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

brand-guidelines 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 today.

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.

Brand Styling Skill

Overview

This skill applies brand-specific colors and typography to any artifact that may benefit from having a consistent visual identity. It is designed to work with any brand palette, not a single predefined one.

Keywords: branding, corporate identity, visual identity, post-processing, styling, brand colors, typography, visual formatting, visual design, color palette, design system

Critical Rule: Prefer UI Library Components Over New Ones

Whenever a new component is needed, first check whether the project is using a UI library (e.g.: shadcn/ui, Material UI, Chakra UI, Radix, Ant Design, PrimeVue, Vuetify, etc.). Look for telltale signs such as components.json, a components/ui/ folder, or the library listed in package.json.

  • If a UI library is in use, use its components exclusively instead of building new ones from scratch. Compose, extend, and theme the library's components rather than reinventing buttons, inputs, dialogs, tables, etc.
  • Only create a brand-new custom component when the required UI does not exist in the library, and even then build it on top of the library's primitives and tokens when possible.
  • Apply the brand palette and typography through the library's theming mechanism (CSS variables, theme provider, tokens) so styling stays consistent with the library.
  • Never duplicate a component the library already provides.

Critical Rule: Always Ask for the Color Palette First

Before applying any styling, this skill MUST ask the user for their specific brand palette and typography preferences.

Never assume or use a default palette without explicit confirmation. If the user does not provide one, prompt them with the following questions.

Required Information to Collect

When this skill is invoked, gather the following information from the user:

1. Color Palette

Ask the user to provide their brand colors in the following categories:

Please provide your brand color palette:

**Main Colors:**
- Dark (primary text and dark backgrounds): [color/hex]
- Light (light backgrounds and text on dark): [color/hex]
- Mid Gray (secondary elements): [color/hex]
- Light Gray (subtle backgrounds): [color/hex]

**Accent Colors:**
- Primary accent: [color/hex]
- Secondary accent: [color/hex]
- Tertiary accent: [color/hex]

**Optional Extended Palette:**
- Success/Positive: [color/hex]
- Warning/Caution: [color/hex]
- Error/Negative: [color/hex]
- Info/Neutral: [color/hex]
