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

founder-sales 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 13d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Founder Sales

Scope

Covers

  • Founder-led sales for early-stage products (typically pre-seed → Series A)
  • Getting initial design partners / first customers (incl. first 10–30)
  • Outbound + warm intro outreach design (not high-scale automation)
  • Diagnostic discovery (problem-first; demo later)
  • Decision enablement (your #1 competitor is often “no decision”)
  • Closing-to-activation (white-glove onboarding to prevent “yes → silence”)
  • Building a simple, repeatable learning loop (message → calls → iteration)

When to use

  • “Help me get my first customers / first 10 customers.”
  • “Create a founder-led sales playbook.”
  • “Write a discovery call script (diagnostic, no demo).”
  • “Create an outreach sequence for my ICP.”
  • “Prospects go dark / end in no decision—help me close with a clear next step.”
  • “We close deals but onboarding stalls—create an activation/implementation plan.”

When NOT to use

  • You need to define the product, ICP, or positioning from scratch (do that first; then return here)
  • You’re scaling a full sales org (SDRs, AEs, quotas, forecasting, territories) rather than founder-led learning -> use building-sales-team
  • You’re running a complex enterprise deal with a buying committee, procurement, and security reviews -> use enterprise-sales
  • You need a lead qualification or scoring framework (MQL/SQL definitions, handoff criteria) -> use sales-qualification
  • You have self-serve PLG usage and want to layer a sales-assist motion on top -> use product-led-sales
  • You want scraped lead lists, spammy outreach, or anything deceptive/manipulative
  • You need legal/privacy/security advice or contract language (coordinate with qualified experts)

Inputs

Minimum required

  • Product: what it does, for whom, and the core “pain → outcome”
  • ICP hypothesis: target roles + company type (and who pays vs who uses)
  • Stage + goal: “first X customers” and timeframe (e.g., 10 customers in 8 weeks)
  • Offer: pricing hypothesis (or pilot structure) + what “success” looks like in 30 days
  • Proof: founder credibility and 1–3 proof points (results, prior work, early users)
  • Constraints: founder time per week + preferred channels (warm intros, email, LinkedIn, communities)

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
