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

adobe-photoshop 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 4d 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.

Adobe Photoshop Image Pipeline AI Skill Guide (Claude)

Overview & Engine Architecture

Adobe Photoshop is a layer-based pixel compositor for retouching, design, and stills pipelines. Agents should treat documents as trees of layers / groups / Smart Objects / adjustment layers, Actions as recorded human-intent steps, and scripts (ExtendScript JSX or UXP) as deterministic I/O + export. Color is a first-class contract: document profile ≠ export intent (web sRGB vs print Adobe RGB / CMYK).

Version pins: document Photoshop major (e.g. 2025) and whether the studio standardizes on UXP (new panels) or ExtendScript (legacy farm scripts). Do not mix APIs in one file.


When to use / when not to

Use when

  • Batch resize/convert/export, Action-driven retouch assist, Smart Object update pipelines.
  • Enforcing color profiles and bit depth for web vs print handoff.
  • Building UXP panels or maintaining JSX in an existing studio toolchain.

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.
