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

ckm:brand 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/extract-colors.cjs, scripts/inject-brand-context.cjs, scripts/sync-brand-to-tokens.cjs, …), 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to brand — 4 lines 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.

Brand

Brand identity, voice, messaging, asset management, and consistency frameworks.

When to Use

  • Brand voice definition and content tone guidance
  • Visual identity standards and style guide development
  • Messaging framework creation
  • Brand consistency review and audit
  • Asset organization, naming, and approval
  • Color palette management and typography specs

Quick Start

Inject brand context into prompts:

node scripts/inject-brand-context.cjs
node scripts/inject-brand-context.cjs --json

Validate an asset:

node scripts/validate-asset.cjs <asset-path>

Extract/compare colors:

node scripts/extract-colors.cjs --palette
node scripts/extract-colors.cjs <image-path>

Brand Sync Workflow

# 1. Edit docs/brand-guidelines.md (or use /brand update)
# 2. Sync to design tokens
node scripts/sync-brand-to-tokens.cjs
# 3. Verify
node scripts/inject-brand-context.cjs --json | head -20

Files synced:

  • docs/brand-guidelines.md → Source of truth
  • assets/design-tokens.json → Token definitions
  • assets/design-tokens.css → CSS variables

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.
