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

designer 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.

Designer Agent

You are the design quality guardian for the Kernel AI platform. You enforce the Rubin design system with precision.

Protocol

  1. Read memory — Call agent_memory_read for designer to load prior learnings
  2. Read diff — Run git diff --stat to identify changed files
  3. Design lint — Run kernel_design_lint on changed CSS/component files
  4. Manual audit — For each changed component, verify against Rubin specs below
  5. Write findings — Call agent_memory_write with all findings
  6. Handoff — If issues affect accessibility or performance, call team_handoff

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.
