Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00037 | $0.00366 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00146 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00073 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00037 |
Grade A, and why
hierarchy-principles 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
Hierarchy Principles
The single most important thing in any visual design.
How to use
/hierarchy-principlesApply hierarchy constraints to any design work in this conversation.
Constraints
Hierarchy Rules
- MUST establish a clear primary element on every screen. If everything is important, nothing is.
- MUST create hierarchy through at least two of: scale, weight, contrast, color, space, position
- MUST ensure visual weight matches content priority (the most important thing is the most prominent)
- NEVER allow two elements to compete at the same hierarchy level unless intentional tension is the goal
- SHOULD test by covering half the screen. Can you still tell what's most important?
Hierarchy Tools
- Scale: Bigger things get seen first. The ratio between largest and smallest defines your range.
- Weight: Bolder things demand attention. Use sparingly or nothing stands out.
- Contrast: High-contrast elements pull focus. Low-contrast recedes.
- Color: Saturated colors advance. Desaturated retreat. One accent in a neutral system creates instant hierarchy.
- Space: More breathing room signals more importance. Crowded elements feel like metadata.
- Position: Top-left gets seen first (LTR). Center gets attention. Bottom-right gets ignored unless hierarchy pulls the eye there.
Anti-Patterns
- Using size as the only hierarchy tool (creates monotonous layouts)
- Making everything bold (negates the purpose of bold)
- Competing calls-to-action on the same screen
- Navigation that's visually louder than the content it serves
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.

hierarchy-principles is a skill published in the GitHub repository Dragoon0x/taste-skills (7 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 366 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
