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

tailwindcss-development 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 today.

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.

Tailwind CSS Development

Documentation

Use search-docs for detailed Tailwind CSS v4 patterns and documentation.

Basic Usage

  • Use Tailwind CSS classes to style HTML. Check and follow existing Tailwind conventions in the project before introducing new patterns.
  • Offer to extract repeated patterns into components that match the project's conventions (e.g., Blade, JSX, Vue).
  • Consider class placement, order, priority, and defaults. Remove redundant classes, add classes to parent or child elements carefully to reduce repetition, and group elements logically.

Tailwind CSS v4 Specifics

  • Always use Tailwind CSS v4 and avoid deprecated utilities.
  • corePlugins is not supported in Tailwind v4.

CSS-First Configuration

In Tailwind v4, configuration is CSS-first using the @theme directive — no separate tailwind.config.js file is needed:

@theme {
  --color-brand: oklch(0.72 0.11 178);
}

Import Syntax

In Tailwind v4, import Tailwind with a regular CSS @import statement instead of the @tailwind directives used in v3:

- @tailwind base;
- @tailwind components;
- @tailwind utilities;
+ @import "tailwindcss";

Replaced Utilities

Tailwind v4 removed deprecated utilities. Use the replacements shown below. Opacity values remain numeric.

Deprecated Replacement
bg-opacity-* bg-black/*
text-opacity-* text-black/*
border-opacity-* border-black/*
divide-opacity-* divide-black/*
ring-opacity-* ring-black/*
placeholder-opacity-* placeholder-black/*
flex-shrink-* shrink-*
flex-grow-* grow-*
overflow-ellipsis text-ellipsis
decoration-slice box-decoration-slice
decoration-clone box-decoration-clone

Spacing

Use gap utilities instead of margins for spacing between siblings:

<div class="flex gap-8">
    <div>Item 1</div>
    <div>Item 2</div>
</div>

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.
