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

component-create-guide 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.

Component Creation Guide

Enhanced general-purpose component creation prompt with intelligent routing to specialized domain prompts for optimal results.

🎯 INTELLIGENT PROMPT ROUTING

Use Specialized Prompts First (Recommended)

Before using this general guide, consider if your component falls into these specialized domains:

📝 Form Components → Use component-create-form.mdc
  • Login/registration forms, contact forms, surveys
  • Multi-step wizards, data entry forms
  • Form validation, field groups, dynamic fields
  • When to use: Any component primarily focused on data collection and validation
🎨 UI Components → Use component-create-ui.mdc
  • Buttons, inputs, modals, tooltips, dropdowns
  • Badges, avatars, progress indicators, alerts
  • Interactive elements, animations, state variations
  • When to use: Reusable interface elements with variants and interactions
📐 Layout Components → Use component-create-layout.mdc
  • Headers, footers, sidebars, grid systems
  • Page layouts, section wrappers, containers
  • Responsive layouts, navigation structures
  • When to use: Components that structure and organize page content

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.
