Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00156 | $0.00979 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00078 | $0.00490 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00031 | $0.00196 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00098 |
Grade A, and why
hig-components-menus 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: Menus and Buttons
Check for .claude/apple-design-context.md before asking questions. Use existing context and only ask for information not already covered.
Key Principles
-
Menus should be contextual and predictable. Standard items in standard locations. Follow platform conventions for ordering and grouping.
-
Use standard button styles. System-defined styles communicate affordance and maintain visual consistency. Prefer them over custom designs.
-
Toolbars for frequent actions. Most commonly used commands in the toolbar. Rarely used actions belong in menus.
-
Menu bar is the primary command interface on macOS. Every command reachable from the menu bar. Toolbars and context menus supplement, not replace.
-
Context menus for secondary actions. Right-click or long-press, relevant to the item under the pointer. Never put a command only in a context menu.
-
Pop-up buttons for mutually exclusive choices. Select exactly one option from a set.
-
Pull-down buttons for action lists. No current selection; they offer a set of commands.
-
Action buttons consolidate related actions behind a single icon in toolbars or title bars.
-
Disclosure controls for progressive disclosure. Show or hide additional content.
-
Dock menus: short and focused on the most useful actions when the app is running.

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.
