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

flow-patterns 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.

What it actually says

Flow Patterns

How a product feels over time, not just in a single frame.

How to use

  • /flow-patterns Apply flow design constraints to this conversation.

Constraints

Flow Principles

  • MUST ensure the user can answer at any point: where am I, where did I come from, what happens next?
  • MUST use the minimum number of steps for the complexity of the action. Not zero steps. The right number.
  • MUST design error recovery as part of the flow, not an afterthought
  • SHOULD prefer undo over confirmation ("Action completed. Undo?" beats "Are you sure?")

Progressive Disclosure

  • MUST show only what's needed now and reveal complexity on demand
  • MUST decide at what point "simple" becomes "hiding things"
  • SHOULD use contextual actions (show actions where the content is, not in a distant toolbar)
  • SHOULD use smart defaults (pre-fill based on context, set the most common option)

Anti-Patterns

  • Multi-step flows with no progress indicator
  • Asking for information you could have inferred from context
  • Dead-end error states with no recovery path
  • Mandatory steps that aren't actually required
  • Confirmation dialogs for easily reversible actions
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.
