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

color-palette 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 4d 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.

Color Palette

Overview

This skill helps you create purposeful, accessible, and cohesive color palettes for digital products and brands. Color is one of the highest-leverage design decisions you can make—it communicates brand personality, guides user attention, conveys meaning, and determines whether your product is usable by people with visual impairments. This skill covers brand palette creation, semantic color systems (primary, secondary, neutral, semantic), accessibility validation against WCAG standards, and design token documentation. The output is a structured, ready-to-use color system, not a mood board.

When to Use

  • Creating a color palette for a new brand, product, or design system
  • Extending an existing brand palette for digital use
  • Auditing an existing palette for accessibility issues
  • Defining semantic color roles (primary, danger, success, warning, neutral)
  • Generating color token documentation for developer handoff
  • Choosing colors for a specific context (dark mode, data visualization, illustration)

When NOT to Use

  • Photo editing or color grading (use dedicated image editing tools)
  • Print production color matching (CMYK and Pantone matching requires specialized tools)
  • Interior design or physical product color specification
  • Fashion or textile color selection

Quick Reference

Task Approach
Brand palette Start with 1 primary hue, add 1–2 accent hues, build neutrals
Accessibility Text on background must meet 4.5:1 (AA) or 7:1 (AAA) contrast ratio
Semantic colors Map roles: primary, secondary, success (#22c55e range), warning (#f59e0b range), danger (#ef4444 range)
Neutral scale Generate 9–11 shades (50–950) from near-white to near-black
Dark mode Don't invert; remap semantic roles to dark-optimized values
Data viz Use categorical (distinct hues) or sequential (single hue, varying lightness) palettes
Token naming Use semantic names: color.brand.primary, color.feedback.error, not hex values
Tints and shades Generate 9 steps per color; 500 = base, 100 = lightest, 900 = darkest
