Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00023 | $0.00416 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00208 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00083 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00042 |
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.
What it actually says
Cold Outreach
The Big Idea
Your first message has one job: earn a second message.
No price. No pitch. No links. The stranger owes you nothing.
Everyone scans. Line one decides everything.
The Moves
-
Prove you looked. "Noticed your shop has a 1-star right under your phone number." Real attention stops thumbs. Templates are invisible.
-
Open a loop. "Something about your listing makes this fixable. Most owners never hear what." A gap begs one reply to close it.
-
Give value in message one. One true, useful fact. Costs nothing. Flips you from taker to giver.
-
Run a sequence, not spam. Touch 1: what you noticed. Touch 2: teach one thing. Touch 3: show proof. Touch 4: apply it to them. Mention limited spots once, only if true. Touch 5: short offer. Every touch carries something new. "Just bumping this" is dead air.
-
Know when to stop. Two silent touches after the offer means park it. Come back in weeks.
-
Copy their speed. They answer in hours? You wait at least an hour. Never double-text the same day.
-
Exit with an open door. "Done, won't bother you. If it ever matters, reply AUDIT and I check your listing free."
When It Backfires
- Links in message one. Reads like mass marketing. Gets reported.
- Fake deadlines anywhere. One lie poisons all five touches.
- Personal stuff (family, health). Talk business only.
One-Line Memory
People ignore pitches. They remember someone who understood their situation before asking for anything.
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.
