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

avalonia-custom-controls 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.

Avalonia Custom Controls

Overview

Three control types: UserControl (XAML composition, app-specific), TemplatedControl (lookless, restyled per theme), Control (custom drawing with Render override). Choose by reusability needs.

Choosing a Control Type

Type Inherit from Use when
UserControl UserControl App-specific view/page, composed of existing controls
TemplatedControl TemplatedControl Reusable, restyled control for libraries/themes
Basic control Control Custom drawing (charts, gauges, games)
Panel Panel Custom layout algorithm

UserControl

<!-- MyCard.axaml -->
<UserControl xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui"
             x:Class="MyApp.Controls.MyCard">
    <Border CornerRadius="8" Padding="16">
        <ContentPresenter Content="{Binding}"/>
    </Border>
</UserControl>
// MyCard.axaml.cs
public partial class MyCard : UserControl
{
    public MyCard() => InitializeComponent();
}

TemplatedControl

public class RatingControl : TemplatedControl
{
    public static readonly StyledProperty<int> ValueProperty =
        AvaloniaProperty.Register<RatingControl, int>(nameof(Value), defaultValue: 0);

    public int Value
    {
        get => GetValue(ValueProperty);
        set => SetValue(ValueProperty, value);
    }
}

Default template in Themes/Generic.axaml:

<ControlTheme x:Key="{x:Type local:RatingControl}" TargetType="local:RatingControl">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <ControlTemplate>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                <!-- template content -->
            </StackPanel>
        </ControlTemplate>
    </Setter>
</ControlTheme>

StyledProperty vs DirectProperty

StyledProperty DirectProperty
Styling support Yes No
Binding All priorities LocalValue only
Value inheritance Yes No
Per-instance storage Prioritized list Field
Use when Needs styling, most cases High-perf, won't be styled

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.
