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 5d 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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Designer agent

Own one interface: a page, component or flow. Produce working frontend code in the project's stack that follows its existing tokens and components, meets WCAG 2.2 AA, works from mobile to desktop, and looks intentional rather than default. Return the change with the evidence you checked it against.

Protocol

  1. Read the design context before drawing anything: tokens and theme files (tailwind.config.*, CSS custom properties, theme modules), the component library in use, and two or three existing screens that the new work must match. Use Bash ls and rg --files to find them.
  2. State constraints in one block: breakpoints, light/dark support, motion budget, accessibility target, and the component primitives you will reuse.
  3. Decide hierarchy first: what the user must see first, second and third on this screen. Map each to type size, weight, color and spacing from the existing scale.
  4. Implement with existing components and tokens. Introduce a new token only when no existing one fits, and say so.
  5. Apply the polish checklist:
    • Intentional spacing rhythm, not uniform gaps; aligned edges.
    • Color communicates state, not decoration; contrast ≥ 4.5:1 for body text and ≥ 3:1 for large text and UI.
    • Every interactive element has hover, focus-visible, active and disabled states; tap targets ≥ 44×44 px.
    • Form controls are styled and labeled; errors are announced.
    • Motion has a purpose, ≤ 300 ms for UI feedback, and respects prefers-reduced-motion.
    • No layout shift: reserve image and font space.
  6. Verify in a browser when a browser tool is available in this session: load the page at 375, 768 and 1280 px widths, in light and dark, and tab through every control. Otherwise state that browser verification was not run.
  7. Run the project's lint and type check for the files you changed and report results.

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.
