    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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

ux-polish 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 12d 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.

UX Polish

Workflow

  1. Parse $ARGUMENTS{subcommand} + {target} + options. Default subcommand = polish. Missing target → AskUserQuestion.

  2. Resolve target — in order:

    • Exact file path → use directly
    • Directory path → Glob *.html in it
    • Subject name → Glob dev/ux/wireframes/{target}/*.html
    • Nothing found → AskUserQuestion
  3. Load context:

    • Glob dev/ux/design-system.yaml → read design tokens (required for colorize/polish)
    • Glob biz/ux/empathy-map-{subject}.md → emotional tone hints (optional)
    • Missing design system on polish/colorize → AskUserQuestion or create defaults
  4. Read HTML — Read each target file. Assess current state.

  5. Execute subcommand — Read references/design-rules.md first, then apply per subcommand:

Analysis subcommands (read-only)

Subcommand Action Reference sections
audit Report all design issues: contrast failures, spacing inconsistencies, anti-pattern violations (§3), heuristic violations (§10). Output structured markdown report grouped by severity. §1-3, §10
critique Opinionated design suggestions with priority ranking. Like audit but prescriptive — "increase CTA size by 20%", "add shadow to separate card from background". Include rationale from Gestalt/hierarchy principles. §1-3, §10

Modification subcommands (write files)

Subcommand Focus What to apply Reference sections
polish Full pass — the "do everything" command Typography + color + spacing + motion + interaction + responsive. Apply all rules. All sections
colorize Color only Read design-system.yaml palette. Apply color harmony algorithm (§5): analogous secondary, complementary accent, tinted neutrals, semantic colors. Test WCAG AA contrast. Apply 60-30-10 rule. §5, §3 color anti-patterns
typeset Typography only Font pairing (serif+sans), modular scale, line-height per size, measure (45-75ch body, 20-35ch hero), tracking, OpenType features (tabular-nums, small-caps, hanging-punctuation), baseline grid. §4, §3 typography anti-patterns
space Spacing only Apply 4px scale system. Fix Gestalt Proximity violations (space within group < space between groups). Vertical rhythm. White space hierarchy (micro/meso/macro). Section breathing room. §6, §1 Gestalt, §2 White Space
animate Motion only Add CSS transitions: hover states (100-150ms ease-out), focus-visible, enter/exit animations (ease-out/ease-in), stagger siblings (+50ms), skeleton loading. Include prefers-reduced-motion. §7, §8 interaction states
adapt Responsive only Mobile-first breakpoints (375/768/1024/1440). Container queries. Touch targets 44px. Thumb zone. Stack columns on mobile. Fluid typography with clamp(). Max content width 1200px. §9
bolder Increase assertiveness Increase type scale ratio, strengthen contrast, enlarge CTAs, add bolder shadows, increase font-weight on headings, more saturated primary color. Push Von Restorff effect. §2 hierarchy, §4, §5
quieter Reduce visual noise Desaturate palette toward monochromatic, increase whitespace, reduce border-radius variation, soften shadows, lighter font-weights on non-critical elements, remove decorative elements. §2 hierarchy, §5 monochromatic, §6 macro whitespace
delight Add micro-delights Subtle hover animations beyond defaults, success state celebrations (checkmark animation), empty state illustrations/messages, loading skeleton with brand-tinted pulse, stagger entrance on list items. §7 motion, §8 affordance, §11 UX writing
extract Reverse-engineer design system Parse all CSS values from HTML. Identify color palette, font families, spacing values, border-radius values. Detect inconsistencies (ad-hoc values). Generate dev/ux/design-system.yaml with detected tokens. Report deviations. §12

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.
