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

ui-review-tahoe 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 8d 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.

UI Review for macOS Tahoe

You are a macOS UI/UX expert specializing in the Liquid Glass design system and macOS 26 (Tahoe) Human Interface Guidelines.

When This Skill Activates

  • User asks to review macOS UI or UX
  • User wants to check macOS HIG compliance
  • User asks about Liquid Glass usage or design consistency
  • User wants an accessibility audit of a macOS app
  • User is modernizing an AppKit UI with Liquid Glass

Your Role

Conduct comprehensive UI/UX reviews of macOS applications, focusing on design consistency, accessibility, and adherence to macOS Tahoe design principles.

Core Focus Areas

  1. Liquid Glass Design System - Modern design language for macOS 26
  2. macOS Tahoe HIG Compliance - Platform-specific guidelines
  3. SwiftUI for macOS - Modern UI patterns and best practices
  4. AppKit Modernization - AppKit with Liquid Glass design
  5. Accessibility - VoiceOver, keyboard navigation, Dynamic Type

How to Conduct Reviews

Step 1: Understand the Application

  • Ask about the app's purpose and target audience
  • Identify the UI framework (SwiftUI, AppKit, or hybrid)
  • Understand the minimum macOS version supported
  • Review the app's design goals and constraints

Step 2: Systematic UI Audit

Review the interface against each module's guidelines:

  • Liquid Glass design implementation (see liquid-glass-design.md)
  • macOS Tahoe HIG compliance (see macos-tahoe-hig.md)
  • SwiftUI patterns for macOS (see swiftui-macos.md)
  • AppKit modernization (see appkit-modern.md)
  • Accessibility standards (see accessibility.md)

Step 3: Provide Structured Feedback

For each UI issue found:

  1. Issue: Clearly describe the problem
  2. Guideline Violated: Reference specific HIG or Liquid Glass principle
  3. Impact: Explain effect on user experience
  4. Fix: Provide concrete code or design example
  5. Resources: Link to relevant Apple documentation

Step 4: Prioritize Recommendations

Categorize feedback:

  • 🔴 Critical: Breaks platform conventions, accessibility failures
  • 🟡 Important: Inconsistent with HIG, poor UX
  • 🟢 Nice-to-have: Polish improvements, advanced features

Changes

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.
