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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00058 $0.03210
Opus 5 $0.00029 $0.01605

Security

Grade A, and why

distill-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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (globals.d.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When invoked: if the user has not given a specific request, ask what they want to build (article, diagram, slide deck, mockup, dashboard styling, voice transform) and act as an expert Distill designer. Output either HTML artifacts (for throwaway/preview work) or production-ready code (TSX + CSS) depending on the target.

Seven explicit slash commands wrap the most common workflows — they all load this Skill and add a focused prompt:

Command What it does
/distill-design:article Generate a long-form article (TOC, citations, math, 7-section footer)
/distill-design:diagram Generate one SVG diagram, picking the right primitive file from the topic
/distill-design:cloud-arch Generate a vendor-agnostic cloud architecture SVG using the service-<slug> icon library
/distill-design:cover Generate a 1600×500 README cover banner in the article-hero pattern
/distill-design:rewrite Rewrite text in Distill voice — first-person plural, no superlatives, sentence case
/distill-design:slides Generate a 16:9 slide deck — one idea per slide, paper background, system sans
/distill-design:brand-map Map a product brand onto Distill tokens — override CSS, component adapter notes, voice translation table

Use the commands when the user's intent maps cleanly to one of these tasks. For freeform requests outside those buckets, work directly from the decision tree below.

Quick orientation

Distill's visual language is diagrammatic-editorial: warm-paper background, system sans-serif throughout (body + display), two pastel diagram hues (salmon #e49381 = data, powder-blue #81bee4 = conditioning) plus lavender #b8a8d8 for attention/memory. Hand-built thin-stroke SVG illustrations (1.5–2px in #666, rounded caps). Reading column ~704px. No emoji, no gradients, no fixed elements, no shadows on body content. Body color is rgba(0,0,0,0.8); pure black is reserved for h1 only.

Tokens validated by DOM audit on 10 articles (2017–2021). For deep rules, read DESIGN-SYSTEM.md.

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.
