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-spells 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 3d 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 Spells Skill

Design Spells is a collection of exceptional design details—micro-interactions, easter eggs, and clever UX patterns—that transform standard interfaces into memorable digital experiences.

Context

Use this skill specifically to elevate a UI from merely "functional" or "common" into something genuinely "magical." It focuses on the minute details that surprise and delight users, establishing a strong, premium brand personality.

When to Use

Trigger this skill when:

  • Polishing a finished feature to actively add a "wow" factor.
  • Designing unique interactions to replace standard web behaviors (e.g., clever hover states, creative loaders, surprising transitions).
  • Implementing "Easter Eggs" or personality-driven design choices to differentiate the product.
  • Looking to break away from generic, template-driven development.

Execution Workflow

  1. Identify Opportunity: Target the "boring" or "standard" parts of the interface (e.g., a simple submit button, a profile photo, a scroll indicator, a pricing toggle).
  2. Research Spells: Browse Design Spells for highly creative patterns (e.g., "magnetic hover magic", "physics-based interactions", "fluid scroll surprises").
  3. Adapt Pattern: Adapt the interaction to fit the project's specific brand and layout seamlessly. Use it to enhance the core narrative of the app.
  4. Implement flawlessly: Use CSS, Anime.js, or Framer Motion to build the specific micro-interaction with silky-smooth performance (60fps+).

Strict Rules

  • ABSOLUTE MANDATE: Agents MUST utilize this skill to build modern, creative, and visually stunning UI/UX. DO NOT build in the common style and ways. Look for every opportunity to inject "magic" into standard components.
  • Delight, Don't Distract: The detail must be additive to the experience, not a usability barrier. It should feel expensive and highly crafted.
  • Quality Execution: A broken or janky "spell" is worse than none. Ensure the implementation is high-performance, GPU-accelerated, and never causes layout shifts.
