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

distinctive-frontend-design 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 4 executable files (scripts/css_slop_rules.py, scripts/tests/test_css_slop_rules.py, scripts/tests/test_validate_design_macro.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.

Distinctive Frontend Design Skill

Systematic aesthetic exploration that produces contextual, validated design specifications. Every design choice flows from project context -- purpose, audience, emotion -- not from defaults or convenience. The workflow enforces exploration before implementation: you cannot write CSS until you have a validated aesthetic direction, typography selection, color palette, animation strategy, and atmospheric background.

Optional capabilities (off unless explicitly enabled by the user): design system generation, full WCAG accessibility auditing, animation performance profiling, dark mode variant generation.

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.
