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 | $0.00093 | $0.01699 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00037 | $0.00680 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00340 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00170 |
Grade A, and why
design-patterns 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 1mo 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.

Design Patterns
Visual design patterns for creating consistent, accessible interfaces with proper design tokens and component specifications.
Purpose
Provides patterns for:
- Design token systems (colors, typography, spacing)
- Component visual specifications
- WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility compliance
- Responsive design across breakpoints
Core Patterns
Pattern 1: Semantic Color Tokens
When to use: Defining color systems that work across themes.
Implementation:
/* Base palette (reference only) */
--blue-500: #3b82f6;
--blue-700: #1d4ed8;
/* Semantic tokens (use these) */
--color-primary: var(--blue-500);
--color-primary-hover: var(--blue-700);
--color-text: #111827;
--color-text-muted: #6b7280;
--color-background: #ffffff;
--color-error: #ef4444;
--color-success: #10b981;
Benefits:
- Theme switching via semantic tokens
- Consistent color usage across components
- Easier maintenance and updates
Pattern 2: 8px Spacing Scale
When to use: All spacing decisions (padding, margins, gaps).
Implementation:
--space-1: 0.25rem; /* 4px - tight */
--space-2: 0.5rem; /* 8px - compact */
--space-3: 0.75rem; /* 12px */
--space-4: 1rem; /* 16px - default */
--space-6: 1.5rem; /* 24px - medium */
--space-8: 2rem; /* 32px - large */
--space-12: 3rem; /* 48px - section */
Benefits:
- Visual rhythm and consistency
- Predictable spacing relationships
- Easier to maintain
Pattern 3: Component State Matrix
When to use: Defining all interactive component states.
Implementation:
| State | Background | Border | Text | Cursor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Default | --color-bg |
--color-border |
--color-text |
default |
| Hover | --color-bg-hover |
--color-border |
--color-text |
pointer |
| Focus | --color-bg |
--color-focus-ring |
--color-text |
— |
| Active | --color-bg-active |
--color-border |
--color-text |
pointer |
| Disabled | --color-bg |
--color-border |
--color-text-muted |
not-allowed |
| Loading | --color-bg |
--color-border |
--color-text-muted |
wait |
| Error | --color-bg |
--color-error |
--color-error |

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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 223 lines · 93 tokens per session scan A ba2f253925ca
design-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository Everyone-Needs-A-Copilot/claude-copilot (14 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 1,699 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-04.
