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

outreach-writer 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.

Outreach Writer

Write personalized outreach messages — cold emails, LinkedIn connection requests, pre-demo emails, and warm intro templates. Every message is grounded in research and customized to the user's product positioning.

When to Use

  • User says "write an email to [name] at [company]"
  • User needs a LinkedIn connection request or InMail
  • User wants a pre-demo email to send before a scheduled call
  • User needs a warm intro request to send through a mutual connection
  • User asks to write any prospecting or sales communication

Required Inputs

Ask the user for:

Prospect: [Name, title, company]
Outreach Type: [Cold email / LinkedIn connection / Pre-demo email / Warm intro request]
Context: [Why are you reaching out? Any shared connection or trigger event?]

If the user just says "write an email to Sarah at Acme," research first, then ask which type of outreach they need.

Process

1. Load Context

Read company-profile.md for the user's product positioning, differentiators, and background.

2. Research the Prospect

If not already done, use the research-prospect process to gather company and contact intelligence. You need at minimum:

  • What the prospect's company does
  • The contact's role and background
  • A personalization hook

3. Generate the Message

Use the appropriate template based on outreach type. See Email Best Practices for style rules.

Output Formats

Cold Email

Subject: [Short, specific, curiosity-driving — no clickbait]

Hi [First Name],

[HOOK — 1 sentence. Reference something specific: a recent post, a trigger event, a shared connection, or a specific observation about their business.]

[BRIDGE — 1-2 sentences. Connect their situation to the problem you solve. Don't pitch features — describe the outcome.]

[CTA — 1 sentence. One clear ask: a 15-minute call, permission to send a demo, or a yes/no question.]

[Sign-off],
[User Name]
[Title, Company]

Rules:

  • Under 100 words in the body
  • No more than 3 sentences before the CTA
  • The subject line should make them want to open, not summarize the email
  • Never lead with "I" — lead with them

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.
