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

referral-copy-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 8d 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.

Referral Copy Writer

What This Skill Does

Writes the in-email referral section that asks existing subscribers to share the newsletter with colleagues or friends — including the ask, the framing of the reward or reciprocity, and the specific share copy subscribers can use verbatim.

When To Use This Skill

  • You are integrating a referral programme (such as SparkLoop, Beehiiv referrals, or a manual tracking system) and need copy for the in-newsletter ask
  • You want to add an occasional organic sharing prompt to your newsletter without a formal referral programme
  • Your subscriber growth has plateaued from your own channels and you want to activate word-of-mouth from your existing list
  • You are launching a new referral tier or changing reward levels and need fresh copy to announce it

What You Need To Provide

Required: Newsletter name, voice, and audience; whether you are running a formal referral programme with rewards or just asking for organic sharing Optional: The specific rewards you offer at each referral tier (e.g. "3 referrals = exclusive monthly Q&A access; 10 referrals = one year paid subscription free"); your unique referral link format; any data on your subscriber base that makes the sharing ask feel meaningful (e.g. "our readers are mostly professionals who know other professionals in the same field"); a short description of the type of reader most likely to appreciate the newsletter

How the Assistant Approaches This

  1. Opens with the value-first framing: before the ask, gives the reader a brief reminder of why they find the newsletter worthwhile — this activates the psychological state most likely to lead to sharing
  2. Makes the ask specific and personal: "forward this to one colleague who..." is consistently more effective than "share with your network"; the copy names the ideal recipient to help the reader picture a real person
  3. If there are referral rewards, presents them simply and concretely — a table or a brief tier list, not a paragraph of programme mechanics. Avoids making the rewards sound like the primary reason to share (this backfires by making sharing feel transactional)
  4. Provides 2–3 lines of ready-to-copy share text that subscribers can paste into a message, email, or social post — removing the effort of composing their own recommendation is the single most effective referral conversion technique
  5. Closes with the referral link placeholder and a low-pressure sign-off

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.
