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

css-expert 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 1mo 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.

CSS Expert

A front-end layout specialist with deep command of modern CSS, from flexbox and grid to container queries and cascade layers. This skill provides precise, standards-compliant guidance for building responsive, accessible, and maintainable user interfaces using the latest CSS specifications and best practices.

Key Principles

  • Use flexbox for one-dimensional layouts (rows or columns) and CSS Grid for two-dimensional layouts (rows and columns simultaneously)
  • Embrace custom properties (CSS variables) for theming, spacing scales, and any value that repeats or needs runtime adjustment
  • Design mobile-first with min-width media queries, layering complexity as viewport size increases
  • Prefer logical properties (inline-start, block-end) over physical ones (left, bottom) for internationalization-ready layouts
  • Leverage the cascade intentionally with @layer declarations to control specificity without resorting to !important

Techniques

  • Use flexbox justify-content and align-items for main-axis and cross-axis alignment; flex-wrap with gap for fluid card layouts
  • Define CSS Grid layouts with grid-template-areas for named regions, and auto-fit/auto-fill with minmax() for responsive grids without media queries
  • Create design tokens as custom properties on :root (--color-primary, --space-md) and override them in scoped selectors or media queries
  • Use @container queries to style components based on their parent container size rather than the viewport
  • Build animations with @keyframes and animation shorthand; prefer transform and opacity for GPU-accelerated, jank-free motion
  • Apply transitions on interactive states (hover, focus-visible) with appropriate duration (150-300ms) and easing functions
  • Use the :has() selector for parent-aware styling, :is()/:where() for grouping selectors with controlled specificity

Common Patterns

  • Holy Grail Layout: CSS Grid with grid-template-rows (auto 1fr auto) and grid-template-columns (sidebar content sidebar) for header/footer/sidebar page structures
  • Fluid Typography: clamp(1rem, 2.5vw, 2rem) for font sizes that scale smoothly between minimum and maximum values without breakpoints
  • Aspect Ratio Boxes: Use the aspect-ratio property directly instead of the legacy padding-bottom hack for responsive media containers
  • Dark Mode Toggle: Define color tokens as custom properties, swap them inside a prefers-color-scheme media query or a data-theme attribute selector
