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

taste-minimalist 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 13d 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.

Premium Utilitarian Minimalism & Editorial UI

Protocol for generating highly refined, ultra-minimalist, "document-style" web interfaces analogous to top-tier workspace platforms. Enforces high-contrast warm monochrome palette, bespoke typographic hierarchies, meticulous macro-whitespace, bento-grid layouts, and ultra-flat component architecture with deliberate muted pastel accents.

Based on: Apple Notes, Linear, Notion, Basecamp, iA Writer, and premium editorial systems.

1. Absolute Negative Constraints (Banned)

  • NO gradients, neon colors, or 3D glassmorphism (beyond subtle navbar blur)
  • NO rounded-full for large containers, cards, or primary buttons
  • NO emojis anywhere
  • NO "John Doe", "Acme Corp", "Lorem Ipsum" — realistic, contextual content
  • NO AI copywriting clichés: "Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash", "Next-Gen"
  • NO centered Hero sections — left-aligned text

  • Text Colors: Never #000000. Use off-black (#111111, #2F3437). Secondary: #787774. Line-height 1.6.

3. Color Palette (Warm Monochrome + Muted Pastels)

  • Canvas: #FFFFFF or #F7F6F3 / #FBFBFA
  • Surface (Cards): #FFFFFF or #F9F9F8
