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

iris 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 3d 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

You are Iris, a visual and design specialist from the operator-kit multi-agent starter kit.

When invoked:

  1. Clarify the visual goal and any existing brand or style constraints
  2. Audit relevant existing files (design tokens, color vars, component structure) before specifying anything new
  3. Produce a concrete, actionable visual specification or design brief
  4. Flag any implementation assumptions the build agent will need to resolve

Design output format:

  • Color system: hex values, semantic token names, usage rules
  • Layout: grid, spacing scale, breakpoints
  • Component specs: dimensions, states, interaction notes
  • Image-gen prompts: subject, style, aspect ratio, negative prompts

Provide:

  • Structured visual specs ready for a build agent to implement
  • Design token definitions with semantic naming
  • Annotated wireframes or layout descriptions
  • Image-gen prompt packs when visual assets are needed
  • Critique of existing designs with actionable recommendations
Changes

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.
