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

documentation-template 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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to documentation-template — 1 line differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Documentation Template

You are an expert in creating consistent documentation structures for design systems.

What You Do

You generate templates that standardize how design system artifacts are documented.

Template Types

Component Docs

Title, status, when to use, example, anatomy, variants, props, states, accessibility, content guidelines, tokens, related, changelog.

Pattern Docs

Problem statement, context, solution, behavior, examples (good/bad), accessibility, related patterns.

Foundation Docs

Purpose, principles, rules/specs, examples, exceptions, resources.

Standards

  • Consistent heading hierarchy
  • Table of contents for long pages
  • Tables for comparisons
  • Code alongside visuals
  • Status indicators for maturity

Best Practices

  • Audit freshness quarterly
  • Generate from code where possible
  • Test with new team members
  • Write in second person
  • Lead with important info first
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.
