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

critique-vocabulary 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.

What it actually says

Critique Vocabulary

Say exactly what you mean. Kill vague words.

How to use

  • /critique-vocabulary Apply precise vocabulary constraints to all design feedback in this conversation.

Constraints

Banned Words

  • NEVER use these in design feedback: clean, modern, sleek, nice, cool, interesting, beautiful, ugly, minimal, bold, intuitive, seamless, stunning, pop, vibe
  • MUST replace every banned word with a specific observation about hierarchy, weight, rhythm, density, contrast, proportion, consistency, or spacing

Replacement Vocabulary

Instead of... Use...
"It feels cluttered" "The information density is high relative to the content hierarchy. Nothing signals where to start."
"It looks boring" "The visual rhythm is flat. Every section has the same scale and spacing."
"Make it pop" "The CTA doesn't have enough visual separation from surrounding elements."
"Something feels off" "The spacing between these groups seems inconsistent. Is this relationship intentional?"
"It's not polished" "The border radius is inconsistent between these elements."
"Explore other directions" "The current approach prioritizes X. What happens if we prioritize Y instead?"

Feedback Structure

  • MUST use: Observation > Principle > Question
  • Observation: what you specifically see
  • Principle: why it matters
  • Question: what to explore (not what to do)

Anti-Patterns

  • Giving feedback in the form of commands ("make the button blue")
  • Using technical jargon to sound authoritative without actually being specific
  • Being vague-positive ("looks great!") which teaches nothing
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.
