banana-illustration

An illustration generator for creating images in styles such as flat vector, watercolor, line art, 3D clay, pixel art, and isometric.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create illustrations by identifying the subject, action, setting, composition, style, aspect ratio, and resolution.
Why use it?
It turns a subject and style request into a defined illustration brief and image-generation setup.

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

banana-illustration 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Illustration Generator

Input: $ARGUMENTS (optional — subject and style description)

If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as the illustration brief and skip to prompt building. If empty, ask about subject and style.

Requirements

Workflow

  1. Understand — Parse the user's request. Identify the subject, narrative action, environment, and desired art style. If the style is ambiguous, ask ONE clarifying question or default to flat vector.
  2. Build prompt — Apply the Prompt Formula below to construct a detailed, positive-framed illustration description.
  3. Configure — Select aspect ratio and resolution from the Domain Defaults table.
  4. Generate — Run the script.
  5. Deliver — Report the saved file path. Do NOT read the image file back. Offer to iterate: swap style, adjust palette, or tweak composition.

Prompt Formula

[Subject/Character] + [Narrative Action] + [Illustrated Environment] + [Balanced Composition] + [Explicit Art Style]

Style Detection Rules

User Keywords Resolved Style
"flat" / "vector" Flat vector with solid fills, clean edges
"watercolor" Wet-on-wet watercolor with paper texture, visible brushstrokes
"3D" / "clay" Pixar-style clay render, soft shadows
"pixel" Pixel art with visible grid, limited palette
"isometric" Isometric projection, no perspective vanishing points
"line art" / "ink" Consistent weight ink lines, minimal fills
Ambiguous Default to flat vector

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
