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-critique 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 8d 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 Critique

Giving Critique

The Framework

For every piece of feedback, hit three points:

  1. Observation — What you see (factual, not opinion)
  2. Impact — Why it matters (connects to goals, users, or principles)
  3. Direction — What to explore (not prescriptive, but generative)

Example:

  • Observation: "The CTA is the same visual weight as the navigation links."
  • Impact: "Users scanning the page won't know where to click first."
  • Direction: "Try increasing the size or contrast of the CTA, or reducing the visual weight of the nav."

What Good Critique Sounds Like

  • "I notice [observation]. How does that serve [the user/the goal]?"
  • "This works well because [specific reason]. What if we pushed it further by..."
  • "The hierarchy here reads as [X] before [Y]. Is that the intended priority?"
  • "I'm drawn to [element], but I think it might compete with [other element]."

What Bad Critique Sounds Like

  • "I don't like it" (not actionable)
  • "Make it pop" (meaningless)
  • "Can we try it in blue?" (prescriptive without rationale)
  • "This is wrong" (no direction, pure criticism)
  • "What if we added..." (solution before understanding the problem)

Critique Priority Order

  1. Strategy — Is this solving the right problem?
  2. Structure — Is the information architecture correct?
  3. Interaction — Does the flow make sense?
  4. Visual — Does it look right?
  5. Polish — Are the details refined?

Don't critique polish when the strategy is wrong.

Receiving Critique

How to Present Work for Critique

  • State what you want feedback on (scope the conversation)
  • Explain the constraints you're working within
  • Share what you've already tried and why you moved past it
  • Don't apologize for unfinished work (it's a critique, not a showcase)

How to Process Feedback

  • Write it down before responding
  • Ask clarifying questions ("Can you say more about what feels off?")
  • Look for patterns (if 3 people mention hierarchy, it's a hierarchy problem)
  • Separate "I don't prefer this" from "this doesn't work for users"
  • You don't have to act on everything. But you should understand everything.

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.
