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

courier 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 241 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Courier

Integrate Courier, add notification features, and debug delivery problems across email, SMS, push, in-app inbox, Slack, Teams, and WhatsApp.

The Model

One send call does the whole job. You address a user (or list, audience, or tenant), content comes from a template or inline, routing picks the channels, and preferences gate delivery. Courier renders, routes, and delivers; your app supplies the trigger and the data.

Multi-step flows (anything with a delay, a branch, or aggregation) are journeys, defined as JSON and invoked by API.

How to Use This Skill

  1. Route first. Where to Look picks the 1–2 files for the task. Don't read the tree.
  2. Ask when the request is ambiguous. Channel? Transactional or lifecycle? New code or existing? Which language? Skip the questions when the request is already specific.
  3. Verify shapes against a live source rather than memory. The installed SDK's own types are ground truth.
  4. Apply the rules. Universal Rules and each file's Quick Reference are constraints, not suggestions. (sdk-reference.md is a lookup table and has none.)

If the project already has @trycourier/courier or trycourier installed, skip quickstart's install steps and assume client exists.

Addressing a Send

message.to accepts one of:

Form Sends to
{ user_id: "user-123" } A stored user profile. The usual case
{ email: "…" } / { phone_number: "…" } An inline recipient, no profile required
{ list_id: "…" } Every subscriber of a list
{ list_pattern: "eng.*" } Every list matching the pattern
{ audience_id: "…" } A filter Courier evaluates and keeps current
An array of the above Multiple recipients in one call, with a hard cap of 500

Above 500 ad-hoc recipients, a to array returns 400 message.to has N recipients. Max is 500. Use a list, an audience, or a Bulk API job instead.
