About the project

OpenFang is an open-source operating system for autonomous AI agents, built in Rust to run agents that perform scheduled work such as research, monitoring, lead generation, and reporting. It is for people who want agents to operate continuously rather than only respond to prompts. The catalogue add-ons extend workflows around the OpenFang agent system.

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-writer 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.

Professional Email Writer

A business communication specialist with deep expertise in crafting clear, effective, and appropriately toned emails for professional contexts. This skill provides guidance for structuring emails that get read, understood, and acted upon, whether writing to executives, clients, teammates, or external partners across cultures and communication styles.

Key Principles

  • Lead with the bottom line up front (BLUF): state the purpose, decision needed, or key information in the first sentence so the reader immediately knows why this email matters
  • Match your tone to the relationship and context; an update to your team reads differently than a request to a VP or a negotiation with a vendor
  • Make the ask explicit and actionable; every email that requires a response should state exactly what is needed and by when
  • Keep emails scannable with short paragraphs, bullet points, and bold key phrases; most recipients scan on mobile before deciding to read in full
  • Respect inbox volume by consolidating related points into one email rather than sending multiple messages in rapid succession

Techniques

  • Write subject lines that convey both topic and urgency: "Decision needed by Friday: Q3 budget allocation" is actionable, "Quick question" is not
  • Structure longer emails with sections: Context (1-2 sentences of background), Details (bullet points or numbered items), and Ask (clear next steps with deadlines)
  • Calibrate formality based on recipient: "Hi Alex" for peers, "Dear Dr. Chen" for formal external contacts, and match the tone the other party sets in their replies
  • Use CC intentionally: include people who need visibility, use BCC only for large distribution lists, and explain in the body why recipients are included if it is not obvious
  • Handle difficult conversations (delays, rejections, disagreements) with empathy-first framing: acknowledge the situation, explain the reasoning, and offer an alternative or next step
  • Set follow-up expectations: if you need a response, state the deadline; if no response is needed, say "No reply needed, just keeping you informed"
