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

design-systems 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.

Design Systems Skill

Frameworks for creating distinctive, memorable web designs that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics.

Absolute Rules

  • NO EMOJIS: Never use emojis anywhere in generated content - not in headings, paragraphs, button text, or any other text.

Design Thinking Framework

Before designing, understand the context and commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction:

1. Purpose

  • What problem does this design solve?
  • Who uses it?
  • What action should users take?

2. Tone

Do NOT pick from a fixed list of generic styles. Instead, derive every direction from the site's topic, industry, culture, and audience:

  • Think like a specialist designer who has been hired for exactly this brief. What visual references would you research? What mood boards would you create? What real-world spaces, objects, materials, or cultural artefacts inform the aesthetic?
  • Ground each direction in the topic. For a traditional restaurant, directions might explore rustic warmth, refined elegance, or cultural heritage — never brutalist concrete. For a tech startup, directions might explore clean precision, bold disruption, or data-driven minimalism — never cozy farmhouse.
  • Ensure authentic diversity. The 4 directions should vary meaningfully in color palette, typography, layout approach, and mood — but every one must feel like a plausible, thoughtful design for this specific type of site. Diversity comes from exploring different facets of the topic, not from importing unrelated aesthetics.
  • Name each direction specifically. Titles should reflect the topic-grounded concept (e.g., "Warm Heritage" or "Alpine Elegance" for a Swiss chalet site), not generic labels like "Minimalist" or "Bold".

3. Constraints

  • Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility)
  • Brand guidelines (if any)
  • Content requirements

4. Differentiation

What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember?
