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

image-generation 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 2mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Image Generation

Generate images from text descriptions using the generate_image tool and embed them in vault notes.

How to Use

Call the generate_image tool with these parameters:

  • prompt (required) — A detailed text description of the image to generate.
  • target_note (optional) — Path to a note that determines which attachment folder the image is saved to. If omitted, the currently active note is used.

Critical Two-Step Workflow

The generate_image tool only generates and saves the image file — it does NOT insert the image into any note. To embed the image in a note:

  1. Call generate_image with your prompt
  2. Use the returned wikilink (e.g., ![[generated-image.png]]) and insert it into the target note with write_file

Always complete both steps when the user wants an image in a specific note.

Prompt Engineering Tips

Write detailed, specific prompts for the best results:

  • Be descriptive — "A serene mountain lake at sunset with snow-capped peaks reflected in still water" is much better than "a lake"
  • Specify style — Include keywords like: photorealistic, watercolor, minimalist, sketch, oil painting, digital art, flat illustration, isometric
  • Include composition — Mention perspective: close-up, wide angle, aerial view, eye-level, birds-eye view
  • Set the mood — Describe lighting and atmosphere: warm golden hour light, dramatic shadows, soft diffused lighting, moody fog
  • State what to avoid — If certain elements shouldn't appear, mention that in the prompt

Example Prompts

  • "A minimalist flat illustration of a bookshelf filled with colorful books, soft pastel colors, clean lines, white background"
  • "Photorealistic close-up of a mechanical keyboard with cherry blossom keycaps, shallow depth of field, warm desk lamp lighting"
  • "Watercolor painting of a cozy reading nook with an armchair, stack of books, and a steaming cup of tea, warm autumn tones"

Common Use Cases

  • Note illustrations — Visual headers or concept diagrams for notes
  • Creative projects — Story illustrations, mood boards, concept art
  • Blog and presentation images — Custom visuals for published content
  • Visual thinking — Generating images to explore ideas or concepts

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.
