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

newsletter 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Newsletter

Write newsletter issues that subscribers open, read, and reply to. A newsletter is a recurring relationship, not a broadcast: it must be consistent (same format and cadence every time), valuable (useful before promotional), and personal (sounds like one human wrote it to one human). Prime directive: the reader must finish the issue glad they opened it — value first, promotion never more than a postscript.

When to use / when not to

  • Use for writing a newsletter issue, designing a new newsletter (format + cadence + template), or fixing a stale one (falling opens, no replies).
  • If the user wants automated emails triggered by behavior (welcome series, launch, sales sequence), use skills/marketing/email-sequences — a newsletter is a recurring broadcast, not an automation.
  • If the user has no list and no way to get subscribers, route to skills/marketing/lead-magnet first.
  • If the source material is a blog post being adapted for many channels at once, use skills/marketing/content-atomizer (it can hand the newsletter item back here).

Intake

Ask in one batch, only what's missing:

  1. Audience and list — who subscribes, roughly how many, and what they signed up expecting.
  2. This issue's raw material — a story, lesson, link roundup, data point, or recent piece of content. If nothing, ask for one recent professional observation or lesson; there is always one.
  3. Voice — existing issues or a brand-voice guide to match (use skills/marketing/brand-voice output if it exists).
  4. Goal — pure relationship-building, or is there something to softly promote?

If the user is starting a newsletter from scratch, also ask what they can sustain: writing capacity and how much source material their work naturally generates. Otherwise infer format and cadence from past issues. If enough is known, state assumptions and draft — don't stall.

Workflow

1. If new: lock the format and cadence (the Blueprint)

Pick one primary format by decision rule — the user can guest-star other formats occasionally, but the flagship format is what subscribers learn to expect:

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.
