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

design-trends-2026 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 768 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Apply the 10 dominant graphic design aesthetics of 2026 to any creative project — based on Kittl × Savee's trend report, backed by Adobe, Figma, and Pinterest platform data.

When to Use This Skill

  • Briefing a designer or AI image generator — translate vague "make it modern" into precise style vocabulary
  • Creating brand identity or visual refresh — pick aesthetics that match your audience and positioning
  • Building mood boards — combine trends with intent, not just screenshots
  • Designing social/marketing assets — use visual languages trending on platforms right now
  • Pitching creative direction — back your choices with data signals, not just taste

Methodology Foundation

Source: Kittl × Savee — "2026 Design Trends Report" (January 2026)

Core Principle: 2026 design sits at the crossroads of two forces: human-made visuals are returning (Adobe reports +30% searches for hand-drawn elements), while AI accelerates exploration (60% of designers use AI for early concepts per Figma 2024). The best work in 2026 lives in between — messy meets precise, nostalgic meets futuristic, chaotic meets intentional.

Why This Matters: Trends aren't decoration — they're cultural signals. Choosing the right visual language connects you to what your audience already feels. Choosing the wrong one makes you invisible or dated. This skill gives you the vocabulary, the data, and the decision framework to pick deliberately.


What Claude Does vs What You Decide

"Claude maps the territory. You pick the direction."

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.
