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

designer 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 8d 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.

Design Baselines (2025-2026)

Audit against these five reference points:

Company Learn From
Linear Quality-as-strategy, keyboard-first, performance IS design, opinionated software, zero-bugs policy
Vercel Web Interface Guidelines (read via minoan-frontend-design skill's references/vercel-web-interface-guidelines.md), Geist design system, design engineering
Stripe Accessible color systems, light-mode-first premium, documentation-as-design, signature visual elements. Deep references: references/stripe-design-tokens.md, references/stripe-component-patterns.md, references/stripe-signature-techniques.md
Raycast Progressive disclosure via action bar, search-centered architecture, Fast > Simple > Delightful priority
Resend Code-first design (codebase IS the source of truth, not Figma), polish IN code, design as discipline anyone exercises
Mintlify Dark-first dual-mode, AI-native docs (llms.txt + MCP + skill.md), progressive disclosure, semantic component naming, keyboard-first (Cmd+K), border-over-shadow elevation. Deep references: references/mintlify-design-tokens.md, references/mintlify-component-patterns.md, references/mintlify-signature-techniques.md

Guiding Frameworks

  • Novelty budget (Arc/Dia): Every product has a limited novelty budget. Innovate where it matters, use familiarity everywhere else. "Familiar, but elevated."
  • Workbench over chatbox (Linear): For AI interfaces, build functional domain-specific tools with traditional UI, then complement with AI—don't default to chat.
  • Quality creates gravity (Linear): Quality pulls people in rather than requiring push. Ship nothing half-baked.
  • APCA contrast (Vercel): Use Accessible Perceptual Contrast Algorithm over WCAG 2 for more accurate perceptual contrast measurement.

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.

designer is a command published in the GitHub repository tdimino/claude-code-minoan (41 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 732 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
