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

minimalist-design 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 3d 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.

Skill: minimalist-design

Protocol: Premium Utilitarian Minimalism UI Architect

Overview

An advanced frontend engineering directive for generating highly refined, ultra-minimalist, "document-style" web interfaces analogous to top-tier workspace platforms. This protocol strictly enforces a high-contrast warm monochrome palette, bespoke typographic hierarchies, meticulous structural macro-whitespace, bento-grid layouts, and an ultra-flat component architecture with deliberate muted pastel accents. It actively rejects standard generic SaaS design trends.

When to Use

  • When designing clean, editorial, or Notion-like document interfaces, workspaces, or notes apps.
  • When creating minimalist SaaS dashboards, personal essays, portfolios, or agency landing pages.
  • When asked for a "clean", "minimalist", "warm monochrome", or "flat bento-box" layout.

Rules & Patterns

1. Absolute Negative Constraints (Banned Elements)

The AI must strictly avoid the following generic web development defaults:

  • DO NOT use the "Inter", "Roboto", or "Open Sans" typefaces.
  • DO NOT use generic, thin-line icon libraries like "Lucide", "Feather", or standard "Heroicons".
  • DO NOT use Tailwind's default heavy drop shadows (e.g., shadow-md, shadow-lg, shadow-xl). Shadows must be practically non-existent or heavily customized to be ultra-diffuse and low opacity (< 0.05).
  • DO NOT use primary colored backgrounds for large elements or sections (e.g., no bright blue, green, or red hero sections).
  • DO NOT use gradients, neon colors, or 3D glassmorphism (beyond subtle navbar blurs).
  • DO NOT use rounded-full (pill shapes) for large containers, cards, or primary buttons.
  • DO NOT use emojis anywhere in code, markup, text content, headings, or alt text. Replace with proper icons or clean SVG primitives.
  • DO NOT use generic placeholder names like "John Doe", "Acme Corp", or "Lorem Ipsum". Use realistic, contextual content.
  • DO NOT use AI copywriting clichés: "Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash", "Next-Gen", "Game-changer", "Delve". Write plain, specific language.

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.
