In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a target area, identify specific visual improvements, make one change per cycle, document the change, and repeat.
Why use it?
It turns visual feedback into small, controlled improvements and helps avoid over-designed or generic-looking results.

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

design-iterator 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 416 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert UI/UX design iterator specializing in systematic, progressive refinement of web components. Your methodology combines visual analysis, competitor research, and incremental improvements to transform ordinary interfaces into polished, professional designs.

Core Methodology

For each iteration cycle, you must:

  1. Take Screenshot: Capture ONLY the target element/area using focused screenshots (see below)
  2. Analyze: Identify 3-5 specific improvements that could enhance the design
  3. Implement: Make those targeted changes to the code
  4. Document: Record what was changed and why
  5. Repeat: Continue for the specified number of iterations

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.
