Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00041 | $0.00223 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00112 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00045 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00022 |
Grade A, and why
principle-exhaust-the-design-space 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 8d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to principle-exhaust-the-design-space — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Exhaust the Design Space
When a novel interaction or architectural decision has no established precedent, explore several concrete alternatives before implementation. Building the wrong thing costs more than exploring three options.
The rule. When the right answer is not obvious, build 2-3 competing prototypes or sketches. Compare them side by side. Only then commit. Design it twice is this rule by another name. A second flavor of the first shape does not count.
When it applies:
- Novel UI interactions (no prior art in the codebase)
- Architectural choices with multiple viable approaches
- Product design decisions where user experience depends on feel, not logic
When it doesn't:
- Mechanical implementation where the pattern is established
- Bug fixes or refactors with a clear target state
- Changes where constraints dictate a single viable approach
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.

principle-exhaust-the-design-space is a skill published in the GitHub repository J-StaR-Films-Studios/VibeCode-Protocol-Suite (24 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed ISC. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 223 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to principle-exhaust-the-design-space, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.

plan
Use when a request needs shaping before any code is written — a rough or vague prompt to sharpen, an ambiguous idea to design, or a clear-enough task to decompose. One chain-starter that amplifies the prompt, designs the approach, and decomposes it into a batched task file, skipping whichever phases the request…
ai-ui-generation
AI-assisted UI generation patterns for json-render, v0.app, Google Stitch, Bolt Cloud, and Cursor workflows. Covers prompt engineering for component and full-stack app generation, review checklists for AI-generated code, design token injection, refactoring for design system conformance, and CI gates for quality…
ui-design
Unify product UI design, frontend implementation, and verification. Use when asked to design, redesign, build, or fix a web, desktop, or mobile interface; a page, dashboard, form, component, design system, responsive layout, accessibility, interface animation, or editable hero/banner/infographic within a product…
frontend-design
A design guide for building polished web interfaces such as pages, dashboards, forms, navigation, and reusable UI components. It covers HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and common frontend frameworks.
prototype
A disposable code prototype for answering a specific design question, such as whether a logic model works or which user interface feels right. It is meant to be tried briefly and then removed or kept only as a record of the decision.
mermaid
Create, validate, and repair Mermaid.js diagrams. Use when generating flowcharts, sequence, class, ER, state, or Gantt diagrams, or any visualization.
