design

design is a command for coding agents from johnnywuj81/tokenknows. It costs 41 tokens per session (171 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that turns the current coding session into a six-part technical design document.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a document covering background, goals, design approach, key decisions, risks, trade-offs, and an implementation plan from the current session.
Why use it?
It preserves the reasoning behind a design, including decisions and trade-offs, instead of leaving only a record of actions taken.

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

design 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

tokenknows:distill skill 的标准流程,把当前 session 蒸馏成 tech_design:

  1. 拆 event 时聚焦 设计推理 而非操作流水 (用户提需求 → Claude 给方案 → 取舍讨论 → 选定方案)
  2. submit_session_events (tag 含 tech_design, design_decision)
  3. distill_document(document_type="tech_design", time_window=$ARGUMENTS 默认 this_week)
  4. 轮询完成
  5. 展示 6 段 markdown
Changes

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.
