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

repo-visuals-retro 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 13d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

repo-visuals-retro

The repo-visuals skill scores every run on five criteria (see repo-visuals/SKILL.md §6). This meta-skill turns that accumulated evidence into skill improvements.

When to invoke

  • You have ≥ 5 runs logged in ./evaluations/runs/ in the user's working directory (before that, the sample is noise).
  • Something feels off across multiple runs and you want a structured look.
  • A major change to repo-visuals is planned and you want the evidence base first.

Do not run this every session. Retros are more valuable with accumulated samples.

Inputs

  • The repo-visuals skill's SKILL.md — the current skill definition (sibling skill in the same plugin)
  • ./evaluations/index.md in the user's working directory — curated aggregate from previous retros
  • ./evaluations/runs/*.md in the user's working directory — all per-run raw evaluations since the last retro
  • Available expert skills in the environment (detected, not assumed)

Workflow

1. Read & tabulate

Read all inputs. Build a small table:

  • Average score per criterion, overall and by repo-type bucket (CLI, library, web-app, etc. — infer from scan metadata in each run)
  • Variance per criterion (high variance = the skill is inconsistent on that axis)
  • Free-text feedback clustered by theme

2. Identify patterns

Name each pattern concretely:

  • "Hero moment delivery averaged 2.6 / 5 across the 4 CLI-tool runs but 4.2 / 5 across library runs"
  • "Technical polish dropped whenever the stage was < 400 px tall — type legibility likely"
  • "3 runs had identical user feedback: 'loop seam is jarring'"

3. Consult expert skills

For each pattern, consult the relevant expert skill(s) if available in the environment. Examples:

  • Visual / design critiquefrontend-design skill. Feed it the final HTML + screenshots from low-scoring runs; ask for specific design-rule violations.
  • Skill structure / prompt designskill-creator skill. Ask whether the skill's Phase N language is ambiguous or missing a step.
  • Evaluation methodology → any evaluate-plugins style skill. Ask whether the 5-criterion scorecard is well-calibrated.
  • Domain-specific knowledge → e.g. an ast-graph / codebase-compare skill if patterns suggest weaknesses in the scan phase.

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.
