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

research-post 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 13d 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 — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Insaight — Post Research

Turn a single LinkedIn post into a map of the people around it. The post is usually the least interesting part: the comment thread is where prospects self-identify — describing their own pain in their own words, naming the tools they already pay for, arguing with the author. Read the thread as a lead list, not as a conversation.

Shared conventions (all Insaight skills):

  • Call insaight:get_config() once per session for the user's Notion pages and company name/slug. If it reports unconfigured: true, ask the user to edit the file at the returned path before saving to Notion.
  • Read cheaply: list_accounts → list_posts (slim index) → get_posts on the few URNs worth reading (max 20 per call). list_people / list_comments are free; the scrape_* tools call Apify and cost money — only scrape when data is missing or stale.
  • Engagement benchmarks (adjust for the niche): < 10 likes low, 10–40 normal, 40+ high signal — read those in full.

Workflow

Step 1 — Get the post URL

Either form works:

  • https://www.linkedin.com/posts/AUTHOR_SLUG-activity-ID-TOKEN
  • https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:ID

If the user only described the post, ask for the URL — comment scraping is keyed on it, and there is no reliable way to search your way back to a specific post from a description.

Step 2 — Load the post itself

Check what is already stored before spending anything:

insaight:list_posts(account="author-slug")

If the post isn't tracked, scrape the author. This stores their whole recent feed, so any later work on the same author is free:

insaight:scrape_profile(url="author profile or company page URL", max_posts=30)

Then read the full text:

insaight:get_posts(urns=["urn:li:activity:..."])

Read the post before the comments. The same remark ("we've been fighting this for months") means something different under a hiring announcement than under a product launch, and you can only grade the comments against what prompted them.

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.
