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

frontend-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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/accessibility_checker.py, scripts/ux_audit.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Frontend Design System

Philosophy: Every pixel has purpose. Restraint is luxury. User psychology drives decisions. Core Principle: THINK, don't memorize. ASK, don't assume.


🎯 Progressive Disclosure & L3 Reference Index

Read REQUIRED core logic below; consult deep L3 Reference Guides on demand:

L3 Reference Guide Purpose Trigger / When to Load
ux-psychology.md Behavioral laws (Hick's, Fitts', Miller's, Von Restorff) Psychology, emotional design, trust building
color-system.md 60-30-10 palette rules, contrast scales, dark obsidian tints Palette selection & theme generation
typography-system.md Golden ratio scaling (φ=1.618), pairing sans/display/mono Typography hierarchy & font pairing
visual-effects.md Elevation shadows, tinted borders, glassmorphism boundaries Surface depth & background effects
animation-guide.md Micro-interactions, ease-out/ease-in curves, transforms State transitions & feedback
motion-graphics.md Advanced Lottie, GSAP, Canvas, and 3D visualizers Complex dashboard motion & spatial maps
decision-trees.md Full industry & persona decision matrices Template scaffolding & product archetypes

⚠️ 1. Mandatory Socratic Gate (Ask Before Assuming)

If user specifications are open-ended, STOP and ask before defaulting to generic designs:

  1. Palette Direction: "What color palette or brand mood do you prefer? (Obsidian/Emerald, Deep Navy/Cyan, Warm Amber, Brutalist Flat?)"
  2. Design Archetype: "What visual style fits this best? (Minimalist SaaS, Dense Developer Tool, High-Contrast Editorial, Luxury Restrained?)"
  3. Layout Preference: "What layout hierarchy is preferred? (Single-column narrative, Multi-pane workspace, Grid dashboard, Asymmetric?)"

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.
