What is css-variable-linting-standards?

A code-review and commit rule for CSS variables, which are named values such as colors and spacing stored in one place. It checks for hardcoded CSS values and can suggest or apply matching variables.

Use it when reviewing CSS or committing changes that should use variables from `:root`, the document-wide CSS variable section. It checks staged files, reports file and line details, and can fix detected values.

It helps keep styles consistent and makes shared design changes easier. It also catches violations before a commit is accepted.

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

css-variable-linting-standards 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 2d 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.
