typography

A command-line workflow for working with fonts. It covers editing letter shapes, converting OpenType fonts to TrueType fonts, choosing fonts, and creating interactive typography testing tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to adjust glyph outlines, export fonts for Epson LabelWorks, explore font choices and pairings, or build a browser-based typography tester.
Why use it?
It brings several font-production tasks into one guided process and includes checks intended to protect font collections that must not be changed.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

typography scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

/typography - Font Library Management Pipeline

REQUEST: $ARGUMENTS


Overview

The /typography command (main thread) runs the typography workflow directly, spawning specialists single-level via Agent(). There is no intermediate orchestrator subagent — the command owns routing, checkpoints, and Workshop persistence. It handles:

  • Glyph editing - Surgical contour modifications with fontTools
  • TTF export - OTF to TTF conversion for Epson LabelWorks
  • Font selection - Recommendations and pairing suggestions
  • Typography Explorer - Generate interactive testing tools for real-time typography exploration

Mandatory Pre-Flight

Before ANY operation:

  1. Read CLAUDE.md - Source of truth for paths and rules
  2. Check sacred collections - NEVER modify [Adobe], [FontShop], Google Fonts, Nerd Fonts, Icons
  3. Verify paths - Use canonical paths from CLAUDE.md

Complexity Routing

Parse $ARGUMENTS for complexity tier:

Flag Tier Routing
--tweak Simple Direct to specialist, no checkpoints
(none) Default Full workflow with backup + batch checkpoints
--complex Complex Full pipeline with per-weight previews
--explorer Tool Generation Generate typography exploration tool

Explorer Mode (--explorer)

When $ARGUMENTS contains --explorer, the command spawns the typography-explorer-generator agent single-level.

Usage

/typography --explorer                    # Generate typography tester (auto-detect format)
/typography --explorer --nextjs           # Generate as Next.js app
/typography --explorer --html             # Generate as standalone HTML
/typography --explorer --context store    # For store/product UI context
/typography --explorer --context markdown # For article/markdown context

Format Detection

  1. If --nextjs flag present: Generate Next.js React components
  2. If --html flag present: Generate standalone HTML file
  3. Otherwise, auto-detect:
    • Check for next.config.* in project root
    • If found: Next.js format
    • Otherwise: HTML format

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.
