Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00058 | $0.00665 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00029 | $0.00332 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00133 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00067 |
Grade A, and why
canon-cursors 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 11d 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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CANON · Cursors
The cursor tells users what will happen before they click. Wrong cursor = broken promise.
Cursor-affordance pairing
| Affordance | Cursor | CSS |
|---|---|---|
| Clickable button/link | Pointer | cursor: pointer |
| Text content (selectable) | Text | cursor: text |
| Draggable element | Grab / grabbing | cursor: grab / cursor: grabbing |
| Resizable edge/corner | Resize | cursor: ew-resize, ns-resize, nwse-resize |
| Disabled element | Not-allowed | cursor: not-allowed |
| Loading (system-level) | Wait | cursor: wait |
| Loading (element-level) | Progress | cursor: progress |
| Default (non-interactive) | Default | cursor: default |
| Crosshair (precision) | Crosshair | cursor: crosshair |
| Help (tooltip-ish) | Help | cursor: help |
| Zoom in/out | Zoom-in / zoom-out | cursor: zoom-in |
The hover+cursor rule
From canon-interaction: if the element changes on hover, the cursor must match the action. Hover effect without cursor change is ambiguous. Cursor change without hover effect is invisible.
Custom cursors
Custom cursor images are acceptable for specialized tools (drawing apps, games). Rules:
- Provide a fallback:
cursor: url(custom.png), pointer - Keep the hotspot correct (the click point).
- Size: 32×32px maximum (OS recommendation).
- Don't use custom cursors for standard web interactions.
Anti-patterns
| Anti-pattern | Why it fails |
|---|---|
cursor: pointer on non-interactive elements |
False promise |
| No cursor change on interactive elements | Hidden affordance |
cursor: pointer on text inputs |
Confusing — text cursor expected |
| Custom cursor on every element | Disorienting |
cursor: not-allowed on elements that are actually clickable |
Lying to the user |
| Grab cursor on non-draggable element | Broken promise |
Audit checklist
- Every interactive element uses
cursor: pointer - Draggable elements use
cursor: grab(andgrabbingon drag) - Disabled elements use
cursor: not-allowed - Resizable edges use the correct resize cursor
- No
cursor: pointeron non-interactive content - Custom cursors have a standard fallback
- Text-selectable areas use default or text cursor
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.

canon-cursors is a skill published in the GitHub repository Dragoon0x/canon (6 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 665 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
