It tells people whether something can be clicked, selected, dragged, resized, or is unavailable before they act.

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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5.1 $0.00058 $0.00665
Opus 5.5 $0.00023 $0.00266

Security

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 2mo 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.

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 (and grabbing on drag)
  • Disabled elements use cursor: not-allowed
  • Resizable edges use the correct resize cursor
  • No cursor: pointer on 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.
