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 11d 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 Critique

Better critique structure. Better design output.

How to use

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

Constraints

Critique Format

  • MUST use: Observation > Principle > Question for every piece of feedback
  • MUST start with intent: "What were you optimizing for?" before evaluating
  • MUST name tradeoffs, not flaws: "You chose density, which gives power users fast access but makes first-time experience overwhelming"
  • MUST separate craft feedback (alignment, consistency) from taste feedback (should this exist at all?)
  • NEVER give feedback as commands ("make the button blue"). Give direction ("the CTA needs more visual separation").

Running a Critique Session

  • 5 minutes: everyone silently writes 3 specific observations. No vague words.
  • 10 minutes: go around the room. Each person shares one observation. No repeats.
  • 10 minutes: discuss disagreements. Where two people see different things, learning happens.
  • 5 minutes: name the principle. One-sentence lesson from this review.

For Receiving Feedback

  • SHOULD ask "why" before reacting (genuinely, not defensively)
  • MUST distinguish between preference feedback and principle feedback
  • SHOULD write down feedback you disagree with. Review it a day later.

Anti-Patterns

  • Vague positives ("looks great!") that teach nothing
  • Prescriptive commands instead of directional questions
  • Mixing critique of concept with critique of execution in the same breath
  • The most senior person speaking first (anchors the room)
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.
