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

visual-companion 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 4 executable files (scripts/helper.js, scripts/server.cjs, scripts/start-server.sh, …), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 320 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Visual Companion

Browser-based visual companion for rendering mockups, diagrams, and interactive options. The server watches a directory for HTML files and serves the newest one to the browser. You write HTML content, the user sees it in their browser and can click to select options.

When to Use

Decide per-question, not per-session. The test: would the user understand this better by seeing it than reading it?

Use the browser when the content itself is visual:

  • UI mockups -- wireframes, layouts, navigation structures, component designs
  • Architecture diagrams -- system components, data flow, relationship maps
  • Side-by-side visual comparisons -- comparing two layouts, two color schemes, two design directions
  • Design polish -- when the question is about look and feel, spacing, visual hierarchy
  • Spatial relationships -- state machines, flowcharts, entity relationships rendered as diagrams

Use the terminal when the content is text or tabular:

  • Requirements and scope questions -- "what does X mean?", "which features are in scope?"
  • Conceptual A/B/C choices -- picking between approaches described in words
  • Tradeoff lists -- pros/cons, comparison tables
  • Technical decisions -- API design, data modeling, architectural approach selection
  • Clarifying questions -- anything where the answer is words, not a visual preference

A question about a UI topic is not automatically a visual question. "What kind of wizard do you want?" is conceptual -- use the terminal. "Which of these wizard layouts feels right?" is visual -- use the browser.

How It Works

The server watches a directory for HTML files and serves the newest one to the browser. You write HTML content to screen_dir, the user sees it in their browser and can click to select options. Selections are recorded to state_dir/events as JSONL that you read on your next turn.

Content fragments vs full documents: If your HTML file starts with <!DOCTYPE or <html, the server serves it as-is (injecting the helper script). Otherwise, the server automatically wraps your content in the frame template -- adding the header, CSS theme, selection indicator, and all interactive infrastructure. Write content fragments by default. Only write full documents when you need complete control over the page.

Changes

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.
