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-mentoring 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Design Mentoring

Mentoring Structure

  1. Weekly 1:1 (30 min): Current work, blockers, growth
  2. Portfolio review (monthly): Review recent work deeply
  3. Skill development (quarterly): Identify growth areas, set goals

Giving Growth Feedback

  • Be specific: 'The spacing between these sections creates unclear grouping' not 'The layout needs work'
  • Explain why: Connect the feedback to a principle
  • Show alternatives: Don't just criticize, demonstrate
  • Acknowledge progress: Note improvements from previous feedback
  • Separate craft from taste: Craft is learnable (spacing, hierarchy). Taste develops with exposure.

Growth Path

Level Focus Key Skills
Junior Execution Craft, tools, following direction
Mid Problem-solving Research, strategy, self-direction
Senior Leadership Vision, mentoring, stakeholder influence
Lead Multiplication Team building, culture, business impact

Common Junior Mistakes (address kindly)

  • Skipping research and jumping to solutions
  • Designing for themselves, not users
  • Pixel perfection before direction is right
  • Not presenting work well (just sharing screenshots)
  • Taking feedback personally
Changes

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.
