principle-exhaust-the-design-space is a skill for Claude Code from chhoumann/t3-pstack. It costs 41 tokens per session (78 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design decision guideline for building two or three different prototypes before choosing a new interaction or architecture. A prototype is a quick trial used to compare ideas before committing to production code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for unfamiliar user-interface interactions and architectural choices, comparing competing prototypes side by side before implementation.
Why use it?
It helps reveal differences in usability and structure that are difficult to predict from a single design or discussion.

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

principle-exhaust-the-design-space 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 yesterday.

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.

Exhaust the Design Space

It also applies to product design decisions where user experience depends on feel, not logic.

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.
