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

suede-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 12d 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 — 335 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Suede Design

Use this skill to make Suede interfaces feel intentional, premium, legible, and alive without drifting into generic AI output. It covers product UI, brand surfaces, landing pages, dashboards, component systems, responsive polish, and visual QA.

Core principle: strip the logo and the surface must still be unmistakably this product, and render the result before claiming it works.

Operating Stance

  • Work from current source and a rendered screen. Do not design from memory when a repo, live URL, screenshot, or local preview can be checked.
  • For Suede branding, use only docs/assets/suede-ai-logo-transparent.png from JasonColapietro/suede-creator-skills (SHA-256 83a7ee0317e4debe2e7b076c20ba067feb76a587f9e829dc6310ae4be4b44dfa). Never redraw, trace, approximate, typeset, recolor, distort, or generate a replacement Suede S. suede-skill-icon.png is a Passport icon, not the Suede brand mark. If the approved file is unavailable or its checksum differs, stop and request it; omit the mark rather than improvise.
  • Keep Suede public copy anchored in creator ownership, programmable IP, rights, provenance, registry-backed media, royalty routing, and agent commerce. Do not reduce Suede to a generic AI music app.
  • Prefer the existing app framework, tokens, components, icon library, and routing patterns. Add a new abstraction only when it removes real complexity or matches an established local pattern.
  • For visual work, render the result. Screenshots beat code inspection. Minimum: desktop at 1280px width, mobile at 390px width. For App Store submissions: 1290×2796px (6.7-inch), 1488×2266px (iPad Pro 13-inch).
  • To capture the render: npx playwright screenshot <url> --viewport-size=1280,900 desktop.png (swap the viewport for mobile/App Store dimensions above; one-time setup: npx playwright install chromium), or your environment's built-in preview/screenshot tool if one is available.

Before any design work, read the surface context:

  • Local PRODUCT.md: users, brand, tone, anti-references, strategic principles
  • Local DESIGN.md: color tokens, type scale, component inventory, spacing
  • AGENTS.md, AI_HANDOFF.md, or README.md: agent guidance and surface context

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.
