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

ionic-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 14d 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.

Ionic Framework Design

When to Use

TRIGGER when:

  • Writing or reviewing Ion* / ion-* components in a Capacitor app
  • Theming: --ion-color-*, dark mode, high contrast, per-platform styles
  • iOS vs Material Design mode looks wrong, or mode overrides misbehave
  • Upgrading Ionic 7/8 -> 9, or errors after npm i @ionic/*@latest
  • Choosing Ionic vs another UI kit for a new Capacitor app

Do not use:

  • Konsta UI components: konsta-ui
  • Tailwind v4 install / config: tailwind-capacitor
  • Notch / system bar padding outside Ionic: safe-area-handling
  • Keyboard covering inputs: capacitor-keyboard (Ionic apps use resize: 'ionic')
  • Leaving Appflow / Ionic Enterprise plugins: ionic-appflow-migration, ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration

Versions (October 2026)

Package Current Notes
@ionic/core, @ionic/react, @ionic/vue, @ionic/angular 9.x (latest) 8.x on v8-lts tag
ionicons 8.x
Ionic 9 minimums Capacitor 7+, iOS 16+, Android Chromium 89+, Angular 18-22, React 18/19 + React Router 6.4+, Vue 3.5 + vue-router 5, TypeScript 5.4+

Check installed versions first: npm ls @ionic/core @ionic/react @ionic/vue @ionic/angular. Write code for the installed major; do not mix v8 and v9 APIs.

Workflow

  1. Inspect framework, Ionic major, router version, global CSS imports, setupIonicReact / IonicVue / provideIonicAngular config, capacitor.config Keyboard.resize.
  2. Upgrading? Load references/ionic-9-migration.md; run npx @ionic/migrate in preview first, report findings, then apply.
  3. Components: references/components.md for page shell, lists, forms, overlays, tabs.
  4. Theming: references/theming.md for colors, dark/high-contrast palettes, mode-specific CSS, shadow parts.
  5. Verify in both modes and on devices (below).

Only load a reference when its topic is in play.

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.
