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

frontend-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 7d 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.

Frontend Design Standards

This skill provides the design evaluation criteria and aesthetic guidelines used by the ganvil planner and frontend evaluator. It encodes design principles that turn subjective judgments like "is this design good?" into concrete, gradable terms.

Design Thinking Framework

Before making any design decision, understand:

  • Purpose: What problem does this interface solve? Who uses it?
  • Tone: Commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction. Options include (but are not limited to): brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, retro-futuristic, organic/natural, luxury/refined, playful/toy-like, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, art deco/geometric, soft/pastel, industrial/utilitarian. Choose one and execute it with precision.
  • Constraints: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility).
  • Differentiation: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember?

CRITICAL: Choose a clear conceptual direction and execute it with precision. Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work — the key is intentionality, not intensity.

Design Reference Library

For inspiration and calibration, reference real-world design systems from the awesome-design-md collection. Each entry represents a standout design identity:

High-Caliber Design References (by domain)

Domain Reference Design Character Why It's Exceptional
Dev Tools Linear Ultra-minimal, precise, purple accent Every pixel is intentional. Spacing, typography, and color serve function and mood equally
Dev Tools Vercel Black/white precision, Geist font Radical restraint used as a design weapon. Nothing extra, nothing missing
Fintech Stripe Purple gradients, weight-300 elegance Signature gradient meshes create depth and warmth. Typography is light yet legible
Fintech Revolut Sleek dark interface, gradient cards Premium dark surfaces with vibrant card accents create financial confidence
E-commerce Shopify Dark cinematic, neon green accent Full-bleed photography, ultra-light display type, unexpected for e-commerce
E-commerce Airbnb Warm coral accent, rounded UI Photography-driven design with consistently warm, inviting palette
Consumer Apple Premium white space, cinematic imagery SF Pro font system, dramatic full-viewport product shots
Consumer Spotify Vibrant green on dark, bold type Album-art-driven layouts that feel alive and dynamic
Creative Framer Bold black/blue, motion-first Design itself IS the content — every transition and animation communicates
Creative Figma Vibrant multi-color, playful-professional Rainbow palette that somehow stays cohesive through deliberate constraining
Editorial The Verge Acid-mint, ultraviolet accents Custom Manuka display type, deliberately jarring and memorable
Automotive Tesla Radical subtraction, cinematic photography Universal Sans, near-empty black/white canvas, product is the hero

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.
