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

minimalist-skill 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.

Minimalist Skill — Premium Editorial Minimalism

Use this skill when the task calls for a refined, typographic-first, Notion/Linear-inspired interface. Produces clean, data-dense UIs with strong visual hierarchy through typography and whitespace alone.

Use when

  • Building productivity tools, documentation sites, or admin dashboards.
  • The design needs to feel premium without heavy decoration.
  • Notion, Linear, or editorial publication aesthetic is the goal.
  • Reducing visual noise while maintaining clarity and hierarchy.

Typography Framework

  • Sans-serif UI: SF Pro Display, Geist Sans, or Helvetica Neue.
  • Editorial headline serif: Lyon Text, Newsreader, or Playfair Display with tight tracking.
  • Monospace: Geist Mono or SF Mono.
  • Body text: charcoal (#111111) — never pure black. Generous line-height.
  • Forbidden fonts: Inter, Roboto, Open Sans.

Color Strategy

  • Warm monochrome base with ultra-desaturated accent pastels.
  • Accent pastels: pale red, blue, green, or yellow — below 30% saturation.
  • Borders: 1px solid #EAEAEA consistently.
  • No large colored backgrounds.
  • No gradients, neon, or heavy shadows.

Layout Rules

  • Generous padding (40–80px vertical rhythm).
  • Cards: 8–12px border-radius, 24–40px padding.
  • No pill-shaped containers for large elements.
  • Restrict color use to 1 accent per view.
  • Typographic contrast IS the primary design tool.

Component Patterns

  • Primary buttons: solid #111111, minimal hover (opacity shift or subtle border).
  • Accordions: no container boxes; bottom-border separators only.
  • Tables: borderless rows with alternating subtle backgrounds.
  • Forms: label above, full-width input, 1px border, generous padding.

Animation

  • Subtle only: fade + translate on scroll entry, 600ms, cubic-bezier easing.
  • Animate only transform and opacity.
  • No auto-playing, looping, or decorative animations.

Forbidden

  • Lucide, Feather, or generic Heroicons.
  • Gradients, heavy shadows, neon colors.
  • Pill-shaped buttons on large elements.
  • Symmetrical hero sections.

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.
