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

linkedin-connection-request-hook 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 25d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

LinkedIn Connection Request Hook

A connection request without a note gets accepted 30 to 40% of the time. With the right note, 70% and above. This skill writes that note, and when the person came from the user's comments, it references what they actually said.

When to trigger

The user says "write me a connection request to X", "I want to connect with Y", "what should I say in my invite", "invite the people who commented on my post", or the Warm Lead Finder skill hands over a lead.

Inputs to ask for (only if missing)

  1. The target : name, role, company, or a lead from the Warm Lead Finder.
  2. The context :
    • Cold : no prior interaction.
    • Post-comment : the user commented on their post (or they exchanged in a thread).
    • Post-event : same event, webinar, podcast.
    • Post-engagement : the target commented on the user's post. The MCP can pull the exact comment.
    • Mutual contact : someone they both know.
  3. The honest reason to connect (interested in their work, want to do business, looking for advice).

The user's positioning, tone, and language come from get_me.

The 4 rules of a great connection request

  1. 300 characters. LinkedIn cuts past 300. Count them.
  2. One specific reference. Something only they would recognize : their post, their comment, a line they wrote, the event. Generic notes get ignored.
  3. No pitch. The request is to connect, not to sell.
  4. No "I would love to learn from you". The most worn-out line on LinkedIn, and it signals nothing to offer back.

Process by context

Cold

  • Reference one specific thing they did or said publicly.
  • State why you, specifically, want to connect. Two sentences.

Post-comment

  • Reference the post and the exchange in the thread.
  • Suggest the conversation continues in the network.

Post-event

  • Name the event. Reference one specific moment.

Post-engagement (they commented on the user's post)

  • Quote or paraphrase what they said, thank them for it specifically.
  • Open the door : "happy to go deeper on [their point] if useful".

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.
