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

cold-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.

Cold outreach

Write outreach that proves attention, makes one reasonable ask, and respects the recipient and applicable rules.

Choose a mode

  • Single message: one email, introduction request, follow-up, or professional direct message.
  • Sequence: coordinated touches with distinct purposes and stop conditions.
  • Audit: diagnose existing copy, research, cadence, deliverability, or compliance risk.
  • Reply handling: answer a positive reply, objection, referral, out-of-office, unsubscribe, or rejection.

Do not create a campaign when one message is enough.

Workflow

  1. Inspect supplied context and existing messages. Establish sender, recipient, relationship, goal, offer, proof, and requested next step without re-asking known facts.
  2. Research current recipient signals when research is authorized and useful. Prefer the person's work, company pages, filings/releases, job posts, interviews, and public writing. Record URLs and retrieval dates.
  3. Separate verified facts, sender-provided claims, and inference. Never invent familiarity, praise, mutual contacts, urgency, results, or social proof.
  4. Draft the shortest message that can establish relevance and make the ask. Use length and subject-line guidance as defaults, not universal laws.
  5. For a sequence, give every touch a different job and widening space where appropriate. Define stop conditions before copy.
  6. For reply handling, match the state: answer the question, reduce friction, propose the next step, or stop. Never continue after an opt-out.
  7. Check sender identity, authentication, list provenance, suppression handling, required identification/opt-out language, and applicable jurisdiction before recommending volume. If jurisdiction or recipient type is unknown, flag the legal uncertainty rather than declaring compliance.
  8. Read copy aloud. Remove generic flattery, throat-clearing, fake scarcity, hidden asks, manipulative guilt, and unsupported claims.

Ask only for a missing fact that materially changes the message. If a fact is useful but non-blocking, draft with a clearly marked confirmation note.

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.
