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

newsletter-format 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.

What This Skill Does

Walks the user through the $10,000 Newsletter Format — a proven 8-step system for building an analysis-style newsletter that positions you as the go-to expert in your niche and consistently attracts high-ticket clients.

This framework works even with:

  • A small list (under 1,000 subscribers)
  • No direct promotion of services
  • Inconsistent publishing history

The 8 Steps:

  1. Choose Your Signature Asset
  2. Create Your Breakdown Framework
  3. Create Your Newsletter Value Proposition
  4. Name Your Newsletter
  5. Find Examples to Analyze
  6. Create Your Analysis Email Template
  7. Write Your Weekly Newsletter
  8. Build Your Content Calendar & Systems

Before Starting — Collect These Inputs

Ask the user for these 3 things upfront before running any step:

  1. Type of service provider — What do they do? (e.g. copywriter, designer, coach, consultant)
  2. Ideal client — Who do they want to attract with this newsletter?
  3. Main deliverables — What are the 2-4 main assets/outputs they create for clients?

Step 1: Choose Your Signature Asset (~10-15 min)

The foundation of the entire newsletter. The right asset makes content creation easy, positions them as the expert, and attracts exactly the clients they want.

Run this prompt with their inputs filled in:

Context:

I'm implementing the $10,000 Newsletter Format, which involves writing weekly newsletters that analyze examples of successful assets in my niche.

The goal is to demonstrate my expertise and attract high-ticket clients by:
- Breaking down what works and why
- Identifying potential improvements and explaining why they matter
- Showing deep understanding of my craft through detailed analysis
- Building authority without directly promoting my services

About me: I am a [TYPE OF SERVICE PROVIDER] who wants to identify the best type of asset to analyze in my newsletter. My target clients are [IDEAL CLIENT DESCRIPTION].

My service/offer: [NAME AND BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MAIN SERVICE]

My deliverables: Here are the main assets/deliverables I create for my clients as part of this service:
1. [DELIVERABLE 1]
2. [DELIVERABLE 2]
3. [DELIVERABLE 3]

Based on the information above, please help me identify the 5 best types of assets I could analyze in my weekly newsletter.

For each asset, please provide:
1. Potential asset you could break down
2. Rationale for writing about this type of asset
3. How easy it is to find examples (score from 1-10)
4. 2-3 specific ways to consistently find examples of this asset in the wild

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.
