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-drafter 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 4d 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.

Email Drafter

Overview

This skill produces clear, purposeful emails calibrated to the right tone, length, and structure for the situation—whether you're reaching out cold to a potential partner, nudging a slow-to-respond client, or delivering difficult feedback to a colleague. It applies proven subject line formulas, places calls to action where they land hardest, and keeps emails as short as they need to be and no shorter. The goal is emails that get opened, read, and acted on.

When to Use

  • Cold outreach to prospects, journalists, collaborators, or employers
  • Follow-up emails after meetings, proposals, or no-reply situations
  • Internal communication: project updates, feedback, requests
  • Client-facing messages: onboarding, status updates, difficult news
  • Professional introduction or networking emails
  • Declining requests or delivering bad news diplomatically
  • Responding to complaints or sensitive situations

When NOT to Use

  • Bulk email marketing sequences (use copywriter skill for campaign copy)
  • Legal notices, contracts, or compliance communications requiring specific phrasing
  • Transactional system emails (order confirmations, password resets)
  • Personal/casual texts or messages to close friends

Quick Reference

Task Approach
Subject line Keep under 50 chars; use personalization, numbers, or questions
Formal tone Full sentences, no contractions, "Dear [Name]", sign with full name
Casual tone Contractions ok, first name greeting, conversational sign-off
Length Cold email: 75–125 words; follow-up: 50–75 words; detailed request: up to 200 words
CTA One CTA per email; make it specific and low-friction
Reply email Acknowledge their last point before making your ask
Opener Never start with "I hope this finds you well"

Instructions

  1. Clarify the email's single purpose. Every email should do exactly one thing: make an ask, share information, confirm something, or respond to something. If you have two asks, send two emails. Identify: who is the recipient, what is the relationship, and what is the single desired outcome?

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.
