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

canon-badges 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 245 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CANON · Badges

Small metadata shapes. Badges, chips, pills, and tags are all adjacent concepts; the right name matters less than the right behavior.

What belongs in a badge

Appropriate Not appropriate
Status ("Active", "Draft") Full sentences
Count (3, 99+) Paragraph-length content
Category or tag (frontend, urgent) Primary actions
Labels on entities (beta, new) Navigation links
Version numbers ("v2.1") Buttons

Badges are metadata. If users click a badge and something changes, they expected a button.

Badges vs chips vs tags

Pattern Interactive? Use
Badge Usually no Display-only metadata (status, count, version)
Chip Yes Selected filters, removable tokens, multi-select
Tag Optional Categorization; either display or selectable
Notification dot No Unseen-items indicator

Most are the same visual shape (rounded rectangle) but different behavior. Don't make display-only badges look clickable — confuses users.

Sizing

Size Height Padding Font
XS 16–18px 4–6px horizontal 10–11px
SM 20px 6–8px 11–12px
MD 24px 8–10px 12–13px
LG 28–32px 10–14px 13–14px

Most UI badges are SM or MD. XS only for dense tables and inline markers.

Border radius: 4–6px for rectangular feel, 999px for pill. Stay consistent within a UI.

Color coding — status conventions

Users learn color semantics. Respect the conventions.

Intent Color Examples
Success / active Green "Published", "Active", "Online"
Info / neutral Blue or gray "Draft", "New", "Info"
Warning Yellow / amber "Expiring soon", "Review needed"
Danger / error Red "Failed", "Overdue", "Blocked"
Muted / inactive Gray "Archived", "Inactive"

Color alone is never the only signal. Pair with the label text. WCAG 1.4.1.

Tonal badges (preferred)

Instead of saturated-fill badges (loud), use tonal:

  • Light background (10–15% of the hue's lightness zone) +
  • Dark text (60–70% of the hue's lightness zone).

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.
