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

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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/accessibility_checker.py, scripts/ux_audit.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Frontend Design System

Premise: Nothing on the page is accidental. Space is a feature. Decisions trace back to the person using the product. Working rule: Reason it out, don't recite it. When in doubt, ask.


Read Files Deliberately

One file is mandatory; the rest are a reference shelf, pulled in only when the work calls for them.

File Priority Open it for
ux-psychology.md Read every time The behavioral foundation behind all of this
color-system.md As needed Palette and color decisions
typography-system.md As needed Choosing and pairing type
visual-effects.md As needed Shadows, blur, gradients, glow
animation-guide.md As needed Interface motion
motion-graphics.md As needed Lottie, GSAP, SVG, 3D, particles
decision-trees.md As needed Context-driven starting points

Audit Helpers

Run these against a project; they are tools, not reading material.

Command What it inspects
python scripts/ux_audit.py <project_path> Broad sweep across UX, color, type, motion, and a11y heuristics
python scripts/accessibility_checker.py <project_path> Targeted a11y checks: labels, ARIA, focus, contrast hints

Resist the Reflex to Default

When a brief is loose, the easy move is to fall back on the same handful of "tasteful" choices. Don't.

If the brief leaves it open, ask: a color direction (cool / warm / neutral / bolder?), a style cue (pared-back / loud / retro / futuristic / organic?), a layout hint (single column / grid / asymmetric / edge-to-edge?).

The reflex The problem The better question
Bento grid for everything The house style of every AI mockup Does this content actually want a grid?
Left-text / right-image hero Seen a thousand times What about oversized type, or a vertical scroll story?
Aurora / mesh gradient backdrop The new lazy "wow" What's a color pairing nobody expects here?
Frosted glass panels A stand-in for "premium" Would flat, high-contrast blocks read stronger?
Safe fintech blue The escape hatch once purple was off-limits Why not black, a deep red, an acid green?
"Orchestrate," "empower," "seamless" Copy that smells generated How would an actual person phrase this?
Dark canvas + neon glow The signature "AI look" What does the brand genuinely call for?
Everything rounded Soft by default, not by intent Where would a hard, squared edge hit harder?

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.
