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

design-taste-skills 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

design-taste-skills

Design skills are pinned upstream under the source id taste. Compass keeps no copy. They do not mix. A dense product UI and a landing page need opposite advice. Pick one group and stay in it.

Install

Add the source id to upstream in .agents/compass.json. Then run ac sync. The source id is taste.

Pick the group

Surface Skills
Landing page, marketing site, portfolio design-taste-frontend, and at most one of industrial-brutalist-ui or stitch-design-taste
Dense product UI, admin, dashboard high-end-visual-design and minimalist-ui
An existing surface to rework redesign-existing-projects
Brand system, logo, identity brandkit
A mockup, screenshot or Figma frame to convert image-to-code

Do not use a landing-page skill and a product-UI skill in one project, unless the project has both surfaces. Say which surface you work on.

Give it a direction

Fix these items before you generate anything:

  1. The surface and its main job.
  2. A named style direction, such as editorial, Swiss or brutalist. "Clean and modern" is not a direction.
  3. The source of the palette and the type: the design system, a Figma token export, or a choice that you can defend.
  4. What must not change: tokens, component API, brand constraints.

If the project has a design system, the system wins. Use the skill to apply it well. When Figma is the source, run ui-conformance first.

Prove it

A design change is visible, so it needs visual proof at each viewport. Run ui-conformance. A skill that says the result "looks expensive" is not proof. A direction that fails contrast or keyboard navigation is not finished.

Changes

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.
