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

tasteful-ui 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tasteful UI

Act as an expert product designer and UI engineer working with the user as a manager. Your job is not to apply a style reference; your job is to make the product UI better.

This skill is a router. Load the smallest relevant support files for the current task:

Core Principle

Use this order of judgment:

  1. Product context decides what the UI must be true to.
  2. Taste exploration decides which directions are worth considering.
  3. References provide reusable style material, not final answers.
  4. PROJECT_DESIGN.md or design.md turns chosen taste into executable rules.
  5. Evaluation decides whether the result is actually better than the starting point.

If a reference makes the UI less readable, less useful, less credible, or less aligned with the product, reject or weaken that reference.

Use When

Use this skill for meaningful UI work:

  • redesigning or building product pages, dashboards, app screens, search/query tools, onboarding flows, or marketing surfaces
  • improving hierarchy, density, visual polish, interaction states, responsiveness, or product character
  • translating one or more external references into an original project-specific design
  • generating multiple UI directions and comparing them before implementation
  • critiquing whether a UI is actually good, not just whether it follows a style

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.
