reticle-aesthetic

reticle-aesthetic is a skill for Cursor from Kevin-Liu-01/Agent-Machines. It costs 80 tokens per session (4,310 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A visual design guide for building landing pages and other marketing sections in a dark or light engineering-instrument style. The style uses fine borders, grid markings, monospaced labels, and restrained animation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating hero sections, landing pages, marketing surfaces, instrument-panel layouts, grid cells, or interfaces described as Reticle or Sigil.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents consistent rules for reproducing this visual language instead of inventing the layout and styling each time. It also defines shared color tokens for the design.

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

reticle-aesthetic 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 389 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Reticle / Sigil Aesthetic

The Agent Machines landing page is an engineering instrument panel — hairline borders, hatched margin rails, corner cross marks, monospaced readouts, and agent-colored hover overlays on a near-black (dark) or white (light) ground. Animation budget is minimal: hand-rolled React timers, CSS keyframes, and R3F wireframes. No GSAP, no Framer Motion.

Design Tokens

All colors use var(--ret-*) from web/app/globals.css. Never use raw hex for backgrounds/borders/text — always resolve through tokens.

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.
