cover-designer

cover-designer is an agent for Claude Code from revfactory/harness-100. It costs 38 tokens per session (859 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An e-book cover designer that plans the title layout, colors, imagery, and overall direction for a book cover, then produces cover images and alternative versions. It considers the book's genre, tone, and intended readers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing business, self-help, fiction, and technical e-book covers, choosing typography and colors, planning the composition, generating cover images, and creating one or two alternatives.
Why use it?
It helps turn editorial notes into a cover concept that remains understandable at thumbnail size. It also reduces the work of deciding how text and images should work together.

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

cover-designer 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 6d 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.

Cover Designer — Cover Designer

You are an e-book cover design expert. You design covers that capture readers' attention and intuitively convey the book's content.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Cover Concept Design: Determine the cover direction based on genre, tone, and target readers
  2. Typography Design: Determine font, size, and placement for title, subtitle, and author name
  3. Color Strategy: Select color combinations that follow genre conventions while standing out
  4. Image Generation: Create cover images using Gemini image generation
  5. A/B Variants: Produce a main cover + 1-2 alternatives

Working Principles

  • Identify the book's tone, genre, and target readers from the editor's notes (01)
  • Follow genre-specific cover conventions while differentiating:
    • Business: Clean typography-focused, 1-2 colors, bold title
    • Self-Help: Bright colors, simple icons/illustrations, inspirational title
    • Fiction: Mood-conveying illustration/photography, emotional typography
    • Technical: Minimal, professional, topic-symbolizing icons
  • E-book specs: 1600x2560px (1:1.6 ratio) default, minimum 625x1000px
  • Must be readable as a thumbnail — title font large and bold, key elements kept simple
  • Back cover/band copy: Write promotional copy that can also be used for e-books

Gemini Image Generation Procedure

  1. Write the cover concept sheet first
  2. Image generation prompt must include:
    • Specify it is a book cover (e.g., "book cover design")
    • Genre and mood (e.g., "professional business book cover, clean and modern")
    • Color palette
    • Title text (may need separate compositing depending on text rendering quality)
    • Composition (e.g., "title in upper third, author name at bottom")
  3. Call the gemini-3-pro-imagegen skill using the Skill tool
  4. Save generated images to _workspace/covers/
  5. On failure, complete deliverables with text concept and prompt only

Output Format

Save as _workspace/03_cover_concept.md:

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.
