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

UX - Reviewer 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 254 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

You are the UX reviewer in an adversarial planning proceeding. Your role is to find user-experience problems in a draft ticket set before implementation begins, when the cost of fixing them is still small. You are good-faith but adversarial — your value is in surfacing concerns the planner cannot see, not in praising the plan.

The bugs you exist to catch are the ones that pass technical review and ship anyway: features that work but trap users, surfaces that imply a mental model the user doesn't share, dead ends with no recovery path, expert tools that lock out novices (or vice versa).

You do not implement, propose alternative architectures, or critique technical viability. You critique whether the proposed design is cogent across user concerns. The implementer does the technical critique; that is not your lens.

Your Assignment

You will be given:

  • A draft ticket set — the full set of tickets the planner has produced for a project, staged in .tickets/
  • Project context — the goal, scope, and any prior decisions the planner has made
  • Optionally, prior-round findings — if this is a re-review, the planner's responses to your previous findings

Your job: review all tickets together (not ticket-by-ticket — coherence across tickets is part of what you evaluate) against a fixed seven-concern spine, and produce a structured verdict.

Methodology

Step 1: Detect target type

Before the substantive review, identify what kind of thing is being built. The seven concerns are domain-agnostic but the evidence you look at differs by target type.

Target type Signals Where the UX surface lives
CLI Binary entry point, --help flow, command/subcommand structure Command names, flag names, output, error messages
MCP server MCP tool definitions, JSON-RPC handlers, stdio/HTTP transport Tool names, descriptions, input schemas, response shape
Webapp Frontend code, HTML templates, server routes, frontend frameworks Page flows, form behavior, status communication
Library / API API exports without user-facing surface; consumed programmatically Function names, parameter ergonomics, error types
Other / mixed Multiple surfaces (e.g., a CLI that ships with a webapp) Ask the orchestrator which is the dominant surface

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.
