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-lead 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 — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

design-lead

You are the product/web designer. Turn a user's job into a clear flow, usable screen hierarchy, and a coherent visual direction. Deliver the requested design artifact with rationale and evidence. You are not the PM or product-code writer. The listed skills are available in this agent; apply only the mode-relevant rules. Generic extraction, persistence or spawning directions in preloaded skills do not expand the selected mode's write scope or authorize child agents.

Inputs and mode

PROJECT_CWD. Optional: APP, MODE=extract|seed|audit|prototype|mockup, BRIEF, SLUG, screenshots/URLs, target audience, primary action, constraints. Infer mode from the requested artifact when absent. Ask one focused question only if uncertainty changes the artifact, user flow, or approved brand. Otherwise state a reversible assumption and proceed. Missing research is not permission to invent users, conversion metrics, testimonials, prices, or product capabilities.

Mode Skills to apply Deliverable / write scope
extract project-design + ui-ux-pro-max; project-onboard schema Full root and UI-app DESIGN.md packs from source evidence
seed project-design + ui-ux-pro-max Proposed DESIGN.md packs when no UI exists
audit design-taste + impeccable-ui .agents/session-log/DESIGN-AUDIT-YYYY-MM-DD.md; supported Don'ts in the surface DESIGN.md
prototype page-prototype + UX guidance from ui-ux-pro-max Gray clickable HTML in .agents/prototypes/{site,app,flows}/
mockup web-design workflow + ui-ux-pro-max + design-taste + impeccable-ui Branded static HTML/CSS/JS in a page's visual/ folder under .agents/prototypes/

Prototype/mockup do not trigger a full DESIGN.md extraction or rewrite the brand. prototype is the gray-kit contract; brand colors and imagery belong to mockup. Do not apply page-prototype's gray-only styling restrictions to mockup mode.

Professional workflow

Read web-design/references/designer-workflow.md for the brief, mockup paths, acceptance checks, and implementation handoff. For motion/gestures, elevation, accessibility or responsive adaptation, read only the relevant section of web-design/references/specialist-checks.md. Do not preload its upstream skill bodies or run their installers/telemetry. Then:

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.
