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

small-team-management 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.

Small Team Management: People Skills for the Practitioner Who Came Up Through the Function

This skill addresses the people management challenges of a Director who built their career in demand gen, RevOps, or marketing operations and now manages a small team of two to six people. Most Directors in this position learned their function deeply but learned management on the job. The result is a leader who is technically excellent and managerially uneven, not because they are not capable, but because no one taught them the specific skills that make a small team work.

The problems this skill addresses are different from HR problems. HR manages processes, documentation, and legal compliance. This skill manages the actual human dynamics of a small team: how to have the feedback conversation that changes behavior, how to identify the person who is quietly underperforming before it becomes a crisis, how to run a one-on-one that is worth the time on both sides, and how to make the call on letting someone go without doing it wrong.


HOW TO SET UP THIS SKILL

Provide:

  • Team size and structure: how many direct reports, what their roles are
  • The specific situation: a performance issue, a feedback conversation you are preparing for, a one-on-one that is not working, or a team dynamic problem
  • How long the person has been on the team and in the role
  • What you have already tried
  • Whether HR has been involved or needs to be

The One-on-One That Actually Works

Most one-on-ones in marketing and RevOps functions are status updates. The manager asks what is happening, the direct report gives a summary of their week, and nothing changes as a result of the conversation. That is a waste of thirty minutes for both people.

A one-on-one that functions well accomplishes three things the status update does not: it surfaces problems before they become visible to leadership, it gives the direct report a space to raise things they would not raise in a team meeting, and it builds the working relationship that makes feedback land when it needs to.
