Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00159 | $0.03205 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00079 | $0.01603 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00641 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00320 |
Grade A, and why
better-typography 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 11d 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 — 167 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Great typography
Good typography is mostly restraint. A sensible scale, comfortable spacing and enough contrast beat any clever effect. A label, a table cell, a marketing headline and an article paragraph should not share one set of rules. Apply these principles when building or reviewing anything with text in it.
Match the project's styling system. Before suggesting or writing any fix, check how the codebase styles things and express every change in that system: Tailwind utilities in a Tailwind project, plain declarations in CSS, CSS Modules, styled-components or StyleX. The cheat sheet maps each declaration to its Tailwind equivalent. Never introduce a second styling approach just to apply a typography fix.

| Variable fonts & OpenType | Axes, weights, tabular numbers, stylistic sets | variable-fonts-and-opentype.md |
| Spacing & sizing | Type scale, heading hierarchy, line-height, letter-spacing, text trimming | spacing-and-sizing.md |
| Wrapping & punctuation | Measure, wrapping, truncation, smart punctuation, RTL | wrapping-and-punctuation.md |
| Details & accessibility | Underlines, selection, forms, decorative text, contrast | details-and-accessibility.md |
| CSS cheat sheet | Quick lookup of every property covered, with Tailwind equivalents | css-cheat-sheet.md |
Core Principles
1. Serve the Right Format
Use .woff2 (Brotli compression, broadly supported) on the web. .woff is a fallback only for very old browsers; .ttf and .otf are raw desktop formats with no web compression. How the files are loaded is the project's own concern, this skill does not prescribe it.
2. Properties Over Raw Tags
What ships with it
8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

better-typography is a skill published in the GitHub repository memi-design/design-skills (7 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 159 tokens to every session and 3,205 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
