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

design-mastery 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 7d 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.

Core Principes (Refactoring UI)

1. HIERARCHY IS EVERYTHING

  • Niet alle elementen zijn gelijk — Bepaal wat belangrijk is VOORDAT je begint
  • Size isn't everything — Gebruik ook weight, color, spacing voor hierarchy
  • De-emphasize to emphasize — Maak secundaire content zachter, niet primary louder
  • Labels are a last resort — Data kan vaak voor zichzelf spreken

2. LAYOUT & SPACING

  • Start with too much white space — Makkelijker om weg te halen dan toe te voegen
  • 8pt spacing system: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 64, 80px
  • You don't have to fill the whole screen — Lege ruimte is geen verspilling
  • Avoid ambiguous spacing — Elementen moeten duidelijk gegroepeerd zijn

3. TYPOGRAPHY

  • Establish a type scale: 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60px
  • Max 2 fonts — Meestal 1 is genoeg
  • Line length: 45-75 characters — Nooit volle breedte tekst
  • Line-height: 1.5 voor body, 1.2-1.3 voor headings
  • Letter-spacing: Tighter voor headings, normal voor body

4. COLOR

  • Ditch hex for HSL — Makkelijker om variaties te maken
  • Je hebt meer kleuren nodig dan je denkt — 8-10 shades per kleur
  • Greys don't have to be grey — Voeg een tint toe (warm/cool)
  • 60-30-10 regel: Primary 60%, Secondary 30%, Accent 10%
  • Max 3 kleuren + neutrals

5. DEPTH & SHADOWS

  • Emulate a light source — Shadows gaan consistent één kant op
  • Two-part shadows: Een scherpe kleine + een zachte grote
  • Overlap elements — Creëert lagen en diepte
  • Flat can have depth — Gebruik kleur en spacing

6. FINISHING TOUCHES

  • Supercharge the defaults — Bullets → icons, borders → shadows
  • Add color with accent borders — Top/left borders in brand color
  • Use fewer borders — Shadows of spacing zijn vaak beter
  • Empty states matter — Nooit een lege pagina zonder guidance

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
