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

ui-style-format 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 2d 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.

UI Style Format Specification

Overview

The UI Style system provides a standardized way to define project design preferences that the ui agent uses during design reviews. It supports both text-based style definitions and visual reference images.

File Structure

{project}/
  .claude/
    design-style.md              # Main style configuration
    design-references/           # Visual reference images
      {image}.png                # PNG or JPG screenshots
      MANIFEST.md                # Optional metadata

design-style.md Schema

Required Sections

Section Purpose
Header Version, dates, base reference
Reference Images Links to visual references (v2.0+)
Brand Colors Color palette with light/dark modes
Typography Fonts and type scale
Spacing Base unit and scale
Component Patterns Button, input, card styles
Design Rules DO and DON'T guidelines

Optional Sections

Section Purpose
Reference URLs External style guides
Style History Change log
MANIFEST.md Detailed image descriptions

Reference Images Integration

Storage Location

All reference images MUST be stored in .claude/design-references/.

Supported Formats

Format Extension Recommended Use
PNG .png Screenshots, UI components
JPEG .jpg, .jpeg Photos, complex imagery
WebP .webp Modern alternative to PNG/JPEG

Image Table Format

In the style file, reference images are listed in a table:

## Reference Images

| Image | Description | Captured | Mode |
|-------|-------------|----------|------|
| hero-section.png | Homepage hero | 2026-01-08 | light |

Usage Guidelines Section

Each image should have usage notes:

### Usage Guidelines

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.
