In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when styling the dashboard, adding sections, or refining its visual identity. It guides hierarchy, breathing room, readable timestamps, metrics, tables, and intentional use of the interface palette.

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

engram-visual-language 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.

What it actually says

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Editing styles.css
  • Creating new dashboard sections or states
  • Refining layout, spacing, typography, or color use

Visual Rules

  1. The dashboard must feel like Engram, not a generic SaaS admin.
  2. Prefer strong hierarchy, fewer containers, and clearer breathing room.
  3. Use the TUI-inspired palette and mono/display accents intentionally.
  4. Format machine timestamps and raw identifiers into human-scannable UI.
  5. Decorative framing must never make content harder to read.

Density Rules

  • Avoid box-inside-box repetition unless it clarifies information grouping.
  • Important text must never touch borders or feel cramped.
  • Metrics should read instantly.
  • Tables should stay clean, aligned, and visually quieter than hero areas.
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.
