (sales motion). This skill covers growth loops, viral mechanics, referral flywheels, PLG hacks, and the experimentation framework to find what works for YOUR product.

When to Use

Trigger phrases: "growth hacking", "growth loops", "viral growth", "growth experiment", "referral flywheel", "growth tactics", "low-cost acquisition", "PLG growth hack", "how to grow faster", "growth model"

Authoritative Foundations

Brian Balfour — Growth Loops vs Funnels

Funnels are linear: acquire → activate → retain → revenue → refer. Loops are circular: the OUTPUT of one cycle becomes the INPUT of the next. Growth loops compound. Funnels don't. Every great growth company has a dominant growth loop.

Sean Ellis — Hacking Growth Process

  1. Analyze: Data. Find the biggest opportunity.
  2. Ideate: Brainstorm experiments. Score with ICE (Impact, Confidence, Ease).
  3. Prioritize: Run highest-ICE experiments first.
  4. Test: Run the experiment. Measure result.
  5. Scale: Kill what failed. Double down on what worked.

Andrew Chen — The Cold Start Problem

Networked products have a "cold start" problem: they're worthless until enough users join. The solution: build an "atomic network" — the smallest possible network where the product provides value. Tinder: one college campus. Slack: one team. Uber: one city.

Growth Models (Pick Your Dominant Loop)

Model How It Works Best For Example
Content Loop Content → traffic → signups → more content Content-driven SaaS, SEO-heavy HubSpot, Ahrefs
Viral Loop User invites → new user → more invites Consumer, social, collaboration tools Slack, Notion, Loom
Sales Loop Outbound → demos → customers → revenue → more SDRs B2B SaaS, enterprise Salesforce, Gong
Product-Led Loop Free product → usage → upgrade → more usage Developer tools, freemium Miro, Figma, Notion
Paid Loop Ads → signups → revenue → reinvest in ads High-margin, high-LTV Any profitable paid channel
Partner Loop Partner → referral → customer → better partner program Marketplace, integration-heavy Shopify, Stripe
Community Loop Community → engagement → product adoption → community growth Developer tools, creator economy Figma, Webflow, Notion

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.
