What is connections-optimizer?

A network-cleanup and outreach assistant for X and LinkedIn. It reviews who you follow or are connected to, suggests changes, finds warm paths to people, and drafts messages in your usual voice.

Use it to clean up X following lists, assess LinkedIn connections, find people who can provide a warm introduction, and draft messages for Apple Mail, X direct messages, or LinkedIn.

It helps when your social networks no longer match your current work or priorities. Review queues let you decide what to remove before anything is changed, while recommendations reduce guesswork about who to follow or contact.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00064	$0.01202
Opus 5	$0.00032	$0.00601
Sonnet 5	$0.00013	$0.00240
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00120

Security

Grade A, and why

connections-optimizer 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 5d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

Connections Optimizer

Reorganize the user's network instead of treating outbound as a one-way prospecting list.

This skill handles:

X following cleanup and expansion
LinkedIn follow and connection analysis
review-first prune queues
add and follow recommendations
warm-path identification
Apple Mail, X DM, and LinkedIn draft generation in the user's real voice

When to Activate

the user wants to prune their X following
the user wants to rebalance who they follow or stay connected to
the user says "clean up my network", "who should I unfollow", "who should I follow", "who should I reconnect with"
outreach quality depends on network structure, not just cold list generation

Required Inputs

Collect or infer:

current priorities and active work
target roles, industries, geos, or ecosystems
platform selection: X, LinkedIn, or both
do-not-touch list
mode: light-pass, default, or aggressive

If the user does not specify a mode, use default.

Tool Requirements

Preferred

x-api for X graph inspection and recent activity
lead-intelligence for target discovery and warm-path ranking
social-graph-ranker when the user wants bridge value scored independently of the broader lead workflow
Exa / deep research for person and company enrichment
brand-voice before drafting outbound

Fallbacks

browser control for LinkedIn analysis and drafting
browser control for X if API coverage is constrained
Apple Mail or Mail.app drafting via desktop automation when email is the right channel

Safety Defaults

default is review-first, never blind auto-pruning
X: prune only accounts the user follows, never followers
LinkedIn: treat 1st-degree connection removal as manual-review-first
do not auto-send DMs, invites, or emails
emit a ranked action plan and drafts before any apply step

Platform Rules

X

mutuals are stickier than one-way follows
non-follow-backs can be pruned more aggressively
heavily inactive or disappeared accounts should surface quickly
engagement, signal quality, and bridge value matter more than raw follower count

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.
