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

elevator-pitch 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.

Elevator Pitch

Overview

An elevator pitch is 1-2 sentences that clearly explain who you serve, what problem you solve, and why you're different. Geoffrey Moore's famous template (from Crossing the Chasm) provides a proven structure. This skill helps you craft and test elevator pitches for products, features, or entire companies.

When to Use

  • Defining or refining product positioning
  • Writing a website hero section or landing page
  • Preparing for investor, customer, or partner pitches
  • Aligning the team on a shared value proposition
  • Onboarding new team members to the product's core value
  • Don't use for: internal feature descriptions (too narrow), technical documentation

Instructions

1. Use the Geoffrey Moore Template

For [target customer]
Who [need or opportunity],
The [product name] is a [product category]
That [key benefit / reason to buy].
Unlike [primary competitive alternative],
Our product [unique differentiator].

2. Fill Each Slot Carefully

Target customer: Be specific. "Mid-market engineering managers" not "anyone who manages teams."

Need or opportunity: What job are they trying to do? Focus on the problem, not the market.

Product category: The category sets expectations. Choose carefully.

  • "Project management tool" → compared to Asana, Jira
  • "Async status tool" → compared to standup bots, Slack
  • New categories create headroom but require education

Key benefit: One clear, customer-focused benefit. Not features.

Primary competitive alternative: Be honest. The alternative might be "doing nothing" or "spreadsheets."

Unique differentiator: Your defensible advantage. Not "we have better UX" (everyone says that).

3. Test Your Pitch

Check against these criteria:

  • Clarity: Would someone outside your company understand it?
  • Specificity: Is it precise enough that you couldn't swap in a competitor's name?
  • Memorability: Can someone repeat it back after hearing it once?
  • Differentiation: Does it describe what makes you special, not just what you do?
