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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00075 | $0.01916 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.00766 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00383 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00192 |
Grade A, and why
tui-design 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 24d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 189 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
TUI Design System
Voice Complex
This skill governs TERMINAL RENDERING — structural, not tonal.
Shared aesthetic: voice-bedrock (.claude/rules/voice-bedrock.md).
For product voice in command output prose: product-voice skill.
For browser visual output: dark-mode skill.
For ASCII diagrams in explanations: visual-explain skill.
When to invoke
User says: "TUI", "terminal output", "box drawing", "command output formatting", "sigils", "section markers", or is designing/modifying any slash command's terminal output.
Not this: browser rendering → dark-mode · external prose → egregore-voice
1. Brand Elements
Command Headers
/activity is the flagship — it gets the full branded header with org name:
{ORG_NAME} EGREGORE ✦ ACTIVITY DASHBOARD
Read org name from jq -r '.org_name' egregore.json. The ✦ star is reserved exclusively for the activity dashboard and Egregore-wide branding.
Other commands get sigil + command name only — no org name:
| Command | Header | Sigil Meaning |
|---|---|---|
/activity |
{ORG_NAME} EGREGORE ✦ ACTIVITY DASHBOARD |
The star — awareness, the full field |
/ask |
? ASK |
The question — direct, clear inquiry |
/reflect |
◎ REFLECTION |
The eye — looking inward, seeing clearly |
/deep-reflect |
◈ DEEP REFLECT |
The faceted eye — looking inward with structure |
/handoff |
⇌ HANDOFF |
The bridge — passing context between minds |
/quest |
⚑ QUEST |
The flag — planting direction in unknown territory |
/todo |
□ TODO |
The checkbox — actionable items, personal intent |
/archive |
◇ ARCHIVE |
The diamond — crystallized pattern, refined and preserved |
/eval |
⊕ EVAL |
The crosshair — measuring, comparing, calibrating |
Section Markers

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.
