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-taste-frontend 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 Taste — Frontend

A comprehensive design taste and visual quality guide for building premium, modern frontend interfaces across web and mobile platforms.


1. Core Design Principles

The Hierarchy of Visual Quality

  1. Spacing & Alignment — The #1 indicator of design quality. Inconsistent spacing = amateur.
  2. Typography — Sets the entire tone. Good type choices carry even minimal designs.
  3. Color & Contrast — Creates mood, guides attention, signals interactivity.
  4. Depth & Layering — Shadows, blur, z-ordering create spatial relationships.
  5. Motion & Feedback — Makes the interface feel alive and responsive.

Design Taste Signals

Premium Feel:

  • Generous whitespace (don't be afraid of empty space)
  • Tight leading on large headings, loose leading on body text
  • Subtle color palette with 1–2 accent colors
  • Consistent 4px/8px spacing grid
  • Purposeful shadows (not generic box-shadow)

Amateur Signals:

  • Default browser fonts and sizes
  • Rainbow of unrelated colors
  • Inconsistent padding/margins
  • Borders everywhere instead of spacing and background contrast
  • Generic stock icons that don't match in style

2. Typography System

Font Selection Strategy

Category Recommended Fonts Personality
Modern Sans Inter, Geist, Satoshi, Plus Jakarta Sans Clean, techy, versatile
Classic Sans Helvetica Neue, SF Pro, Roboto Neutral, professional
Geometric Outfit, Poppins, Montserrat Friendly, approachable
Serif (Editorial) Playfair Display, Lora, Source Serif Authoritative, editorial
Mono JetBrains Mono, Fira Code, SF Mono Code, technical data

Type Scale (Recommended)

--text-xs:    0.75rem   / 12px   — Captions, badges
--text-sm:    0.875rem  / 14px   — Secondary text, labels
--text-base:  1rem      / 16px   — Body text (base)

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.
