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 C, and why

inspiration scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Once you've streamed in the concepts (Step 4) and handed back the link (Step 5), **delete the temporary working directory** so nothing is left behind: `rm -rf "$TMP"` (this removes `baseline.html`). The hosted link is th

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 222 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Inspiration

Explore four parallel design directions for a target screen or component. This skill recreates a faithful baseline of the current UI, creates a placeholder magicpatterns.com/inspiration/<id> document up front, then generates four concepts and streams each one directly into the document via subagents. The hosted comparison link is the deliverable, and publishing is required, not optional.

Concepts are pushed straight into the document through the inspiration_add_variant MCP tool as each subagent finishes — no concept HTML files are written to disk, and the concept HTML never round-trips through the main agent's context. This is what keeps the flow fast and avoids the timid "publish a placeholder concept and hope to fix it later" failure mode.

The goal is bold, grounded divergence. Pin the product down ONCE using its real content and its real design tokens (colors, fonts, spacing, SVGs), then make the four concepts meaningfully different from each other: different layout philosophies, arrangements, or product framings, not four shades of the same idea. Every concept inherits the baseline's tokens so it still looks like the same product; the design direction is the only axis that changes.

Prerequisites

  • The Magic Patterns MCP server must be connected (tools prefixed magic-patterns). Publishing uses two tools: create_inspiration_document (creates the placeholder document + returns the link and one id per concept) and inspiration_add_variant (fills a single concept in with its HTML). Iterating on an existing document (see "Iterating on an existing document" below) uses get_inspiration_document (loads the current concepts + baseline), inspiration_clear_variants (resets all concepts for a full replace), and inspiration_update_variant (revises one concept in place). If the tools are unavailable, tell the user to install/enable the Magic Patterns plugin or MCP server.
  • Publishing requires a Magic Patterns account; an authentication error from either tool means the user needs to sign in / connect the MCP server.

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.

inspiration is a skill published in the GitHub repository magicpatterns/agent-plugins (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 5,981 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
