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

Copilot-Skills radix-ui.instructions.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 7d 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.

Radix UI - Automatic Context Instructions

Related Prompt: /radix-ui
Related Skill: .github/copilot-skills/ui/radix-ui/

Triggers: radix-ui, @radix-ui/react-, Dialog, Select, Menu, Checkbox, primitives, composable components, unstyled components

Context: What This Provides

When working with Radix UI packages (@radix-ui/react-*) or when user queries mention accessibility, component composition, or unstyled components, this context is automatically activated.

Core Principles

Accessibility First

  • WAI-ARIA Compliance - All components follow official ARIA patterns
  • Keyboard Navigation - Full keyboard support is mandatory
  • Focus Management - Explicit focus control with callbacks
  • Screen Reader Testing - Test with assistive technologies
  • Semantic HTML - Use proper semantic elements

Unstyled & Composable

  • No Default Styles - You control the appearance completely
  • Granular Components - Root, Trigger, Content, Overlay, etc. parts
  • asChild Flexibility - Replace root element with custom component
  • Portal Pattern - Use Portal for overlays/modals
  • Type Safety - Full TypeScript support

Developer Experience

  • Consistent APIs - Similar structure across all components
  • Well Documented - Clear examples and patterns available
  • Incremental Adoption - Use components alongside existing code
  • No Breaking Changes - Stable, predictable versioning

Default Behaviors

When user mentions "Radix UI component"

  1. Suggest /radix-ui skill prompt for comprehensive guide
  2. Review component structure (Root, Trigger, Content, etc.)
  3. Check for Portal usage in overlay components
  4. Verify ARIA labels are present
  5. Consider focus management needs

When user mentions "accessibility" or "a11y"

  1. Activate Radix UI accessibility best practices
  2. Suggest /radix-ui skill for pattern examples
  3. Recommend keyboard testing (Tab, Escape, Arrows)
  4. Check ARIA attributes (aria-label, aria-describedby, etc.)
  5. Review screen reader compatibility

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.
