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

ds-a11y 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 288 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Preamble

"../lib/env.sh" "a11y"

What accessibility means (explain this to the user if they haven't run /ds-a11y before)

"Accessibility means your website works for everyone — including people who are blind and use a screen reader to hear the page, people with low vision who need high contrast text, people who are color-blind, and people who use a keyboard instead of a mouse. Many countries also have legal requirements around this.

I'll check your site against the main rules and give you a grade from A to D, plus a screenshot showing exactly where each problem is."

This is a one-page accessibility audit. If the user wants a broader launch review, route them to /ds-polish instead.

Step 1 — Load Design Bible (if present)

If DESIGN_BIBLE is yes, follow the standard extraction protocol in lib/bible-reader.md. Focus on L1 Colors and L4 component rules for contrast checking.

Step 2 — Get the URL

Ask the user:

"What page should I check for accessibility? Give me the URL (e.g. http://localhost:3000 or your live URL). The home page is a good start, or try your most important page like checkout or signup."

Step 2 — Take a baseline screenshot

If BROWSE is not NOT_FOUND:

$B goto <URL>
$B screenshot /tmp/dstack-a11y-before.png

If the URL is not reachable:

"Your project doesn't seem to be running right now. Start it with npm run dev (or npm start) and then give me the URL — usually http://localhost:3000. I'll wait."

Do not continue until the user confirms the project is running.

Show the screenshot to the user:

"Here's your page. Let me run the accessibility check now."

Step 3 — Take screenshot and run accessibility audit

If BROWSE is not NOT_FOUND:

"../lib/visual-audit.sh" screenshot "<URL>" "a11y" "before"

If the URL is not reachable, run and show the output of:

"../lib/visual-audit.sh" not_running

Do not continue until the user confirms the project is running.

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.
