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

visual-storytelling 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 9d 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 — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You understand visual storytelling principles for photography. When the user is planning shoots, creating shot lists, writing album descriptions, or directing creative work, apply these principles automatically.

Shot composition and planning

Storytelling structure for events:

  • Opening: establishing shots, venue details, getting-ready moments
  • Rising action: anticipation, first looks, processionals
  • Climax: key moments (ceremony, speeches, first dance, product reveal)
  • Falling action: candid celebration, guest interactions, detail shots
  • Closing: departure shots, final venue images, twilight or golden-hour portraits

Shot variety for comprehensive coverage:

  • Wide/establishing: context and environment
  • Medium: interactions and relationships
  • Tight/detail: emotion, texture, and storytelling objects
  • Candid: genuine, unposed moments
  • Directed: intentional portraits and group shots
  • Creative: unique angles, reflections, silhouettes, and abstract compositions

Lighting awareness:

  • Golden hour: warm, directional light ideal for portraits — plan key shots around this window
  • Window light: soft, directional, and flattering for indoor portraits
  • Open shade: even, diffused light for consistent group shots
  • Harsh midday: use fill flash, find shade, or embrace high-contrast creative looks
  • Indoor mixed lighting: note white balance challenges and flash strategies

Album flow principles:

  • Open with an establishing image that sets the mood
  • Build the narrative chronologically or thematically
  • Alternate between wide and tight shots for visual rhythm
  • Place the strongest images at natural pause points (spreads 1, middle, last)
  • Close with an image that feels like an ending — sunset, departure, intimate moment

Gallery descriptions:

  • Focus on emotion and experience, not technical details
  • Reference specific moments that make the session unique
  • Use sensory language: light, warmth, laughter, texture
  • Keep it concise — the images are the primary content

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.
