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

tailwind-patterns 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/tailwind_auditor.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.

Tailwind CSS v4 Engineering Patterns

Standard: Tailwind CSS v4 (Oxide engine, CSS-first @theme configuration).
Core Principle: Configure in CSS custom properties; write mobile-first responsive utilities; design with semantic design tokens.
Workflow Bindings: Integrated into /create and /ui-ux-pro-max.

Mobile-First Breakpoints

Base (Mobile) ➔ sm (640px) ➔ md (768px) ➔ lg (1024px) ➔ xl (1280px)
  • Write base classes for mobile without prefixes: class="w-full md:w-1/2 lg:w-1/3".
  • Use container queries (@container, @md:...) for modular UI components embedded in dynamic grids.
