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

tailwind-patterns 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 9d 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.

Tailwind CSS Patterns (v4 - 2025)

Modern utility-first CSS with CSS-native configuration.

When to Use

Use this skill when configuring Tailwind v4, using CSS-first theme and design tokens, or implementing container queries and modern Tailwind patterns.


1. Tailwind v4 Architecture

What Changed from v3

v3 (Legacy) v4 (Current)
tailwind.config.js CSS-based @theme directive
PostCSS plugin Oxide engine (10x faster)
JIT mode Native, always-on
Plugin system CSS-native features
@apply directive Still works, discouraged

v4 Core Concepts

Concept Description
CSS-first Configuration in CSS, not JavaScript
Oxide Engine Rust-based compiler, much faster
Native Nesting CSS nesting without PostCSS
CSS Variables All tokens exposed as --* vars

2. CSS-Based Configuration

Theme Definition

@theme {
  /* Colors - use semantic names */
  --color-primary: oklch(0.7 0.15 250);
  --color-surface: oklch(0.98 0 0);
  --color-surface-dark: oklch(0.15 0 0);
  
  /* Spacing scale */
  --spacing-xs: 0.25rem;
  --spacing-sm: 0.5rem;
  --spacing-md: 1rem;
  --spacing-lg: 2rem;
  
  /* Typography */
  --font-sans: 'Inter', system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: 'JetBrains Mono', monospace;
}

When to Extend vs Override

Action Use When
Extend Adding new values alongside defaults
Override Replacing default scale entirely
Semantic tokens Project-specific naming (primary, surface)

3. Container Queries (v4 Native)

Breakpoint vs Container

Type Responds To
Breakpoint (md:) Viewport width
Container (@container) Parent element width

Container Query Usage

Pattern Classes
Define container @container on parent
Container breakpoint @sm:, @md:, @lg: on children
Named containers @container/card for specificity

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.
