Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00147 | $0.00147 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00073 | $0.00073 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00029 | $0.00029 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00015 |
Grade A, and why
best-practices 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 5d 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
- shadcn/ui components live in your project at @/components/ui/ - never import from @shadcn/ui or any external package
- Use cn() utility from @/lib/utils for merging Tailwind classes - never use template literals for conditional classes
- Use React Hook Form + Zod for all forms with shadcn Form components - never use uncontrolled forms or manual validation
- Use CSS variables for theming - never hardcode colors in components
- Use cva (class-variance-authority) for component variants - never use complex conditional class logic
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.

best-practices is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository ofershap/shadcn-best-practices (0 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 147 tokens to every session, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
