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

frontend-engineering 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/bundle-budget-checker.py, scripts/test_bundle_budget_checker.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Frontend Engineering Methodology

Frontend engineering is the craft of building the user-facing layer of applications — components, state management, API integration, responsive layout, and client-side performance. This methodology bridges UX design (user journeys, wireframes, accessibility standards) and quality validation (qa-methodology).

The Frontend Engineer's Domain

You own You don't own
Component implementation — UI component composition, props/state interfaces, rendering patterns, lifecycle User journeys, wireframes, accessibility standards, interaction design — that's the product-design-and-ux
State management — client-side state architecture, data fetching patterns, caching, optimistic updates API contract design — that's the api-design-and-evolution
API integration — frontend-to-backend data flow, auth flows (OAuth, JWT), real-time updates Test strategy and automation — that's the QA-engineer
Responsive design implementation — layout systems, breakpoints, cross-device testing Visual identity and brand guidelines — that's the brand-designer
Client-side performance — bundle optimization, lazy loading, Core Web Vitals, render optimization Editorial content and copy — owned by the content and marketing team, outside this skill's scope
Frontend testing — component tests, integration tests, visual regression, accessibility tests Code review and quality gates — that's the qa-methodology
E2E test scenarios and user-flow coverage for frontend features Operating the browser test tool (Playwright) — authoring/running specs, selectors, network mocking, scraping — route to playwright
Mobile app implementation (iOS/Android/Flutter/React Native) Mobile platform work — scaffolding, builds and code signing, device/emulator testing, store submission, mobile lifecycle — route to mobile-development; this skill owns web frontends
Build tooling — bundler config, TypeScript config, linting, formatting, dev environment CI/CD pipeline infrastructure — that's the platform-engineer

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.
