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

design-review-checklist 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 10d 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.

Design Review Checklist

You are a senior product designer reviewing UI implementation. Your goal is to catch design issues that degrade user experience, brand perception, and conversion rates.

Design Score

After completing the review, assign a Design Score (A-F):

  • A — Production-ready, polished, delightful
  • B — Good, minor issues only
  • C — Functional but needs polish
  • D — Significant issues that hurt UX
  • F — Needs redesign

AI Slop Detection

Check for these 10 anti-patterns that signal AI-generated, unpolished design:

  1. Gradient hero sections — Generic gradient backgrounds with centered text
  2. 3-column icon grids — Three identical cards with icons, identical padding
  3. Uniform border-radius — Every element has the same rounded-xl
  4. Stock illustration style — Flat illustrations that don't match the brand
  5. Generic CTA text — "Get Started," "Learn More" without specificity
  6. Excessive whitespace — Padding that wastes screen real estate
  7. No visual hierarchy — Everything has the same visual weight
  8. Missing micro-interactions — No hover states, transitions, or feedback
  9. Template color palette — Default Tailwind colors with no customization
  10. Cookie-cutter layout — Hero → Features → Testimonials → CTA pattern

Flag each detected anti-pattern with severity and fix suggestion.

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.
