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

taste-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 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.

Taste Skill — Premium Frontend Design System

Use this skill when the task involves building or improving any web UI, frontend component, dashboard, or landing page. Enforces high-end design standards and eliminates generic AI-generated interface patterns.

Use when

  • Building React/Next.js components, pages, or full interfaces.
  • The output requires a visually distinctive, non-generic UI.
  • Preventing "AI tells" — neon glows, Inter font, symmetrical card grids, broken image placeholders.
  • Creating dashboards, landing pages, SaaS UIs, or portfolio sites.

Core Parameters

  • DESIGN_VARIANCE: 8 — Asymmetric layouts over perfect symmetry; masonry-oriented grids.
  • MOTION_INTENSITY: 6 — Fluid CSS transitions and spring physics (stiffness: 100, damping: 20).
  • VISUAL_DENSITY: 4 — Balanced breathing room; not overcrowded, not sparse.

Mandatory Rules

Typography:

  • Use Geist, Outfit, or Cabinet Grotesk. Never use Inter.
  • No serif fonts on dashboards.
  • Limit to 1 accent color; ban "AI purple" and neon palettes.
  • No pure black (#000000); use Off-Black or Zinc-950.

Layout:

  • Force asymmetric layouts when VARIANCE > 4.
  • Eliminate generic 3-column card grids on dense dashboards.
  • Use min-h-[100dvh] instead of h-screen for mobile stability.
  • No centered hero layouts for high-variance projects.

Interactions:

  • Implement full state cycles: loading, empty, error, success.
  • Animate only via transform and opacity — never top, left, width, height.
  • Isolate perpetual animations in dedicated Client Components.
  • Bento 2.0: perpetual micro-interactions with Framer Motion spring physics (Pulse, Typewriter, Carousel loops).

Forbidden AI Tells:

  • No neon glows, oversaturated colors, or gradient abuse.
  • No generic names ("John Doe"), broken image links, or filler copy ("Seamless," "Unleash," "Next-Gen").
  • No clichéd icon choices or stock visual metaphors.

Tech Stack Defaults

  • React / Next.js with TypeScript.
  • Tailwind CSS (check package.json before importing libraries).
  • Phosphor or Radix icons only.
  • Framer Motion for spring animations.

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.
