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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00197 | $0.03136 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00098 | $0.01568 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00627 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00314 |
Grade A, and why
marketing-budget-defense 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 12d 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.

Marketing Budget Defense: Making the Financial Case for Marketing Investment
This skill prepares a demand gen or marketing leader for the budget conversation with a CEO, CFO, or board. The goal is not to produce a slide deck. The goal is to walk into that conversation with the right numbers, the right framing, and clear answers to the three or four questions that will determine whether the budget holds or gets cut.
Most marketing leaders lose budget conversations not because marketing is underperforming but because they cannot connect marketing activity to revenue in language that a CFO or CEO recognizes. They present impressions, MQL volume, and campaign metrics. Finance sees a cost center. The frame has to change before the budget conversation can go differently.
HOW TO SET UP THIS SKILL
This skill works best with specific data. Provide as much as possible:
- Current annual or quarterly marketing budget
- Pipeline generated by marketing this quarter or year
- Closed revenue attributed to marketing-sourced deals
- Average deal size and sales cycle length
- LTV:CAC ratio if known
- Payback period on marketing spend if known
- What triggered this conversation (annual planning, budget cut request, performance review, or board presentation)
- What the CEO or CFO has said or asked that you are preparing for
If no data is available, the skill will produce a framework for gathering the right numbers before the conversation.
The Frame Problem
The single biggest mistake marketing leaders make in budget conversations is leading with marketing metrics. Impressions, clicks, MQL volume, email open rates, and content downloads are marketing metrics. They describe activity. Finance does not fund activity. It funds outcomes.
The right frame is this: marketing spend is an investment with a measurable return. The question is not "how much does marketing cost?" The question is "what does this investment return, and is that return better than the alternatives?"
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.
