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

21st-dev 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 4d 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 — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

21st.dev

21st.dev is the "npm for design engineers" — an open-source community registry (MIT) of high-quality React + Tailwind components, blocks, and hooks. It is shadcn-compatible: every component is installed with the standard npx shadcn@latest add CLI, just pointed at a 21st.dev URL.

Prerequisites

  • Node 18+ and npx
  • A Next.js / Vite / React Router / Astro project
  • Tailwind CSS v3 or v4 (Tailwind 4 requires shadcn CLI v4+, March 2026 or newer)
  • React 18 or 19
  • shadcn initialized once (writes components.json, src/lib/utils.ts, src/components/ui/button.tsx, and shadcn theme tokens into globals.css)

One-time setup (per project)

# Initialize shadcn — creates components.json, ui/, lib/utils.ts, theme tokens
cd <project-root>
npx --yes shadcn@latest init -d --force

-d uses defaults (Next.js template, base-nova preset). --force overwrites any prior config.

Important — the init step rewrites --background, --foreground, --primary, --accent in globals.css to neutral oklch values. If your project already has brand colors mapped to those CSS variables (Weblyfe does — emerald + gold + snow), you must restore the brand mappings immediately after init:

:root {
  /* Keep brand vars */
  --brand-emerald: #247459;
  --brand-gold: #DFB771;
  --brand-snow: #F6FEFC;
  /* ... */

  /* Re-map shadcn slots to brand */
  --background: var(--brand-snow);
  --foreground: var(--brand-green-goblin);
  --primary: var(--brand-emerald);
  --accent: var(--brand-gold);
  /* keep the rest of shadcn's tokens (card, popover, secondary, border, ring, etc.) */
}

Also restore --font-sans if you use a custom font variable (shadcn replaces it with var(--font-sans)):

@theme inline {
  --font-sans: var(--font-rethink), system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-heading: var(--font-rethink), system-ui, sans-serif;
}

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.
