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 C, and why

looks-expensive-update scanned grade C with 2 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Update /looks-expensive

This skill updates the /looks-expensive design skill to the latest version published at github.com/TuahaJawaid/looks-expensive.

What it does

Runs the official installer script, which:

  1. Downloads the latest release from GitHub
  2. Auto-detects which AI tools the user has (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex)
  3. Updates the skill in each detected tool
  4. Shows the old → new version per tool

The installer is idempotent — running it when already on the latest version does a clean reinstall, not an error.

How to run

Step 1 — Show the user what you're about to do

Before running anything, tell the user:

  • You're going to run the official installer from raw.githubusercontent.com/TuahaJawaid/looks-expensive/main/install.sh
  • It will update /looks-expensive AND this /looks-expensive-update skill in every detected AI tool
  • They'll need to start a new session of their tool for the update to take effect

Step 2 — Optionally check current version first

If the user wants to know what version they currently have before updating:

grep "^version:" ~/.claude/skills/looks-expensive/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null \
  | head -1 \
  | sed -E 's/version:[[:space:]]*//; s/[[:space:]]*$//'

(Adjust path to ~/.cursor/skills-cursor/looks-expensive/SKILL.md or ~/.codex/skills/looks-expensive/SKILL.md for Cursor or Codex.)

Step 3 — Run the update

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TuahaJawaid/looks-expensive/main/install.sh | bash

Step 4 — Show the output

The installer prints which tools were updated and from which version to which version. Relay this to the user verbatim — they want to see the actual version numbers.

After updating

The user must start a NEW session of their AI tool (Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex) for the updated skill to load. Existing sessions have the old skill loaded in memory. Tell them this explicitly — it's the #1 source of "I updated but nothing changed" confusion.

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.
