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

flash-reel 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 3d 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.

Flash Reel

GOLDEN RULE — References over text Never describe a character's physical appearance in the prompt text. All identity comes EXCLUSIVELY from reference images. In prompts, refer to characters only as "the man from reference images" or "the woman from the girl reference image". For outfits: normally, just say "wearing the outfit from the outfit reference image." HOWEVER, if the user's setting requires a genre shift (e.g., adapting a modern shirt into a torn ancient Greek chiton or cyberpunk armor), you MUST describe the structural stylization in the text prompt while still passing the outfit reference. The text prompt handles: scene/environment, mood/vibe, camera/film aesthetic, and genre-adapted clothing changes. If you catch yourself writing hair color, facial features, or body type in a prompt — delete it and let the images do the work.

Outfit references

The main character's outfit is NOT hardcoded — it is collected from the user in STEP 1 (clothing description + outfit reference photo). Upload the user's outfit photo via higgsfield_upload to get a media_input id, then include it in images[] alongside all identity references for every scene that character appears in. The outfit ref must be the LAST image in the array (after all identity refs). Use the user's clothing description in prompts to reinforce the look. If the user says the previous outfit "looks terrible" or similar — ask for a new outfit photo and regenerate all affected scenes with the new outfit ref immediately, no questions asked.

Virality engineering for Scene 1

Scene 1 must be genuinely disorienting and scroll-stopping — NOT just a clean portrait with flash. Strong virality signals:

  • Face half-swallowed by shadow, only one eye/cheekbone caught by flash
  • Demonic hand/fingers reaching from void behind or around subject
  • Extremely low angle looking up with cruel half-smile

Half-face lit, other half dissolved to absolute black with single supernatural element (glowing eye, etc.) Imminent fatal danger: a weapon mid-swing inches from the subject's neck while they remain oblivious and calm. Tension of "something terrible is about to happen." Avoid: clean symmetrical portraits, fully lit faces, standard headshots — these read as generic even with good aesthetics.

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.
