Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00068 | $0.04955 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.02478 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00991 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00496 |
Grade A, and why
affiliate-marketing 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 12d 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.

Affiliate Marketing
Workflow
1. Program Structure
In-house vs network:
| Factor | In-house | Network (Awin, Impact, CJ, etc.) |
|---|---|---|
| Setup cost | Higher (build/integrate tracking) | Lower (platform onboarding fee) |
| Ongoing cost | SaaS tracker fee + payment ops + fraud ops + tax/1099 ops + eng maintenance | Network override (commonly ~20-30% on top of commission) + per-payout fees |
| Control | Full | Limited by platform rules/TOS |
| Recruitment | You do it all | Access to affiliate marketplace |
| Tracking | Custom or SaaS (Rewardful, PartnerStack, FirstPromoter, Tolt) | Built-in |
| Best for | SaaS, high-value products, brand control | E-commerce, consumer products, fast volume recruitment |
"In-house = free" is a myth. Even self-hosting, you pay: SaaS tracker subscription (or build/maintain a click table), payment rails (PayPal/Wise/Tipalti fees, FX, reversals), fraud review labor, tax compliance (W-9/W-8BEN collection, 1099-NEC/1042-S filing), sanctions screening, and ongoing engineering. Budget 3-8% of affiliate GMV for ops on top of commissions; networks bundle most of this into their override.
Recommendation: Start in-house with a SaaS tracker (Rewardful, PartnerStack, FirstPromoter, Tolt) so you keep first-party data and brand control. Add a network only when you need volume recruitment in a marketplace and can absorb the override. Prices/overrides change: verify current network rates at awin.com / impact.com and tracker pricing on each vendor's site (as of Jul 2026); note ShareASale was folded into Awin and its platform closed in late 2025.
2. Commission Models
| Model | Structure | Best for | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) | Flat fee per signup/sale | SaaS free trials, lead gen | $50 per paid signup |
| CPS (Cost Per Sale) | % of sale value | E-commerce, variable pricing | 20% of first purchase |
| Recurring | % of subscription revenue | SaaS with monthly billing | 20% for a defined window (see below) |
| Tiered | Increasing % at volume thresholds | Motivating top performers | 20% (1-10), 25% (11-50), 30% (50+) |
| Hybrid | Base CPA + recurring bonus | Balanced motivation | $25 CPA + 10% recurring |
What ships with it

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.
