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

cold-email-templates-34 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Cold Email Templates Library (34 Templates)

Quick reference for cold email templates. For full templates, see reference files below.

Template Categories

Category Count Details
First Touch 23 references/first-touch.md
Follow-Up 4 references/follow-up.md
Re-Engagement 4 references/re-engagement.md

Key Template Principles

  1. Lead with pain not features
  2. Keep qualification simple (deeper on calls)
  3. Personalize to person not just company
  4. Use specific social proof numbers ("47% increase" not "significant improvement")
  5. Soft CTAs work better ("worth a look?" vs "book a call")
  6. Multi-channel coordination (email + LinkedIn + ads)
  7. Humor reduces tension
  8. Timing matters (new role signals peak at days 14-45)
  9. Value-first before asking

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.
