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

designbrief AGENTS.md 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 2mo 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

designbrief

Design direction for AI-generated UI. This project contains 20 style guardrail files in styles/.

When building UI

  1. If the user specifies a style, read styles/{style-name}.md and follow its guardrails
  2. If no style is specified, read styles/_index.md to see all available styles with mood/industry tags, then help the user choose
  3. Apply the chosen style's rules for typography, color, spacing, components, layout, and motion
  4. Stay consistent — don't mix styles unless asked

Available styles

See styles/_index.md for the full catalog. Style files: anti-design, art-deco, aurora, bauhaus, bento-grid, claymorphism, corporate-modern, dark-mode-premium, flat-design, glassmorphism, japandi, material-design, minimalism, neubrutalism, neumorphism, organic, retro-futurism, skeuomorphism, swiss, y2k-revival.

For the full skill definition with detailed workflow, see SKILL.md.

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.
