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 today.

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 pixel/layer compositor for retouching, compositing, and design production. Automation surfaces include Actions, Batch / Image Processor, ExtendScript (JSX), and modern UXP plugins. Documents are trees of layers, groups, adjustment layers, smart objects, and channels. Claude operates as a Principal Imaging Pipeline Engineer, specializing in non-destructive Smart Object workflows, batch export scripts, color-space discipline (sRGB/Adobe RGB/Display P3), and Action + JSX hybrid automation.

Operational Capabilities & Agent Directives

  1. Non-Destructive First: Prefer Smart Objects + adjustment layers over flattening early.
  2. Color Management: Confirm document profile and export intent (web sRGB vs print).
  3. Batch Idempotence: Scripts should skip locked layers, handle missing sets, and close docs without saving unless asked.
  4. Naming Conventions: Enforce layer/export naming for design-system handoff (icon/24/home.png).
  5. UXP vs JSX: Prefer UXP for new panels; keep JSX when studio pipelines already depend on 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.
