tier-guide

A guide for choosing between Lite, Standard, and Premium versions of a UI component library. It compares bundle size, animations, effects, form features, container queries, and framework support.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding which UI-kit tier or import path fits an app's performance and feature requirements, including when mixing tiers.
Why use it?
It helps avoid choosing a package version that is too large or lacks a needed feature.

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.

Or install ui-kit, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 5 skills, 2 agents, 1 hook.

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

tier-guide 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 2d 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.

Decision Matrix

Question Lite Standard Premium
Bundle size critical? Yes Moderate No

Import Paths

// Lite — CSS-only wrappers, ~0.3-1.2 KB each
import { Button, Card, Badge } from '@annondeveloper/ui-kit/lite'

// Standard — full features, ~2-5 KB each (DEFAULT)
import { Button, Card, Badge } from '@annondeveloper/ui-kit'

// Premium — aurora effects, ~3-6 KB each
import { Button, Card, Badge } from '@annondeveloper/ui-kit/premium'

Mixing Tiers

You can mix tiers in the same app:

import { Button } from '@annondeveloper/ui-kit/premium'    // Hero CTA — premium
import { Card } from '@annondeveloper/ui-kit'               // Cards — standard
import { Badge } from '@annondeveloper/ui-kit/lite'         // Badges — lite (many on page)

Bundle Impact

Tier Single Component Full Library
Lite 0.3-1.2 KB ~18 KB
Standard 2-5 KB ~163 KB
Premium 3-6 KB ~180 KB

Tree-shaking works across all tiers — import only what you use.

Changes

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.
