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-status 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Apple HIG: Status 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. Show progress for operations longer than a second or two.

  2. Determinate when duration/percentage is known. A filling progress bar gives users a clear sense of remaining work. Use for downloads, uploads, or any measurable process.

  3. Indeterminate when duration is unknown. A spinner communicates work is happening without promising a timeframe. Use for unpredictable network requests.

  4. Prefer progress bars over spinners. Determinate progress feels faster and more trustworthy.

  5. Place indicators where content will appear. Inline progress near the content area, not modal or distant.

  6. Don't stack multiple indicators. Aggregate simultaneous operations into one representation or show the most relevant.

  7. Don't hide the status bar without good reason. Reserve hiding for immersive experiences (full-screen media, games, AR).

  8. Match status bar style to your content. Light or dark for adequate contrast.

  9. Respect safe areas. No interactive content behind the status bar.

  10. Restore the status bar promptly when exiting immersive contexts.

  11. Activity rings are for Move, Exercise, and Stand goals. Don't repurpose the ring metaphor for unrelated data.

  12. Respect ring color conventions. Red (Move), green (Exercise), blue (Stand) are strongly associated with Apple Fitness.

  13. Use HealthKit APIs for activity data rather than manual tracking.

  14. Celebrate completions with animation and haptics when rings close.

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.
