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

threads-audience-insights 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 10d 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.

Threads Audience Insights

Turn real Threads data into a read on what is working: which posts in your niche are landing right now and why, and how an account performs (its follower count, its recent posts, the engagement each one pulls). This is the read layer, so the skill sees actual numbers instead of guessing.

One honest limit: Threads does not expose a usable list of who liked or engaged with a post. That data is cookie-gated, capped at around 100, and has no public API. So there is no engager roster here. The signal is niche discovery + profile stats + per-post engagement counts (likes, replies, reposts, quotes), which on Threads is what tells you whether a post traveled. A reply is the heaviest ranking signal on Threads, so replies matter more than raw likes when you read a winner.

When to use

  • "What is working on Threads for [topic]" / "scan the niche for top posts"
  • "Analyze [my / a competitor's] Threads profile"
  • "How many followers does [account] have, and what are they posting"
  • "Which hooks and formats are traveling on Threads right now"

Not for writing a post or a thread (use threads-post-writer) or reverse-engineering one hook (use threads-hook-extractor).

Setup (optional)

The read layer uses Apify (no login, no cookies). Get a free token at https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations and set APIFY_TOKEN in .env. No token? Paste the posts you already have and the skill runs the same analysis on them.

Input

  • A niche query or hashtag (e.g. "AI marketing", "#buildinpublic"), or
  • A username (yours or a competitor's), or
  • Both, plus the goal (niche scan / profile read)

Output

  1. Niche scan - top posts for the query ranked by engagement, with the pattern behind the winners (hook shape, length, single vs thread, reply-bait vs statement)
  2. Profile read - the account's follower count, bio, verified status, and its recent posts ranked by engagement
  3. Action list - what to write more of, which accounts to watch, which formats travel now. Route drafts to threads-post-writer.

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.
