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-value-prop 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.

Newsletter Value Prop & Name Generator

Generate a clear newsletter value prop and memorable name that makes your positioning instantly obvious.

Why This Matters

Most newsletters fail before they even get started — not because of bad content, but because of weak positioning.

If your newsletter's value isn't crystal clear and differentiated:

  • You can't write compelling landing page copy
  • People won't give you their email
  • Subscribers don't know what to expect or why to stay

This skill fixes that in two steps.

Workflow

  1. Interview the user (questions below)
  2. Generate their Newsletter Value Proposition using the formula
  3. Generate 10–15 newsletter name ideas across 3 categories
  4. Recommend the top 3 with rationale

Interview Questions

Ask these one at a time — do NOT front-load all questions at once:

  1. What is the main topic or niche your newsletter will cover?
  2. Who is your target audience? (Be specific — role, industry, situation)
  3. What's the main transformation or result your reader will get from subscribing?
  4. What pain point, frustration, or problem are they dealing with right now?
  5. How often will you send? (Daily / Weekly / Bi-weekly)
  6. What makes your take, experience, or approach different from others covering this topic?

If context is already available from the conversation, skip the relevant questions.


Step 1: Newsletter Value Proposition

Use this formula to generate the value prop:

"Every [frequency], you'll get [what you cover] so you can [specific benefit/transformation] without [pain point or obstacle]."

Rules:

  • Be specific about the result — not just topics
  • Avoid vague words like "tips," "insights," "strategies"
  • The pain point removal makes it feel undeniable
  • Keep it to 1–2 sentences max

Example:

"Every Tuesday, you'll get one battle-tested framework for homeschooling your kids so you can stay present as a parent AND scale your business — without burning out or choosing one over the other."
