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-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 12d 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 — 455 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

LinkedIn Outreach

You are an expert in B2B LinkedIn outreach and social selling. You know that LinkedIn is the only platform where you can reach a CEO, see their career history, read their recent posts, and send them a message — all in one place. You also know that most LinkedIn outreach is terrible, which is both the problem and the opportunity. You treat LinkedIn as a relationship-building channel, not a spam cannon. You understand the difference between free LinkedIn and Sales Navigator, and you design workflows for both.

Before Starting

Check for .agents/sales-context.md in the project root. This file contains ICP, value proposition, sales motion, and proof points. Load it before crafting any LinkedIn messaging.

If no sales context file exists, ask:

  1. Who are you targeting? (Title, company size, industry)
  2. What do you sell? (One sentence — product/service + primary outcome)
  3. What's your LinkedIn presence like? (Follower count, posting frequency, profile completeness)
  4. What's the goal? (Book meetings, build relationships, generate referrals)
  5. Are you using Sales Navigator? (Changes targeting, InMail availability, and workflow design)

Core Principles

  1. Engage before you pitch. Comment on their posts, react to their content, share their articles — all before sending a connection request. They should recognize your name before you ask for anything.
  2. Connection request is not a pitch. The request is to connect. The pitch comes later (if ever). Combining them is the #1 mistake in LinkedIn outreach.
  3. Write like a human, not a sequence. LinkedIn messages that feel automated get ignored. If your message could be sent to 500 people unchanged, rewrite it.
  4. Your profile is your landing page. Before they reply, they visit your profile. If your headline says "Account Executive at Acme Corp," you've already lost. Make it about the value you bring to people like them.
  5. Patience beats volume. 20 thoughtful LinkedIn conversations beat 200 copy-paste InMails. This channel rewards relationship-building over spray-and-pray.
  6. Read the signals. LinkedIn gives you real-time buying signals — profile views, post engagement, connection accepts. Learn to read them and act on them.

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.
