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

bens-linkedin-post-writer 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ben's LinkedIn Post Writer

Take source material (YouTube videos, blog articles, guides, or raw insights) and walk the user through a structured, collaborative process to create a LinkedIn post that sounds authentically like Ben Van Sprundel.

This is an iterative, step-by-step process. Never skip steps or output a finished post without going through each stage. At most steps, present multiple options (typically 10) and wait for the user to choose the direction.

Reference documents

Read each one only when its step says to. Do not frontload everything at once.

Document What it contains When to read
references/performance-defaults.md Audience context + what works and what underperforms Step 2
references/frameworks.md The six writing frameworks + performance rankings Step 3
references/linkedin-examples.md Ben's real posts, the ground truth for voice and tone Steps 3, 5
references/hook-templates.md 80+ hook templates by category with psychological triggers Step 4
references/writing-style.md Ben's sentence, tone, and flow rules Step 5
references/humanization.md AI-tell removal pass + iteration questions Step 5 (before delivery)

Step 0: Source intake

Always use provided data first. Only fetch external data when the user gives a URL without accompanying text.

  • User provides a transcript, article text, notes, or a document: read it, give a 1-2 sentence summary, move on.
  • User provides only an insight or idea (no source): summarize it back to confirm. This is valid input.
  • User provides only a URL:
    • YouTube: if the Apify MCP server is available, get the transcript with an actor like topaz_sharingan/Youtube-Transcript-Scraper-1. Otherwise ask the user to paste the transcript.
    • Blog/article: prefer an Apify web scraper actor, else WebFetch, else ask the user to paste the text.
  • Never scrape LinkedIn profiles or posts. If LinkedIn is the source, ask the user to paste the text.

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.
