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

ux-content 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.

Content and UX Writing

Every word in your UI is a design decision. Good UX writing reduces friction, builds trust, and guides users to their next step. It carries the same weight as visual design.


Checklist

Item Guidance
Plain language Write at a 7th-grade reading level. Short sentences and common words.
Data accuracy User-entered data is validated and shown back correctly. No stale values.
UGC distinction User-generated content is in a visually distinct container from editorial content.
Read and unread indicators Read and unread items are visually differentiated with a bold title or a colored dot.
Localization quality Translations are reviewed by native speakers. Machine translation alone is not sufficient.
Content freshness Outdated content is flagged, archived, or removed after a defined threshold.

UX Writing Principles

Be specific, not vague

  • Avoid: "Something went wrong."
  • Use: "We couldn't save your photo. Check your connection and try again."

Write for the action, not the object

  • Avoid: "Submit"
  • Use: "Create account" / "Send message" / "Place order"

Front-load the key information

  • Avoid: "To complete your order, please enter your card details below."
  • Use: "Enter your card details to complete the order."

Be consistent with terminology Pick one word for one concept and use it everywhere. If one screen says "Save" another should not say "Store" or "Keep" for the same action.


Microcopy Patterns

Context Pattern
Button Verb plus noun: "Download report", "Add photo"
Destructive button Specific verb: "Delete account", not "OK"
Placeholder text A genuine hint, not a repeated label: "Search by city or ZIP"
Error message What happened and how to fix it
Success message Confirm the action and suggest the next step
Loading text What is loading: "Uploading photo..." not just "Loading..."
Empty state headline Empathetic and forward-looking (full standards in ux-error-handling)

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.
