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

cursor-reveal-hero 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (assets/vanilla-template/script.js, scripts/smoke-check-reveal.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Cursor Reveal Hero

Use this skill to create or fix a soft cursor-trail reveal effect where a base image is always visible and a reveal image appears only through a fading mask.

Core formula:

final = baseImage + revealImage * softCursorTrailMask

Modes

  • build: create the effect from scratch in an existing app or from the vanilla template.
  • repair: diagnose broken image loading, mask compositing, pointer handling, sliders, fade, resize, or cache behavior.
  • tune: adjust radius, feather, fade, strength, opacity, and momentum for the intended feel.
  • validate: run browser/canvas checks and inspect screenshots.

Workflow

  1. If the user is unsure whether the two image layers match, use $image-layer-alignment-validator first.
  2. Identify the project stack. Prefer the existing framework and asset pipeline.
  3. For a vanilla implementation, copy assets/vanilla-template/ and replace the image paths.
  4. Keep the page focused on the actual reveal surface. Do not add marketing copy, hero text, or unrelated content unless requested.
  5. Implement the canvas architecture from references/canvas-compositing.md.
  6. Add direct controls for tuning: radius, feather, fade, strength, opacity, and momentum.
  7. Expose window.revealSettings and a clear-mask function in development builds when useful.
  8. Run scripts/smoke-check-reveal.mjs against the local URL when a browser target is available.
  9. Report exact changed files, current tuning values, and validation outcome.

Implementation Rules

  • Use one visible canvas and offscreen canvases for mask and reveal layers.
  • Render at device-pixel-ratio scale while keeping CSS size stable.
  • Use pointer events and handle mouse, touch, and pen input.
  • Use a soft radial gradient, not a hard hover circle.
  • Fade old mask content with destination-out.
  • Apply the mask to the reveal layer with destination-in.
  • Draw the base layer every frame before drawing the masked reveal layer.
  • Clear the accumulated mask when control values change so old trails do not confuse tuning.
  • Bump cache-buster query strings or hard refresh when static files are cached.
