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

brand-system 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 7 executable files (scripts/_substitute.py, scripts/audit-contrast.py, scripts/audit-outline.py, …), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 206 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Brand System

Scaffolds a brand book + design system that sits at the root of a web product's repo — long-form BRAND.md (the working reference, 20 sections) paired with BRAND.html (the printable stakeholder distillation, ~7 A4 pages, rendered to BRAND.pdf via Chrome headless) and a matched tokens.css for Tailwind v4 @theme.

This skill authors the document. Its sibling brand-assets produces the pixels (SVG favicons, PWA pack, apple-touch-icon). Call both in sequence for a complete brand rollout.

The five artifacts

Artifact What How
BRAND.md Long-form 20-section working reference templates/BRAND.md.tmpl via scripts/new-brand-book.sh
BRAND.html 7-page A4 printable distillation templates/BRAND.html.tmpl via same script
BRAND.pdf Rendered via Chrome headless scripts/render-pdf.sh
tokens.css Tailwind v4 @theme + :root + [data-theme="dark"] templates/tokens.css.tmpl + scripts/extract-tokens.py
tokens.json W3C DTCG format for Style Dictionary / Tokens Studio scripts/extract-tokens.py --format dtcg

Workflow (decision tree)

  1. Starting fresh? — run the signature-moves interview first: copy templates/signature-interview.md.tmpl into the repo and answer every question before scaffolding. See reference/signature-moves.md for why each question matters. Without this, the output is a template; with it, it's a brand.

  2. Scaffolding a new book? — run scripts/new-brand-book.sh with the interview answers as flags. Emits BRAND.md, BRAND.html, tokens.css, signature-interview.md into the output dir.

  3. Drafting a specific chapter? — load the matching reference:

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.
