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 1mo 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.

Rails Styling with TailwindCSS

Core Philosophy

  • Use utility-first CSS for rapid development
  • Avoid writing custom CSS when utilities exist
  • Keep styling consistent across the application
  • Design mobile-first, enhance for desktop
  • Let TailwindCSS handle the complexity

TailwindCSS Principles

  • Compose styles using utility classes
  • Avoid premature abstraction into components
  • Use consistent spacing and sizing scales
  • Leverage TailwindCSS's design system
  • Keep HTML as the source of truth for styling

Configuration Strategy

  • Extend default theme rather than replacing it
  • Define custom colors sparingly
  • Use CSS variables for dynamic theming
  • Configure content paths correctly
  • Keep configuration minimal

Rails Integration

  • Use Tailwind's standalone CLI approach
  • Configure asset pipeline integration properly
  • Set up proper purging for production
  • Use Rails helpers with Tailwind classes
  • Keep build process simple

Utility-First Approach

  • Start with utilities before extracting components
  • Use modifier classes for responsive design
  • Apply state modifiers directly in HTML
  • Leverage arbitrary values when needed
  • Keep utility usage consistent

Component Patterns

  • Extract components only when truly reusable
  • Use @apply sparingly and deliberately
  • Keep extracted components simple
  • Document component patterns clearly
  • Prefer composition over complex components

Responsive Design

  • Design mobile-first always
  • Use breakpoint prefixes consistently
  • Test at all breakpoint sizes
  • Consider touch targets on mobile
  • Optimize for common device sizes

Color Management

  • Use Tailwind's color palette
  • Define semantic color names
  • Maintain consistent color usage
  • Support dark mode properly
  • Test color accessibility

Typography System

  • Use Tailwind's typography scale
  • Keep font sizes consistent
  • Implement proper line heights
  • Use appropriate font weights
  • Consider readability always

Spacing Guidelines

  • Use Tailwind's spacing scale exclusively
  • Keep spacing consistent throughout
  • Apply spacing systematically
  • Use negative margins carefully
  • Document spacing decisions

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.
