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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00026 | $0.01820 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00728 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00364 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00182 |
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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
84% identical to tailwind-patterns — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Tailwind CSS Patterns (v4 - 2025)
Modern utility-first CSS with CSS-native configuration.
1. Tailwind v4 Architecture
What Changed from v3
| v3 (Legacy) | v4 (Current) |
|---|---|
tailwind.config.js |
CSS-based @theme directive |
| PostCSS plugin | Oxide engine (10x faster) |
| JIT mode | Native, always-on |
| Plugin system | CSS-native features |
@apply directive |
Still works, discouraged |
v4 Core Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| CSS-first | Configuration in CSS, not JavaScript |
| Oxide Engine | Rust-based compiler, much faster |
| Native Nesting | CSS nesting without PostCSS |
| CSS Variables | All tokens exposed as --* vars |
2. CSS-Based Configuration
Theme Definition
@theme {
/* Colors - use semantic names */
--color-primary: oklch(0.7 0.15 250);
--color-surface: oklch(0.98 0 0);
--color-surface-dark: oklch(0.15 0 0);
/* Spacing scale */
--spacing-xs: 0.25rem;
--spacing-sm: 0.5rem;
--spacing-md: 1rem;
--spacing-lg: 2rem;
/* Typography */
--font-sans: 'Inter', system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-mono: 'JetBrains Mono', monospace;
}
When to Extend vs Override
| Action | Use When |
|---|---|
| Extend | Adding new values alongside defaults |
| Override | Replacing default scale entirely |
| Semantic tokens | Project-specific naming (primary, surface) |
3. Container Queries (v4 Native)
Breakpoint vs Container
| Type | Responds To |
|---|---|
Breakpoint (md:) |
Viewport width |
Container (@container) |
Parent element width |
Container Query Usage
| Pattern | Classes |
|---|---|
| Define container | @container on parent |
| Container breakpoint | @sm:, @md:, @lg: on children |
| Named containers | @container/card for specificity |
When to Use
| Scenario | Use |
|---|---|
| Page-level layouts | Viewport breakpoints |
| Component-level responsive | Container queries |
| Reusable components | Container queries (context-independent) |
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.

tailwind-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository diillson/chatcli (93 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 1,820 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 84% identical to tailwind-patterns, differing in 10 lines, and is treated as a copy.

A design guide for an agent status bar: a short, automatically updated summary of progress, remaining tasks, tool counts, errors, and system state placed near the latest model input.
reward-design
A guide to defining the scores that an AI agent receives during trial-and-error training. It covers checks based on rules, human preferences, or another model, and distinguishes rewarding the final result from rewarding the steps taken.
post-training-strategy
A guide to choosing and planning ways to improve an AI model after its initial training. It explains when to add knowledge, teach a response format, use trial-and-error training, or use a smaller model to learn from a larger one.
ai-style
A Chinese-language writing guide for producing or revising reader-facing text such as product announcements, public-account articles, emails, and README files. It focuses on reducing patterns that make writing sound machine-generated.

A guide to making an AI agent improve from its past runs. It covers how to judge results, extract reusable lessons, and decide whether to store them as knowledge, instructions, code, or model training.
