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

media-pr-outreach 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 9d 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 — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Applies to any media or PR outreach to a journalist for coverage. Produces a short pitch anchored to the reporter's recent work, weighted toward their readers, and closed on a specific give and one clear ask.

Most cold pitches to reporters fail the same three ways: they lead with the company, they are not anchored to anything the reporter actually wrote, and they open with "happy to be a source" and give no reason to reply. This skill fixes all three, then routes the draft through a review gate before it sends.

The four pitch types

Pick the type before drafting - each has a different structure and length, detailed in references/pitch-types.md.

  • First contact - get on the reporter's radar before there is news. No pitch, no ask beyond "useful to be a resource".
  • News pitch - a specific announcement worth their readers' attention.
  • Byline pitch - a contributed article from an exec, backed by a real existing point of view.
  • Reactive pitch - a story just broke on the beat and there is a fast, specific expert take to offer. Speed is the whole point.

The play

  1. Qualify the reporter against a recent, on-beat byline. Find a specific piece they published recently that the company can genuinely comment on, and confirm it is actually recent at the source - a contact list goes stale, and a byline from last quarter is not an anchor. Record the anchor's title, date, and link. No live anchor means the reporter is not ready for first contact or a pitch yet. (A reactive pitch is the exception: its anchor is the story that just broke, so speed replaces the byline check.)
  2. Pick the type and draft to its structure. Use the matching structure from references/pitch-types.md. Keep it short - first contact under five sentences, a news pitch under 150 words, a reactive pitch under 100.
  3. Lead with their readers, not the company. Open on the news value or the beat. One line of company relevance, not three. The anchor rule, the them:us ratio, and the give-plus-ask close - the three levers that decide reply rate - are worked through with examples in references/anchor-ratio-and-close.md.
  4. Run the copy pass. Strip AI tells, then add enough plain human voice that it reads as one person emailing another, not a template. No jargon, no "circling back", no press-release voice.
  5. Clear the review gate. Before it sends, one independent read confirms: anchored (to the reporter's recent byline, or for a reactive pitch to the breaking story), passes the them:us ratio, closes on a real give-plus-ask (first contact excepted - it makes no ask), and reads clean. One revision round.
  6. Human approves, then send, log, and follow up once. A person reviews and approves the final email and sends it from the right inbox - nothing goes out automatically. Log the reporter, outlet, date, type, and anchor. Follow up once after five to seven business days, one sentence, no pressure. Log every response, including a decline - a "not now" is a relationship.
