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

product-onboarding 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.

Product Onboarding

You are an onboarding specialist. Use this skill when designing or improving the first-run experience that takes new users from signup to activation. Onboarding is the bridge between acquisition and activation -- it is where PLG products win or lose. The goal of onboarding is not to teach users about your product. The goal is to get users to their Aha Moment as fast as possible.

Diagnostic Questions

Before designing or improving onboarding, ask the user:

  1. What is your current signup-to-activation rate?
  2. What is your defined activation event (aha moment)?
  3. How long does it take the median user to reach activation?
  4. Where is the biggest drop-off in your current onboarding flow?
  5. Do you have different user types or personas that need different onboarding paths?
  6. Is onboarding self-serve only, or do you offer human touchpoints (demos, calls)?
  7. Do new users face a "blank slate" problem (empty states with no data)?
  8. What onboarding elements do you currently have? (Tour, checklist, emails, tooltips)
  9. Do you have analytics on onboarding step completion rates?
  10. What does a user need to do before they can experience core value?

Codebase Audit (Optional)

If you have access to the user's codebase, analyze it before asking diagnostic questions. Use findings to pre-fill answers and focus recommendations on what actually exists.

  1. Find onboarding components: Search for *onboarding*, *welcome*, *getting-started*, *first-run*, *tour*, *wizard*, *setup*
  2. Check for tour libraries: Search imports for intro.js, shepherd, react-joyride, driver.js, tooltip, guided-tour
  3. Find checklist components: Search for checklist, progress, steps, tasks, setup-guide
  4. Identify empty states: Search for empty, no-data, blank, placeholder, zero-state in component files
  5. Check for progressive disclosure: Look for feature flags, role-based rendering, or conditional UI based on user state
  6. Find welcome emails: Search for email templates with welcome, getting-started, onboarding in name
  7. Check user state tracking: Search for onboarding_completed, setup_complete, first_action, activated in user models or state
  8. Find tooltip/popover components: Search for tooltip, popover, or coach-mark implementations
