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

fundraising-email 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.

Fundraising Email

When to Use

  • The founder needs to write a cold outreach email to an investor.
  • The founder wants to draft a warm intro request (a "forwardable email").
  • The founder needs a follow-up after an investor meeting.
  • The founder is writing a monthly investor update.
  • The founder wants to send a thank-you or round-closing notification.

Context Required

From startup-context: company one-liner, stage, key traction metrics, fundraising status, and any notable social proof (investors, customers, press).

From the user: email type, recipient (investor name and firm), prior relationship context, and desired outcome (meeting, intro, materials review).

Workflow

  1. Read startup context — Pull the company narrative, metrics, and fundraising details from .agents/startup-context.md.
  2. Determine email type — Classify as one of the five types below. Each has different structure, tone, and length.
  3. Draft the email — Follow the type-specific template. Keep it short — investors scan, they don't read.
  4. Add personalization — Include at least one specific reference to why this investor is a fit (thesis, portfolio company, blog post). Generic emails get ignored.
  5. Review against principles — Check the draft against the quality checklist. Trim aggressively.
  6. Deliver the final draft — Output subject line and email body, ready to copy-paste.

Output Format

**To:** [Investor Name]
**Subject:** [Subject line]

[Email body]

For investor updates, output a longer structured email with sections (see type 4 below).

Frameworks & Best Practices

The Five Email Types

1. Cold Outreach

Goal: Get a 30-minute meeting. Length: 5-7 sentences, under 150 words.

  • Line 1: Why this investor specifically (1 sentence).
  • Lines 2-3: What you do and for whom (no jargon).
  • Lines 4-5: Strongest traction proof point — one number that makes them lean in.
  • Line 6: Specific, low-commitment ask ("Would you have 30 minutes this week or next?").
  • No attachments on first email. Subject line formula: [Specific hook] — [Company Name] (e.g., "$40K MRR in 6 months, AI contract review — Lexara").

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.
