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

design-trend-analyzer 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 11d 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 Catalog Integration

This skill references the design catalog at website/design-catalog/:

  • color-palettes.json - 15 curated palettes with verified WCAG ratios
  • typography-systems.json - 11 typography systems with scale ratios

Always verify contrast ratios using the WCAG formula rather than hardcoding values.

  • Best for: SaaS products, creator tools, indie projects, startups wanting to stand out
  • Examples: Gumroad, Figma marketing, Linear
  • Catalog palettes: neobrutalism-primary, neobrutalism-dark

2. Swiss Modern Revival (High Popularity)

  • Era: 2023-2025
  • Characteristics: Clean grid systems, generous whitespace, stark contrasts, mathematical precision
  • Colors: Primarily black/white with strategic brand colors, minimal palette
  • Typography: Inter, Helvetica, Neue Haas; strict hierarchy with scale ratios (1.25)
  • Best for: Enterprise, fintech, professional services, documentation
  • Examples: Stripe, Linear app, Vercel
