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

demand-side-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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Demand-Side Sales

Bob Moesta's demand-side approach to sales, product, and innovation — distilled from Demand-Side Sales 101 (2020, w/ Greg Engle), Learning to Build (2022), Job Moves (2024, w/ Ethan Bernstein + Michael Horn), the earlier work with Clayton Christensen culminating in Competing Against Luck (2016), the Re-Wired Group's client work, The Circuit Breaker podcast (w/ Greg Engle), dense podcast appearances including Lenny Rachitsky (2023, 2025), Intercom, Business of Software, and INDUSTRY 2025, plus the canonical JTBD method library at jobstobedone.org (w/ Chris Spiek).

This skill helps you do the thing Moesta spends most of his airtime insisting on: flip from supply-side ("how do we sell better?") to demand-side ("why do people buy?"). The method centers on understanding the forces that cause someone to switch from their current solution to a new one — not features, not demographics, not funnels. Forces, timelines, struggling moments, and the progress the customer is trying to make.

When this skill activates

Use this skill when the user is:

  • Trying to understand why customers buy, switch, churn, or stay — the causal story, not the correlation.
  • Designing or redesigning a sales process around how people actually buy (not how you want to sell).
  • Planning, running, or analyzing Switch Interviews to reconstruct a purchase timeline.
  • Mapping the Four Forces of Progress on a real buying decision or product adoption.
  • Wondering why customers aren't switching to a superior product (usually: Anxiety and Habit are winning).
  • Evaluating whether to add features (which often increases Anxiety instead of Pull).
  • Redesigning marketing, onboarding, or customer success around the buying timeline stages.
  • Trying to identify the real competition (which is rarely who you think — Casper vs. ZzzQuil, not Casper vs. Tempur-Pedic).
  • Running demand-side analysis for a new product launch without existing customers.
  • Applying JTBD to career decisions, hiring, or talent management (Job Moves territory).

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.
