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

ph-maker-comment 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 10d 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.

Maker Comment Structure

↓
[THE WHY - Origin Story]
↓
[THE PROBLEM - What you're solving]
↓
[THE SOLUTION - What you built]
↓
[WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL - Key differentiator]
↓
[OFFER/INCENTIVE - If applicable]
↓
[CALL TO ACTION - What you want from them]
↓
[GRATITUDE + OPENNESS]

Section-by-Section Guide

1. Greeting + Identity (1-2 lines)

Purpose: Establish who you are and your role

Examples:

  • "Hey PH! I'm [Name], founder of [Product]. 👋"
  • "Hi everyone! [Name] here, the solo dev behind [Product]."
  • "Hello Product Hunt! I'm [Name], and I've been building [Product] for the past [X] months."

Tips:

  • Use first name (approachable)
  • Mention your role (builds credibility)
  • Keep it warm but not over-the-top

2. The Why - Origin Story (2-4 lines)

Purpose: Share why you built this (the authentic motivation)

Examples:

  • "I started [Product] after experiencing [specific pain point] at my last job..."
  • "The idea came from a frustrating Friday night when I spent 3 hours trying to..."
  • "As a [role], I was tired of [specific problem]. So I decided to fix it."

Tips:

  • Be specific (not "I wanted to help people")
  • Share the emotional moment
  • Make it relatable
