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 | $0.00064 | $0.01850 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00925 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00370 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00185 |
Grade A, and why
polish 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
84% identical to polish — 20 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 206 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
First: Use the frontend-design skill for design principles and anti-patterns.
Perform a meticulous final pass to catch all the small details that separate good work from great work. The difference between shipped and polished.
Pre-Polish Assessment
Understand the current state and goals:
-
Review completeness:
- Is it functionally complete?
- Are there known issues to preserve (mark with TODOs)?
- What's the quality bar? (MVP vs flagship feature?)
- When does it ship? (How much time for polish?)
-
Identify polish areas:
- Visual inconsistencies
- Spacing and alignment issues
- Interaction state gaps
- Copy inconsistencies
- Edge cases and error states
- Loading and transition smoothness
CRITICAL: Polish is the last step, not the first. Don't polish work that's not functionally complete.
Polish Systematically
Work through these dimensions methodically:
Visual Alignment & Spacing
- Pixel-perfect alignment: Everything lines up to grid
- Consistent spacing: All gaps use spacing scale (no random 13px gaps)
- Optical alignment: Adjust for visual weight (icons may need offset for optical centering)
- Responsive consistency: Spacing and alignment work at all breakpoints
- Grid adherence: Elements snap to baseline grid
Check:
- Enable grid overlay and verify alignment
- Check spacing with browser inspector
- Test at multiple viewport sizes
- Look for elements that "feel" off
Typography Refinement
- Hierarchy consistency: Same elements use same sizes/weights throughout
- Line length: 45-75 characters for body text
- Line height: Appropriate for font size and context
- Widows & orphans: No single words on last line
- Hyphenation: Appropriate for language and column width
- Kerning: Adjust letter spacing where needed (especially headlines)
- Font loading: No FOUT/FOIT flashes
Color & Contrast
- Contrast ratios: All text meets WCAG standards
- Consistent token usage: No hard-coded colors, all use design tokens
- Theme consistency: Works in all theme variants
- Color meaning: Same colors mean same things throughout
- Accessible focus: Focus indicators visible with sufficient contrast
- Tinted neutrals: No pure gray or pure black—add subtle color tint (0.01 chroma)
- Gray on color: Never put gray text on colored backgrounds—use a shade of that color or transparency
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.

polish is a skill published in the GitHub repository kazdenc/builder-skills (45 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 1,850 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 84% identical to polish, differing in 20 lines, and is treated as a copy.
