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

daisyui-install 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 3d 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.

Install daisyUI 5

Installation guide

  1. You must use Tailwind CSS 4 with daisyUI 5.
  2. The tailwind.config.js file is deprecated in Tailwind CSS v4. Do not use tailwind.config.js. If Tailwind CSS v4 is a Node.js dependency, add only @import "tailwindcss"; to the CSS file.
  3. To install daisyUI 5, run npm i -D daisyui@latest. Then, add @plugin "daisyui"; to the CSS file.
  4. Install daisyUI as a dependency when possible. If you have a specific reason to use a CDN instead, use the Tailwind CSS and daisyUI CDN files:
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/daisyui@5" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tailwindcss/browser@4"></script>
  1. If Tailwind CSS and daisyUI are Node.js dependencies, use this CSS file:
@import "tailwindcss";
@plugin "daisyui";

CDN

For a browser setup with no installation, load the precompiled daisyUI CSS and the Tailwind browser build:

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/daisyui@5" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tailwindcss/browser@4"></script>

The main CDN file includes the light and dark themes. To load all built-in themes, use:

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/daisyui@5/themes.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

You can also combine separate daisyUI CSS modules from the CDN. The CDN files do not include the is-drawer-open: and is-drawer-close: variants.

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.
