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 | $0.00090 | $0.04411 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00045 | $0.02205 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00882 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00441 |
Grade A, and why
shadcn scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
91% identical to shadcn — 55 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 249 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
shadcn/ui
A framework for building ui, components and design systems. Components are added as source code to the user's project via the CLI.
IMPORTANT: Run all CLI commands using the project's package runner:
npx shadcn@latest,pnpm dlx shadcn@latest, orbunx --bun shadcn@latest— based on the project'spackageManager. Examples below usenpx shadcn@latestbut substitute the correct runner for the project.
Current Project Context
!`f() { local dir="${1:-.}"; if [ -f "$dir/components.json" ]; then npx shadcn@latest info --json -c "$dir"; return; fi; for d in $(find . -maxdepth 3 -name "components.json" -not -path "*/node_modules/*" 2>/dev/null | head -5 | xargs -I{} dirname {}); do npx shadcn@latest info --json -c "$d"; return; done; npx shadcn@latest info --json; }; f`
The JSON above contains the project config and installed components. Use npx shadcn@latest docs <component> to get documentation and example URLs for any component.
Monorepo note: In monorepos,
components.jsonlives in a subdirectory (e.g.web/). The context above auto-detects it by searching up to 3 levels deep. If auto-detect fails or you need a specific workspace, pass-c <path>explicitly:npx shadcn@latest info -c web --json. Never runnpx shadcn@latest infofrom a monorepo root without-c— it will error.
Principles
- Use existing components first. Use
npx shadcn@latest searchto check registries before writing custom UI. Check community registries too. - Compose, don't reinvent. Settings page = Tabs + Card + form controls. Dashboard = Sidebar + Card + Chart + Table.
- Use built-in variants before custom styles.
variant="outline",size="sm", etc. - Use semantic colors.
bg-primary,text-muted-foreground— never raw values likebg-blue-500.
Critical Rules
These rules are always enforced. Each links to a file with Incorrect/Correct code pairs.
Styling & Tailwind → styling.md
What ships with it
12 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

shadcn is a skill published in the GitHub repository dinhtungdu/tangerine (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 4,411 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to shadcn, differing in 55 lines, and is treated as a copy.
