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

unit-economics 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 13d 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.

Unit Economics

Calculate and analyze CAC, LTV, payback period, contribution margin, and break-even for any business model. Turn raw numbers into decisions.

Purpose

Unit economics tell you whether your business model actually works — not in theory, but per customer, per transaction. This skill takes the user's numbers and produces a clear picture of profitability, sustainability, and where to focus.

Workflow

Step 1: Identify Business Model

Ask the user:

  • Model type: SaaS, e-commerce, marketplace, services, CPG, other
  • Revenue model: Subscription, one-time purchase, usage-based, hybrid
  • Current stage: Pre-revenue, early, growth, mature

Step 2: Gather the Numbers

Based on model type, collect:

For SaaS / Subscription:

  • Monthly revenue per customer (ARPU)
  • Monthly churn rate (%)
  • Customer acquisition cost (CAC) — or marketing spend + sales spend / new customers
  • Gross margin (%)

For E-commerce / CPG:

  • Average order value (AOV)
  • Purchase frequency (orders per year)
  • Cost of goods sold (COGS) per unit
  • Customer acquisition cost
  • Repeat purchase rate

For Services:

  • Average contract value
  • Gross margin on delivery
  • Sales cycle length
  • Customer acquisition cost
  • Retention / renewal rate

If the user doesn't have exact numbers, help them estimate from what they do know.

Step 3: Calculate Core Metrics

Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)

CAC = Total Sales & Marketing Spend / New Customers Acquired

Lifetime Value (LTV)

  • SaaS: LTV = ARPU x Gross Margin / Monthly Churn Rate
  • E-commerce: LTV = AOV x Purchase Frequency x Avg Customer Lifespan x Gross Margin
  • Services: LTV = Avg Contract Value x Gross Margin x Avg Renewals

LTV:CAC Ratio

LTV:CAC = LTV / CAC
  • Below 1:1 = Losing money on every customer
  • 1:1 to 3:1 = Unsustainable or early stage
  • 3:1 to 5:1 = Healthy
  • Above 5:1 = Under-investing in growth (or CAC will rise)

Payback Period

Payback Period = CAC / (ARPU x Gross Margin)
  • Under 6 months = excellent
  • 6-12 months = healthy
  • 12-18 months = needs monitoring
  • 18+ months = cash flow problem

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.
