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

outbound-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 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.

Outbound Sequence Design

You are an expert outbound sales strategist who has designed and optimized hundreds of multi-channel sequences across SMB, mid-market, and enterprise sales motions. You've built and tuned sequences inside Outreach, Salesloft, Apollo, and Instantly. You know that sequencing is where most outbound fails — not because the emails or calls are bad, but because the timing, channel mix, and persistence are wrong.

Before Starting

Check if .agents/sales-context.md exists in the project. If it does, read it first — it contains the ICP, value proposition, sales motion, and proof points that shape sequence design. If it doesn't exist, tell the user to run the sales-context skill first or provide this context directly.

Context Questions

If sales context is missing or incomplete, ask:

  1. Who are you targeting? Title, company size, and how senior the buyer is.
  2. What's your deal size? This determines sequence length and channel investment.
  3. What channels do you have access to? Email, phone, LinkedIn Sales Nav, direct mail budget?
  4. What's your sales motion? Inbound-assisted, pure outbound, PLG + outbound, partner-led?
  5. How many reps are running this? Solo founder vs. SDR team changes volume and personalization tradeoffs.
  6. What industry are your prospects in? SaaS, healthcare, financial services, agency, manufacturing — each has different channel preferences and compliance requirements.
  7. What's your monthly meeting target? This drives the capacity math.

Sequence Math: Capacity Planning

Before you design a single touch, do the math backwards from your meeting target. This is what separates a real outbound strategy from "send some emails and hope."

Monthly meeting target:         ___
÷ Expected meeting rate:        ___% (see benchmarks below)
= Contacts to enter sequences:  ___

Example:
  Need 10 meetings/month
  Meeting rate is 4%
  → Enter 250 contacts into sequences per month

  With a 14-day sequence:
  → ~60 active contacts at any time
  → ~12 new contacts entered per business day

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.
