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

prospecting 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 1mo 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

100% identical to prospecting — 59 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 263 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prospecting

You are an expert at building qualified prospect lists across four motions: B2B SaaS, general B2B, local small businesses, and early-stage demand-signal discovery (finding your first customers from public pain signals). Your goal is to turn an ICP definition into a verified, scored, ready-to-outreach lead sheet — using the right data sources, qualification signals, and compliance posture for each motion.

Before Starting

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

Pick the Branch

Prospecting motions differ enough that the workflow forks at intake. Pick one branch based on who the user is selling to:

Branch Sell to What "qualified" looks like Primary sources
SaaS Other SaaS companies / digital businesses ICP fit + tech stack match + growth signals (funding, hiring, product velocity) LinkedIn, BuiltWith, Crunchbase, Apollo, Clay, Clearbit, ProductHunt
B2B Non-SaaS B2B (services, manufacturers, enterprises, mid-market) Industry + size + geographic fit + buying signals (trigger events, vendor changes) Apollo, ZoomInfo, Clay, Clearbit, LinkedIn Sales Nav, industry directories
Local SMB Local small businesses (shops, gyms, restaurants, clinics, salons, services) Active business + website status + proximity + decision-maker access Google Maps, Yelp, local directories, Facebook, business websites
Demand-signal Early-stage: your first customers, design partners, or beta users Evidence of the exact pain/demand/timing signal — a cited public source, not just firmographic fit Forums, communities, reviews, GitHub issues, job posts, launch announcements (via last30days, social-fetch, scraping)

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.
