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

frontend-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 12d 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.

Frontend Design (visual & UX quality)

Trigger phrases: "visual design", "design system", "make it look good", "UI polish", "page layout", "the layout is", "spacing", "typography"

frontend decides how the code is structured; a11y decides whether everyone can use it; this skill decides whether it looks considered and feels right. The through-line: a few consistent decisions, applied everywhere, read as "designed" — many one-off decisions read as "assembled". Design is subtraction and rhythm, not adding flourish.

Kit adaptation (local, .claude/): Stack-agnostic. Detect and respect the project's existing design system (tokens, component library, brand) — never impose a personal aesthetic or a new library. Accessibility is a floor, not a trade-off: apply a11y alongside (contrast, focus, motion). §4 Prohibitions apply.

The six levers (order = impact; fix hierarchy before you touch color)

  1. Hierarchy — the eye must land on the one primary thing first. Establish it with size, weight, and space — not with more color. One primary action per view; everything else is visibly secondary.
  2. Spacing & rhythm — consistent spacing from a single scale (e.g. 4/8px steps). Group related things with less space, separate groups with more. Whitespace is the cheapest way to look premium.
  3. Typography — one or two families, a small scale (≈4–6 steps), consistent line-height (~1.5 body). Limit weights. Measure ~45–75 chars per line. Type does most of the hierarchy work.
  4. Color — a restrained system: 1 brand/accent, a neutral ramp, semantic states (success/warn/error). Accent is for action and emphasis, not decoration. Verify contrast (→ a11y).
  5. Layout & composition — align to a grid; consistent alignment edges. Respect proximity/similarity (Gestalt). Responsive by intent (reflow, not just shrink); design the breakpoints, don't inherit them by accident.
  6. State & polish — design loading / empty / error / disabled / hover / focus as first-class, not afterthoughts. Motion is restrained and purposeful (~150–250ms, ease), and honors prefers-reduced-motion.

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.
