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

css-tokens 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.

CSS Design Tokens Skill

Purpose

This skill provides a comprehensive set of CSS design tokens (custom properties) to establish a consistent design foundation for web projects. Use this skill when the user requests a base token system or design tokens for their CSS.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • "Add design tokens to my project"
  • "Set up CSS tokens"
  • "Create a tokens file"
  • "Add base CSS variables"
  • Similar requests for foundational CSS custom properties

When NOT to Use This Skill

  • User already has an existing design token system (suggest modifications instead)
  • User specifically requests a framework-specific token system (e.g., Tailwind config, CSS-in-JS tokens)
  • User only needs a subset of tokens (offer to extract specific categories)

What This Skill Provides

A complete tokens.css file with a comprehensive design token system:

  • Typography: Font families, weights, and a modular size scale (xs to 4xl)
  • Spacing: Consistent size scale from 4px to 96px, named by pixel value
  • Colors: Using oklch() color space for perceptually uniform colors with light/dark mode variants for surfaces, text, brand, interactive elements, and semantic states
  • Borders: Radius values derived from the size scale (sm to full)
  • Z-index: Named layers for stacking context (dropdown, modal, toast, etc.)
  • Transitions: Standard timing values (fast, base, slow)

Users can reference individual tokens using CSS custom property syntax: var(--token-name)

Token Content

The complete token definitions are located in references/tokens.css within this skill directory. This file contains all the CSS custom property declarations organized by category.

How to Use This Skill

1. Detect CSS Directory

Search the project for common CSS directory names:

  • css/
  • styles/
  • assets/css/
  • stylesheets/
  • src/css/
  • src/styles/

Check directories at multiple levels (root, src/, public/, assets/).

What ships with it

2 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.
