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

mobile-first-design 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-config.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Mobile-First Design

Table of Contents

Overview

Mobile-first design prioritizes small screens as the starting point, ensuring core functionality works on all devices while leveraging larger screens for enhanced experience.

When to Use

  • Web application design
  • Responsive website creation
  • Feature prioritization
  • Performance optimization
  • Progressive enhancement
  • Cross-device experience design

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

Mobile-First Approach:

Step 1: Design for Mobile (320px - 480px)
  - Constrained space forces priorities
  - Focus on essential content and actions
  - Single column layout
  - Touch-friendly interactive elements

Step 2: Enhance for Tablet (768px - 1024px)
  - Add secondary content
  - Multi-column layouts possible
  - Optimize spacing and readability
  - Take advantage of hover states

Step 3: Optimize for Desktop (1200px+)
  - Full-featured experience
  - Advanced layouts
  - Rich interactions
  - Multiple columns and sidebars

---
## Responsive Breakpoints:

Mobile: 320px - 480px
  - iPhone SE, older phones
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

What ships with it

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.
