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

21st-registry 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to 21st-registry — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 354 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Publish & manage on the 21st registry

Publish components, themes and templates to 21st.dev, and manage what you've already published, all through the unified 21st CLI (@21st-dev/cli).

Pre-flight (always)

  1. Authenticate before publishing. Component publishing, inventory, checkout, metadata editing, and unpublishing accept either a 21st login session or a 21st_sk_… API key. Theme/template commands still require a real API key from https://21st.dev/settings/api-keys, passed via --api-key, TWENTYFIRST_TOKEN, or API_KEY_21ST.
  2. The CLI is the unified @21st-dev/cli (bin 21st). Don't reinvent — use it.
  3. Search before publishing (21st search "<query>") so you don't add a duplicate to the library.

Find existing components and drafts

Start here when the user asks to continue or edit old component work:

21st components
21st components --status draft --scope personal --json
21st open component:123
21st open draft:<uuid> --no-open

21st components drains both independently paginated collections by default, so an unfiltered run returns every accessible personal or Team component and every owned draft. Narrow it with --status all|draft|published|private or --scope all|personal|team:<uuid>. Keep the returned stable component:<id> or draft:<uuid> reference; do not substitute a slug.

21st open draft:<uuid> resumes an editable Studio draft. 21st open component:<id> creates or resumes a server-owned CLI Review revision from the retained published component code and demos. The live component stays unchanged until that revision is published. Fresh covers are required, while optional video generation runs best-effort in the background. --no-open creates or resumes the workspace and prints its URL without launching a browser.

Use a local file when the source is already changed:

21st publish ./Component.tsx \
  --component component:123 \
  --description "What changed"

Never replace the stable ref with a same-slug guess. Only the original component author can check out code. A Team manager can still edit or unpublish a teammate's component metadata by stable ref.

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.
