Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00111 | $0.01368 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00044 | $0.00547 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00274 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00137 |
Grade A, and why
phoenix-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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
phoenix-design — taste is the differentiator, polished with evidence
Encodes Emil Kowalski's design-engineering philosophy: in a world where everyone's software is good enough, taste is the differentiator, and unseen details compound into interfaces people love without knowing why. Phoenix adds the verify-heal discipline so polish ships without regressing build/lint/behavior.
Core philosophy
- Taste is trained, not innate. Reverse-engineer great interfaces; understand why they feel right.
- Unseen details compound. Users rarely notice them consciously — that's the point. The aggregate of invisible correctness is what makes software feel stunning.
- Beauty is leverage. People pick tools on the whole experience. Good defaults + good motion stand out.
The Animation Decision Framework (answer in order, before writing any animation)
1. Should this animate at all?
| Frequency | Decision |
|---|---|
| 100+×/day (keyboard shortcuts, command palette) | No animation. Ever. |
| Tens of ×/day (hover, list nav) | Remove or drastically reduce |
| Occasional (modals, drawers, toasts) | Standard animation |
| Rare/first-time (onboarding, celebration) | Can add delight |
Never animate keyboard-initiated actions — they repeat hundreds of times a day; animation makes them feel slow. (Raycast has no open/close animation. That's optimal for something used constantly.)
2. What is the purpose?
Every animation needs a clear answer to "why does this animate?" Valid: spatial consistency, state indication, explanation, feedback. No purpose → no animation.
3. What curve & properties?
- Animate specific properties (
transform,opacity) — neverall(janky, animates the unexpected). ease-outfor things entering / responding to user action (instant feedback).ease-infeels sluggish for UI. Custom curves for personality.- Nothing appears from nothing: enter with
scale(0.95)+opacity, notscale(0). - Respond to press: interactive elements get an
:activestate (transform: scale(0.97)). - Scale from origin: popovers/dropdowns scale from their trigger (
transform-origin), modals stay centered. - Honor

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.

phoenix-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository All-The-Vibes/ATV-Phoenix (6 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 111 tokens to every session and 1,368 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
