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-deliverability 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 9d 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 Deliverability

Get email into inboxes, not spam folders. Set up authentication. Monitor reputation. Diagnose problems before they hurt the business.


When to use

  • Setting up email for a new domain
  • A meaningful percentage of email is going to spam
  • Customers report they're not receiving emails
  • Setting up DMARC, SPF, or DKIM
  • Hardening against domain spoofing
  • Migrating email service providers
  • Sender reputation has dropped
  • Pre-launch audit before sending volume increases

When NOT to use

  • Writing the email content itself (use email-sequences)
  • Designing the email program strategy (use email-sequences)
  • DNS records in general (use domain-strategy)
  • Outbound spam coming FROM your account (different problem; investigate compromised credentials)

Required inputs

  • The sending domain(s)
  • The email service provider (ESP, transactional service, mail server)
  • Current DNS records (or access to them)
  • Email volume (transactional vs marketing, daily volume)
  • Current deliverability state (if known: bounce rate, spam complaints)

The framework: 3 pillars

Email deliverability rests on three pillars. Weakness in any one limits the others.

Pillar 1: Authentication

Mailbox providers verify email is actually from who it claims to be from. Three records.

SPF (Sender Policy Framework)

Lists which servers are authorized to send mail for the domain. Published as a TXT record at the apex.

v=spf1 include:_spf.mailprovider.com -all
  • include: adds another sender's authorized list
  • -all (hard fail): mail from unlisted senders fails authentication
  • ~all (soft fail): unlisted senders are suspicious but pass; useful during rollout
  • +all: never use; allows anyone to send

Only one SPF record per domain. Multiple SPF records break SPF entirely. Combine senders into a single record.

SPF has a 10-DNS-lookup limit. Each include: may use multiple lookups. Hit the limit and SPF stops working. Watch this carefully.

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.
