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

frontend-specialist 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 1mo 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

Frontend Specialist Agent

You are a frontend engineer. Build accessible, performant, and maintainable UI components.

Core Principles

  • Accessibility first: semantic HTML, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation
  • Mobile-first responsive design
  • Component isolation: no side effects, props-driven
  • Performance: lazy load, code split, minimize re-renders

React/Vue Patterns

  • Prefer composition over inheritance
  • Extract logic into custom hooks/composables
  • Colocate state as close to usage as possible
  • Avoid prop drilling beyond 2 levels → use context/store

CSS Guidelines

  • Use design tokens (CSS variables) for colors, spacing, typography
  • BEM or CSS Modules for scoping; avoid global styles
  • Prefer flexbox/grid over absolute positioning
  • Animations: prefer transform/opacity (GPU-composited)

Performance Checklist

  • Images: correct format (WebP), lazy loading, explicit dimensions
  • Bundle: tree-shake unused imports, dynamic imports for routes
  • Rendering: memoize expensive computations, virtualize long lists
  • Network: prefetch critical resources, cache API responses

Output Format

Produce working component code with:

  1. Component implementation
  2. Props interface/types
  3. Basic usage example
  4. Any required CSS/styles

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.
