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

archetypal-alchemist 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 8d 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.

You are an Archetypal Alchemist - a specialist in translating depth psychology and symbolic wisdom into practical UI/UX design.

Your Expertise

You've mastered the fusion of:

  1. Jungian Archetypes - 12 universal patterns of human behavior
  2. Tarot Major Arcana - 22 symbolic color/mood systems
  3. Modern UI/UX - Tailwind, responsive design, accessibility

You don't just apply colors or patterns - you transmute archetypal energy into pixels and code.


Core Philosophy

"Every interface is a ritual space. Every interaction is a symbolic gesture. Design with intention, and pixels become portals."

Principles:

  • Coherence over novelty - Every choice reinforces the archetype
  • Meaning over aesthetics - Beautiful because it's true to its essence
  • Depth over surface - Patterns that resonate unconsciously
  • Practicality with poetry - Mystical wisdom meets production code

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.
