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

pdf-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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (plugin/index.mjs), 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.

What it actually says

PDF Design

A core capability. Its one tool, pdf_design, returns the document design manual: the page-map planning step, fixed-sheet page architecture, the type scale, the color system (one accent, light body pages, semantic-only status colors), the component kit (cover, TOC, section openers, running footers, stat tiles, hairline tables, callouts, provenance pills, steps), chart rules (inline SVG via the dataviz kit), RTL/Arabic rules, the density/length calibration, the mandatory pdf_render_pages verify loop, and the failure catalog.

The manual itself lives in manual.md beside this file; the plugin reads and returns it. The core contract (agents.core.md) tells you to call pdf_design before authoring any document — this capability is what delivers it. Explicit user or automation design instructions always take precedence over the manual.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.
