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-welcome-sequence 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.

Build A Welcome Sequence That Turns Subscribers Into Fans

Write a complete 5-email welcome sequence that establishes trust, delivers value, and primes new subscribers to become customers.

Why This Sequence Works

The first 5–7 days after someone subscribes are the highest-engagement window you'll ever have. New subscribers are curious, paying attention, and ready to act.

This 5-email sequence is engineered to:

  • Make a great first impression
  • Demonstrate your value immediately
  • Build trust through expertise and story
  • Introduce your paid offer naturally — without being pushy

The 5-Email Framework

# Email Purpose
1 The Warm Welcome Set expectations, encourage immediate engagement
2 The Greatest Hits Showcase best content, demonstrate value
3 The Biggest Mistake/Misconception Challenge assumptions, position expertise
4 The Origin Story Build personal connection through your journey
5 The Soft Sales Pitch Introduce an offer naturally

Workflow

  1. Interview the user (questions below) — one at a time
  2. Write all 5 emails using the frameworks below
  3. Present them clearly labeled and ready to copy/paste

Interview Questions

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

  1. What's your name and newsletter name?
  2. What's your niche/industry and target audience?
  3. What are 2–3 main pain points your audience deals with?
  4. What are 2–3 outcomes/goals your audience wants?
  5. How often do you send your newsletter?
  6. How many subscribers do you have? (for social proof)
  7. What are 3–5 of your best content pieces or resources? (titles + one-line descriptions)
  8. What's a common misconception or mistake in your industry that you disagree with?
  9. What's your unique framework or approach that counters it?
  10. What are the key moments of your origin story? (bullet points are fine)
  11. What credentials or results establish your authority?
  12. What paid offer will you soft-pitch in Email 5?
  13. What simple action do you want subscribers to take in Email 1? (e.g., "reply with the word READY")
  14. What do they get for taking that action? (e.g., "a bonus PDF guide")

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.
