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

cta-designer 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.

CTA Designer — Permissionless Value Promise (PVP)

The core idea

Most outreach dies at the CTA. "Would you be open to a 30-minute call?" is high friction, seller-centric, and creates a binary lose/lose: the prospect either ignores it or commits to something they don't want yet.

A Permissionless Value Promise (PVP) flips this. The CTA itself delivers standalone value — an insight, a resource, a benchmark, a question — that the prospect finds genuinely useful before buying anything. They reply because they're curious, not because you pressured them.

A good PVP CTA:

  • Gives something useful with no strings attached
  • Doesn't mention your product or pitch anything
  • Implies no obligation ("happy to share if useful")
  • Is specific to their context (their industry, role, trigger, or pain)
  • Requires a simple yes or short reply — not a calendar commitment

Step 1 — Gather context

Before generating CTAs, check the conversation for any existing context:

  • ICP / company type: industry, size, growth stage
  • Persona: role, seniority, their core pain
  • Trigger: recent event (funding, hiring, tech change, job change, etc.)
  • Your offer: what problem you solve and how
  • Channel: email, LinkedIn DM, voice note

If critical context is missing (especially the persona's pain or your offer), ask 1–2 targeted questions. Never generate generic CTAs — specificity is what makes PVPs work.

Step 2 — Generate 5 PVP CTAs

Produce 5 CTAs across different angles. For each, write:

  • The CTA itself (ready to paste into an email/message)
  • Type (see below)
  • Friction (🟢 Low / 🟡 Medium)
  • Why it works (1 sentence)

Aim for at least 3 with 🟢 Low friction. Never propose a "book a call" CTA — that can come after the reply.


CTA Types

1. Insight CTA

You share a specific, public observation about their company or industry and offer to send a deeper analysis.

"I noticed [Company] has been [expanding into X / hiring heavily for Y / doing Z]. Put together a quick breakdown of how similar companies are handling [related pain]. Happy to forward it — useful or not?"

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.
