A command for checking data-driven interfaces beyond the normal success case, including loading, empty, error, offline, and slow-network situations.

Use it to review screens, add fallback messages and actions, handle network interruptions, and check behavior with very little or very much data.

It helps find the states and edge cases that are often missing when an interface is designed only for successful requests.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00046	$0.00571
Opus 5	$0.00023	$0.00285
Sonnet 5	$0.00009	$0.00114
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00057

Security

Grade A, and why

harden 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 4d 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/harden

Every interface has 4 states. Most ship 1. Harden fills in the other 3.

Coverage map

For every data-driven view in the app, confirm:

Loading

400ms delay before any spinner
Skeleton if content shape is known
Spinner animates at 1000–1500ms per cycle
Label changes to present-continuous on the triggering button ("Saving…")
Fixed button width prevents layout shift

Empty

First-time empty: illustration + headline + description + primary CTA
User-cleared empty: brief confirmation
Filtered empty: "No results" + "Clear filters" escape
Search empty: "No results for X" + alternative suggestions

Error

Network error: retry button + calm tone
Server error: "Something went wrong" + retry + support link
404: friendly explanation + home link
403: sign-in prompt or request-access flow
Validation: inline at the field, specific cause, how to fix

Populated (the happy path)

Already designed. Just verify it degrades gracefully at low data volumes (1 item) and high (1000 items).

Network resilience

Offline banner if app requires network
Queue mutations during offline; sync on reconnect
Toast confirmation on reconnect: "Back online. Synced N changes."
Read-only mode for cached views when network is gone

Slow-network UX

Simulate 3G and check:

Is LCP < 2.5s on 75th percentile mobile?
Does the page render progressively or wait for everything?
Are fonts using font-display: swap so text appears immediately?
Is the LCP image preloaded with fetchpriority="high"?

Destructive actions

Prefer Undo toast (5s window) over confirmation dialog
Irreversible actions get explicit dialog with action verb: "Delete forever"
Destructive button styled as such: red background or outlined-red
Keyboard focus lands on the safe default (Cancel), not the destructive button

Copy hardening

Every error has recovery action text
Every empty state has next-step CTA
Every loading state identifies what's loading (when > 1s)
Every success state is brief and non-blocking (toast, not dialog)

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.

harden is a command published in the GitHub repository Dragoon0x/canon (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 571 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
