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

hig-components-dialogs 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 12d 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.

Apple HIG: Presentation Components

Check for .claude/apple-design-context.md before asking questions. Use existing context and only ask for information not already covered.

Key Principles

  1. Alerts: sparingly, for critical situations. Errors needing attention, destructive action confirmations, or information requiring acknowledgment. They interrupt flow and demand a response.

  2. Sheets: focused tasks that maintain context. Slides in from the edge (or attaches to a window on macOS). Use for creating items, editing settings, multi-step forms.

  3. Popovers: non-modal on iPad and Mac. Appear next to the trigger element, dismissed by tapping outside. For additional information, options, or controls without taking over the screen.

  4. Action sheets: choosing among actions. Present when picking from multiple actions, especially if one is destructive. iPhone: slide up from bottom. iPad: appear as popovers.

  5. Minimize interruptions. Before reaching for a modal, consider inline presentation or making the action undoable instead.

  6. Concise, actionable alert text. Short descriptive title. Brief message body if needed. Button labels should be specific verbs ("Delete", "Save"), not "OK".

  7. Mark destructive actions clearly. Destructive button style (red text). Place destructive buttons where users are less likely to tap reflexively.

  8. Provide a cancel option for alerts and action sheets with multiple actions. On action sheets, cancel appears at the bottom, separated.

  9. Digit entry: focused and accessible. Appropriately sized input fields, automatic advancement between digits, support for paste and autofill.

  10. Adapt presentation to platform. The same interaction may use different components on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and visionOS.

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.
