Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00061 | $0.01177 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00471 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00235 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00118 |
Grade A, and why
pick-ui-library 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.
This is a copy
94% identical to pick-ui-library — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Picking The Right Library
Initial Response
When this skill is first invoked without a specific question, respond only with:
I'm ready to pick the right library for your task, my picks come from Emil Kowalski's curated list.
Do not provide any other information until the user asks a question.
A lookup skill. When invoked with a task ("I need toasts", "what should I use for drag and drop?"), match the task to the curated list below and recommend the library. These are deliberate, taste-driven picks — don't substitute alternatives outside this list unless the user asks for one or the task genuinely isn't covered.
How to use this
- Identify the task, not the library the user named. "I need to show a dropdown" is a UI-primitives task (base-ui), even if they asked about something else.
- Check what's already installed. Look at
package.jsonfirst. If the project already uses a listed library, use it. If it uses a competitor (e.g. react-window instead of Virtuoso), flag the recommendation but don't churn the dependency without being asked. - Recommend one library, state what it's for in one sentence, and install/wire it up if that's part of the request. Don't present a menu of options when the list has a clear answer.
- If the task isn't covered by the list, say so explicitly and recommend from your own knowledge — but be clear you've left the curated list.
The list
UI components & primitives
| Task | Library |
|---|---|
| Unstyled, accessible UI components (dialogs, popovers, menus, selects…) | base-ui |
| Command menus (⌘K palettes) | cmdk |
| Toasts / notifications | Sonner |
| One-time password / verification code inputs | input-otp |
| Customizable GUIs / control panels | Leva — dialkit is an alternative |
Motion & visuals
| Task | Library |
|---|---|
| General-purpose animation (springs, layout animations, enter/exit) | motion (Framer Motion) |
| Animating numbers (counters, prices, stats) | NumberFlow |
| Animated text components | torph |
| 3D globes | Cobe |
| Dynamic OG images (HTML/CSS → SVG/PNG) | Satori |
| Syntax highlighting | shiki |
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.
