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 | $0.00092 | $0.02948 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00037 | $0.01179 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00590 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00295 |
Grade A, and why
avalonia-pro-max/preview-server 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.

Preview Server — Visual Variant Picker for Avalonia
What this does
Lets the agent show the user 2–3 design alternatives as actual rendered Avalonia screens (not HTML mockups), in a browser-based side-by-side comparison gallery. The user picks one and the agent then builds the chosen design out into the real app.
Why "real Avalonia" matters: HTML mockups misrepresent how Avalonia's Skia renderer, FluentTheme, ControlThemes, acrylic, shadows and font rendering actually look. A user who approves an HTML mockup is often disappointed by the real app. Rendering the actual XAML guarantees fidelity.
When to use
Must use
- User says: "show me some options", "what would this look like", "give me a few designs", "preview", "mockup"
- Building a new screen/window where there are valid stylistic alternatives
- Choosing between theme libraries (Fluent vs Suki vs Semi vs Material)
- Big visual refactor before committing to one direction
Skip
- User has already specified an exact design
- Tiny tweaks to existing UI (just edit it)
- Pure backend / non-visual changes
High-level flow
1. Agent reads requirements (uses brainstorming skill if unclear)
2. Agent generates 3 variant .axaml files in .preview/variants/{1,2,3}/
3. Agent runs render script renders each variant via Avalonia.Headless
→ .preview/output/{variant}/{viewport}-{theme}.png
(e.g. 1/wide-light.png, 1/wide-dark.png,
1/compact-light.png, 1/compact-dark.png)
4. Agent runs serve script starts python http.server, builds index.html
gallery, prints URL: http://localhost:PORT
5. User reviews in browser, replies "I like variant 2"
6. Agent stops the server, copies .preview/variants/2/* into the real project
the chosen variant into the
actual app
The user never has to install anything beyond what's already needed for Avalonia development plus Python (already required by ui-ux-pro-max).

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.

avalonia-pro-max/preview-server is a skill published in the GitHub repository linuxdevel/Avalonia-skills (48 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 2,948 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
