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

cold-outreach 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.

Cold Outreach

Cold email sequences, LinkedIn DMs, and personalized outreach that get replies. Structured around relevance, brevity, and clear value.

Purpose

Cold outreach fails when it's generic, long, or self-centered. This skill generates outreach that's short, specific to the recipient, and focused on their problem — not your product.

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Context

Collect from the user:

  • What you sell: Product/service in one sentence
  • Who you're targeting: Title, company size, industry
  • Their likely pain: The problem they probably have right now
  • Your proof: Results you've gotten for similar companies/people
  • Channel: Email, LinkedIn DM, or both
  • Sequence length: Single touch or multi-step (recommend 3-5 emails)

Step 2: Research the Recipient (if specific)

If targeting a specific person/company:

  • Reference something specific (recent post, company news, job listing, product launch)
  • Connect it to the pain your product solves
  • Never fake personalization — if you can't find something real, use industry-level relevance

Step 3: Write the Sequence

Email 1: The Opener (Day 1)

  • Subject line: Short, lowercase, curiosity or relevance-driven
  • Line 1: Observation about them (not about you)
  • Line 2-3: Connect to a problem they likely have
  • Line 4: What you do and one proof point
  • Line 5: Soft CTA (question, not demand)
  • Total: 4-6 sentences max

Email 2: The Value Add (Day 3)

  • Provide something useful — a quick insight, stat, or idea
  • Don't pitch. Just demonstrate you understand their world.
  • End with "Thought this might be relevant. Worth a quick chat?"

Email 3: The Case Study (Day 6)

  • "We helped [similar company] achieve [specific result] in [timeframe]"
  • One paragraph, one result, one CTA
  • "Would something like this be useful for [their company]?"

Email 4: The Breakup (Day 10)

  • Short and honest: "I'll stop reaching out, but wanted to leave this here"
  • Restate the value one final time
  • "If timing is ever right, here's my calendar: [link]"
