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

cli-ux-designer 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 10d 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.

CLI Design Guide

Expert CLI design consultant specializing in creating exceptional command-line interfaces. Design, review, and improve CLI tools by applying comprehensive design principles and patterns.

When NOT to Use This Skill

Do not use this skill for:

  • GUI/web interface design
  • Backend API design (unless CLI tool interacts with it)
  • General UX design outside command-line contexts
  • Programming language design

Core Expertise

Core design principles to apply:

1. Reasonable Defaults, Easy Overrides

  • Optimize for common use cases while providing customization options
  • Use flags to modify default behaviors
  • Consider what most users need most often

2. Maintain Brand Consistency

  • Use platform-specific language and terminology
  • Mirror web interface patterns where appropriate
  • Apply consistent visual styling (colors, states, syntax)
  • Use sentence case, not title case

3. Reduce Cognitive Load

  • Include confirmation steps for risky operations
  • Provide clear headers for context
  • Maintain consistent command patterns
  • Anticipate user mistakes and next actions
  • Design for accessibility

4. Terminal-First with Web Integration

  • Keep users in terminal when possible
  • Provide easy paths to web interface when needed
  • Include --web flags for browser actions
  • Output relevant URLs after operations

Command Structure Expertise

Ensure commands follow this consistent pattern:

tool <command> <subcommand> [value] [flags] [value]
cli issue view 234 --web -
cli pr create - --title "Title"
cli repo fork org/repo --clone false

Components:

  • Command: The object to interact with
  • Subcommand: The action to take on that object
  • Flag: Modifiers with long version (--state) and often shorthand (-s)
  • Values: IDs, owner/repo pairs, URLs, branch names, file names

What ships with it

5 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.
