In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for responsive email templates, preheaders, buttons, image fallbacks, unsubscribe footers, dark-mode checks, and client testing.
Why use it?
Email apps support HTML and CSS unevenly, so ordinary website layouts can break or become unreadable in the inbox.

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

email-design 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 6d 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

Email Design

Email Design Constraints

  • Table-based layout (CSS grid/flexbox not universally supported).
  • Inline CSS (many clients strip tags).
  • Max width: 600px.
  • Images: hosted externally, alt text required (images blocked by default).
  • Fonts: web fonts unreliable. Use web-safe stacks.

Structure

  1. Pre-header text (preview in inbox, 40-130 chars).
  2. Header (logo, minimal navigation).
  3. Hero (primary message/image).
  4. Body (content blocks, alternating layout).
  5. CTA (primary action button, min 44px height).
  6. Footer (unsubscribe link required by law, contact info).

Button Design

  • HTML buttons, not image buttons (images may be blocked).
  • Minimum 44px height, full-width on mobile.
  • High contrast, rounded corners via border-radius.
  • Bulletproof button technique for Outlook.

Testing

  • Test in: Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo Mail, mobile clients.
  • Dark mode: test color rendering.
  • Images-off: ensure content is readable.
  • Links: test every link.

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.
