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

email-respond 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

Email Response

Draft a response to an incoming email in Misha's voice.

Variables

notes: [Any specific points to make, things to avoid, or context not visible in the email — optional]

[Paste the email to respond to below the divider]


[PASTE INCOMING EMAIL HERE]


Instructions

Before drafting, read:

  • reference/misha-voice.md — Voice guide
  • context/people.md — Check if sender is listed; load relationship context
  • context/pipeline.md — Check if this relates to an active deal or conversation

Analyze the incoming email:

  • What is the sender's real intent or question?
  • What tone are they using?
  • Is this a decision request, information request, relationship maintenance, or problem?
  • Tactical empathy read: Apply Voss per .claude/rules/voss.md. Surface emotions under the words; label tension/frustration before addressing substance; redirect demands with calibrated questions. Full framework: reference/voss-negotiation.md.

Draft a response that:

  • Addresses the sender's actual intent (not just the surface question)
  • Leads with the most important point
  • Is appropriately brief — never longer than the incoming email unless complexity requires it
  • Closes with a clear next step or acknowledgment

After the draft, provide:

  • Subject line (if replying to a new thread or re-titling)
  • One flag: anything to double-check before sending

NEVER

  • NEVER send the reply. This skill drafts only — outbound send is always human-gated (lethal-trifecta control). The CEO sends or approves explicitly.
  • NEVER fabricate facts or commitments not present in the incoming thread.

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.
