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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00053 | $0.00673 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00336 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00135 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00067 |
Grade A, and why
shadcn-components 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.

shadcn UI Components
Required Workflow
Before writing ANY UI code:
- Check docs/shadcn-components.md for relevant primitives
- Use MCP
mcp__shadcn__search_items_in_registriesto find blocks matching your need - Install blocks/components before customizing:
- camelAI DO-backed project:
add_shadcn_component({ project: "<project>", components: ["accordion", "tabs", "progress"] })for supported bundled primitives - Local repo shell:
bunx --bun shadcn@latest add <component> --yes
- camelAI DO-backed project:
- Only build custom components when no shadcn primitive or block exists
Composition Philosophy
shadcn components are primitives meant to be stacked, not standalone solutions.
Mental model: Decompose UI into shadcn primitives first:
- Login page = Card + Form + Field + Input + Button
- Settings page = Tabs + Card + Form + Switch + Select
- Dashboard = Sidebar + Card + Table + Chart + Badge
- Modal form = Dialog + Form + Field + Input + Button
Pattern: Container → Layout → Interactive → Feedback
- Containers: Card, Dialog, Sheet, Sidebar
- Layout: Tabs, Accordion, Separator, ScrollArea
- Interactive: Button, Input, Select, Switch, Checkbox
- Feedback: Alert, Toast, Badge, Skeleton
DO NOT Build Custom Implementations Of:
Buttons, inputs, dialogs, dropdowns, cards, forms, navigation, tables, tooltips, popovers, or any component that exists in shadcn. Use the primitives.

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.

shadcn-components is a skill published in the GitHub repository qaml-ai/camelAI (367 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 673 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
