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

creative-tim-ui 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 2d 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 Philosophy

Across 300+ products and categories, Creative Tim has applied the same discipline: identify what developers actually need, build that exceptionally well, and cut everything else. That restraint is the core of the library.

When generating or modifying blocks, follow these principles:

The 95% Rule — build the common case exceptionally well. Don't add configuration, abstraction, or flexibility for problems that rarely exist. A developer should be able to read a block and immediately understand what it does.

The "Light" Principle — a block is finished when there is nothing left to remove, not when there is nothing left to add. Question every wrapper div, every prop, every animation, every icon. If the block works without it, it probably should.

Research before rendering — ask what the person looking at this screen is trying to do. A dashboard surfaces the number someone needs to act on. A form collects information with the least possible resistance. Design toward the purpose, not toward the surface.

Build on foundations — shadcn/ui primitives (Card, Table, Button, Badge) are well-designed and maintained. Compose them; don't reimplement them. The Creative Tim contribution is in the composition and the judgment, not in the primitives.

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
