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-customer 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 11d 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 Customer / 客户邮件回复

When to use

  • The dev is replying to a real customer (paying or potential).
  • The reply needs to be polite, firm, and short — not corporate, not groveling.
  • The situation is awkward: refund, dispute, scope creep, deadline push, complaint.

When NOT to use

  • A routine inquiry ("what's the price?") — answer directly, no skill needed.
  • An abusive or harassing message — those need a moderation policy, not a charming reply. Suggest: don't engage; if needed, refund and ban.
  • A legal threat — stop. Don't reply via skill. Suggest the user consult a lawyer first.

Principles

A good solo-founder reply has four properties:

  1. Acknowledge the specific concern (not "I understand your frustration").
  2. State the decision plainly in one sentence, near the top.
  3. Give one reason, no more. (Listing reasons reads as defensive.)
  4. Offer a concrete next step — a workaround, a partial refund, a deadline, a closing line.

Avoid:

  • "I'm sorry you feel that way" — not an apology, reads as dismissive.
  • "Per our policy" — bureaucratic, hides the human behind procedure.
  • Hedging multiple times in one email ("we might be able to possibly consider…").
  • More than ~120 words. If it needs more, it's a phone call or a doc.

Output format

Always produce:

  1. Subject: (one short line, no "Re: Re:")
  2. Body: (≤120 words, plain text, no signature)
  3. Internal note: (one line for the dev — what they should do operationally after sending, e.g. "issue partial refund of $19", "add to email block list")

Worked examples

Example 1: Refund request after 60 days, policy is 30

Customer:

"I bought the annual plan 60 days ago and barely used it. Can I get a refund?"

Output:

Subject: Refund on your annual plan

Body:

Hi ,

Refunds on annual plans are limited to the first 30 days, so a full refund isn't something I can offer here.

What I can do: switch you to month-to-month and refund the unused months as account credit, or process a 50% refund on the remaining time. Either is fine — let me know which you'd prefer.

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.
