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 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Frontend — taste, styles, craft, and what to refuse

Rule content lives in the five files below; this SKILL.md only routes (duplicating rule text here is drift — doctrine/04-maintenance.md governs edits to this bundle too).

Route by moment

You are about to… Read (in this folder)
Start any page/component/artifact — brief to shipped process.md first; it routes onward
Pick a visual direction, or choose between styles styles.md
Understand what makes a design striking vs mediocre; make a boring design memorable taste.md
Write actual CSS values — type, space, color, depth, motion, dark mode craft.md
Judge a design (yours or anyone's); name precisely why something feels cheap garbage.md

Start with the ONE file that matches and follow its cross-references — they are required inputs, not optional reading. Starting from scratch usually means process.md + the two files it points you to.

Scope and neighbors

This bundle is the visual/aesthetic layer only. Server-side design (stack, APIs, data) → the backend bundle; whether to delegate → doctrine; how to think → methods. If the environment provides an artifact-design skill (harness-side), it calibrates how much to invest per request; THIS bundle governs direction and craft once you're building.

The stance

Left unguided, every model produces the same page (garbage.md §A names it precisely). What taste means here — and why a clean-but-forgettable page counts as a failure — is taste.md's opening; read it before judging any design.

Files

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.
