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-critique 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 11d 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 Critique Skill (UH Mānoa brand-anchored)

Critique a branded artifact against this repo's brand system and flag the generic patterns that make materials look machine-made rather than institutionally on-brand. Advisory only — you report and prioritize; the user applies the fixes.

Brand anchor (the ground truth)

Read docs/_branding/design.json for the full token set; use docs/_branding/design-system.html as the visual reference. If creating rather than critiquing, defer to the brand-guidelines skill. Load-bearing values (from CLAUDE.md → verify against design.json, which wins on conflict):

  • Primary: UH Green #024731 — logos, headings, accents.
  • Secondary: Black #000000 — body text, borders.
  • Typography: Open Sans (Bold headings, Regular body); Avenir for print.
  • Accessibility: ADA-compliant contrast ratios required; minimum 10pt body text.

Input modes (auto-detect from the argument shape)

  • File mode — a path to an .html, .md, or an unpacked/described Office artifact. Read it directly; for .pptx/.docx/.pdf use the pptx/docx/pdf skills to extract structure and text.
  • Live mode — a http(s):// or localhost: URL. Fetch and inspect the rendered page.

Scoring — five UH-anchored dimensions (0–5 each)

Dimension What earns a high score
Brand fidelity Uses #024731 UH Green and the correct type families where the tokens prescribe; no off-palette accent colors
Contrast & accessibility Text/background pairs meet ADA contrast; body text ≥ 10pt; not relying on color alone to convey meaning
Hierarchy & restraint Clear heading levels; whitespace used deliberately; not every element competing for attention
Voice & specificity Concrete, figure-cited copy (the writing-style convention: lead with a tight executive summary, active voice); not vague filler
Institutional fit Reads as a Shidler / UH Mānoa course artifact, not a generic template

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.
