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.

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 | $0.00160 | $0.01322 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00064 | $0.00529 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00264 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00132 |
Grade A, and why
21st-cli-use scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 129 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
21st CLI — find, install & generate from the terminal
The 21st CLI (npx @21st-dev/cli, bin 21st) is the command-line surface for
the 21st.dev catalog. Search first, install what fits, and only hand-write UI
when nothing matches. To publish your own components/themes/templates, use
the 21st-registry skill; to publish a project's design as a theme, use
21st-design-sync.
Auth (do this once)
Two interchangeable credentials, both sent as the API key:
- Login session —
npx @21st-dev/cli loginopens the browser and saves a token to~/.config/21st/auth.json. Best for interactive/dev machines. - API key —
21st_sk_…from https://21st.dev/mcp (or https://21st.dev/settings/api-keys). Pass via--api-key <key>or theTWENTYFIRST_TOKEN/API_KEY_21STenv var. Best for CI.
21st whoami shows the signed-in account; 21st usage shows retrieval
tier/quota and the 21st AI generation status, not an AI credit balance.
For structured status, use MCP get_usage.aiGenerationEnabled or CLI 1.17.1+
21st usage --json. Missing or unknown status does not grant AI access. 21st logout
clears the saved login.
Metering
Metadata (search, previews, a theme's CSS) is free. Retrieving component
code (21st get, install) has a free daily quota; Builder includes
unlimited retrieval. Hosted 21st AI requires separate AI access and consumes
AI credits. Base Builder has AI off. Check 21st usage before choosing
generation: when AI is not explicitly enabled, search and retrieve code,
then adapt it with your own coding agent. Do not retry a generation denied
with ai_subscription_required until AI access is enabled.

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.

21st-cli-use is a skill published in the GitHub repository 21st-dev/codex-plugin (10 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 160 tokens to every session and 1,322 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 100% identical to 21st-cli-use, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
