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

phantom-canvas AGENTS.md 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 2mo 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

AGENTS.md

CLI tool and HTTP API for AI image/video generation via Gemini Web.

What this tool does

Phantom Canvas wraps Gemini Web as a programmable CLI and HTTP API. It launches Chrome via CDP, automates Gemini's web UI, and exposes generation capabilities for AI agents, scripts, and applications.

How to use

bun add -g phantom-canvas       # or: npm install -g phantom-canvas
phantom-canvas generate "your prompt" -o output.png --headed  # first time: login in Chrome
phantom-canvas generate "your prompt" -o output.png           # after that: headless

See SKILL.md for complete agent instructions.

Architecture

  • index.ts — CLI entry point (chrome / generate / serve)
  • lib/browser.ts — Browser automation (Chrome CDP + Playwright)
  • lib/tasks.ts — Async task queue
  • dist/index.js — Compiled Node.js bundle

Session

Chrome stores login in ~/.phantom-canvas/chrome-profile/. First time requires --headed to login interactively. After that, login persists and headless mode works.

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.
