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

minimalist-ui 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 10d 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.

Minimalist UI Protocol

Premium Utilitarian Minimalism & Editorial UI — refined, document-style interfaces with deliberate constraints.

Core Aesthetic

A high-contrast warm monochrome palette, bespoke typographic hierarchies, meticulous structural macro-whitespace, bento-grid layouts, and an ultra-flat component architecture.

Mantra: Every element must justify its existence. If it doesn't communicate, remove it.

Typographic Foundation

Font Selection

Role Options Notes
Body/UI SF Pro Display, Geist Sans, Switzer Geometric sans-serif
Headings Lyon Text, Newsreader, Playfair Display Editorial serif, tight tracking
Metadata/Mono Geist Mono, JetBrains Mono Data, timestamps, labels

Never use: Inter, Roboto, Open Sans — too generic.

Typography Rules

  • Off-black text: #111111 (never pure #000000)
  • Heading tracking: tight (letter-spacing: -0.02em)
  • Body line height: 1.6–1.7
  • Maximum 2 type sizes in any single component

Color Palette

Role Value Usage
Canvas #F7F6F3 Warm off-white background
Text primary #111111 Body text, headings
Text secondary #666666 Labels, metadata
Borders #EAEAEA Card borders, dividers
Accent Sparse pastel ONE desaturated accent only

Accent colors: pale red, pale blue, pale green, pale yellow — never saturated.

Component Specifications

Cards

.card {
  border: 1px solid #EAEAEA;

  box-shadow: 0 2px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06); /* ultra-soft, not harsh */

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.
