email-best-practices

email-best-practices is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TommyBez/skillsboard. It costs 75 tokens per session (857 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of email-best-practices, MIT.

A practical guide to sending emails that reach inboxes, follow consent and privacy rules, and work well for people using assistive technology. It covers marketing emails, account messages, forms, and delivery-event handling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building email signup forms, newsletters, password resets, one-time codes, confirmations, or other automated emails. It also helps set up sender authentication, delivery retries, webhooks, suppression lists, and accessible email content.
Why use it?
It helps prevent emails from going to spam, bouncing, or being sent without proper permission. It also reduces problems caused by inaccessible messages, failed sends, and poor handling of unsubscribe or complaint signals.

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

email-best-practices 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 11d 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.

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.
