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

system-deconstruction 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 10d 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

System Deconstruction

Take a design system apart. Understand every decision.

How to use

  • /system-deconstruction Apply system analysis constraints to this conversation.

Constraints

System Layers

  • MUST identify and evaluate each layer independently:
    • Token layer: colors, spacing, radii, shadows, type scale
    • Component layer: buttons, inputs, cards, modals, navigation
    • Pattern layer: forms, tables, dashboards, settings, onboarding
    • Layout layer: grids, breakpoints, density modes
  • MUST check consistency within each layer and between layers

Quality Signals

  • Consistent spacing scale across all components
  • Type scale that follows a mathematical ratio
  • Color palette with clear, non-overlapping roles
  • Components that compose predictably
  • States that are systematically covered (not ad-hoc)

Quality Warnings

  • More than 3 one-off components that don't fit the system
  • Spacing values that almost match but don't (15px next to 16px)
  • Colors that serve different semantic roles in different contexts
  • Components that look similar but behave differently

Anti-Patterns

  • Evaluating a design system by its documentation instead of its actual usage
  • Ignoring the gap between what the system defines and what the product actually ships
  • Treating the system as sacred (systems should serve products, not the other way around)
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.
