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

skilld-tui-design 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Design skilld CLI interactions

Build the user's whole command journey, including failure, cancellation, and the return to their shell. Read source decisions for the two reviewed Skills and their exact revisions.

Establish the contract

Read the project's GLOSSARY.md, COPY.md, and VISION.md when present. Keep canonical nouns and strings. Use short sentences with one idea each. Inspect the command parser, output renderer, and terminal lifecycle before changing behavior. Classify each affected surface as static output, a picker, a prompt, or a full-screen view. Include command help, parser errors, startup notices, and progress indicators in the inventory. List its starting state, successful outcome, expected failures, and cancellation behavior. Keep the existing JSON envelope, streams, and exit codes unless the task changes that contract.

Use the existing shared renderer and semantic palette. Avoid adding a second framework or per-screen theme. Start with crates/skilld-ui, crates/skilld-command/src/output.rs, and crates/skilld-native/src. Inspect command help and routing in crates/skilld-command/src/lib.rs.

Put the decision first

Static output starts with the requested result or the failed action. Group repeated records consistently. Place supporting metadata below each record. Use spacing and headings before adding boxes. Keep commands copyable. Preserve whitespace inside quoted arguments. Wrap prose and paths by terminal cells. Preserve the original value in machine output. Give empty results a useful next action based on available commands.

Pickers show the question, query, matching count, selected item, and valid keys. Full-screen views keep scope and current state visible. For large inventories, start with recommendations and counts. Open projects or folders before listing individual Skills. Use words for findings. Label identical copies as duplicates and show their paths; separate symlinks from directory copies. State when a filter changes only the view. An action review must still list every affected target. Spend rows on the user's decision. Do not reserve space for decorative panels. If a pane cannot show complete content, provide reachable scrolling or a detail view. At smaller sizes, simplify the layout before hiding required information. If the screen is unusable, block hidden actions and show the required size.

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.
