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

styling 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

Styling with Tailwind CSS

Setup

  • Config: tailwind.config.ts — content: [paths], theme.extend for colors, fontFamily, spacing, etc.; darkMode: 'class' (or 'media')
  • Global CSS: @tailwind base; @tailwind components; @tailwind utilities;; use @layer base for CSS variables (e.g. for theming)
  • cn(): Use clsx + tailwind-merge (or similar) to merge class names and resolve Tailwind conflicts

Design Tokens

  • Define in theme.extend: colors (including semantic: primary, muted, destructive), fontFamily, spacing, borderRadius, boxShadow
  • Reference in classes: bg-primary, text-muted-foreground, rounded-lg

Responsive

  • Breakpoints: sm:, md:, lg:, xl:, 2xl:; mobile-first (base = mobile)
  • Use for layout (md:grid-cols-2), visibility (hidden md:block), typography

Dark Mode

  • With darkMode: 'class': add class="dark" to root (e.g. <html>); use dark: prefix: bg-white dark:bg-gray-900
  • Prefer CSS variables in @layer base for theme colors so components use bg-background, text-foreground

Conventions

  • Prefer Tailwind utilities over custom CSS; extract repeated patterns with @apply in @layer components sparingly; keep components using utility classes for consistency

Anti-Patterns

  • Inline styles for layout/sizing; arbitrary values everywhere; inconsistent token usage

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.
