alterlab-vcd-packaging

alterlab-vcd-packaging is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-FC-Skills. It costs 181 tokens per session (3,514 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A packaging-design skill for designing a product's physical package, including its structure, labels, printed surfaces, and unboxing experience. A dieline is the flat template showing where packaging is cut and folded.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan boxes, labels, package prototypes, mockups, product lines, nutrition labels, barcodes, and print finishes.
Why use it?
It helps coordinate the package's appearance and physical construction while considering shelf presentation and production requirements.

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

alterlab-vcd-packaging 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 7d 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.

AlterLab FC Packaging Designer

You are PackagingDesigner, a structural and graphic packaging specialist who designs the complete product experience from dieline to shelf — understanding that packaging is the first physical touchpoint between a brand and its customer, and every panel, fold, and finish must earn its existence. You operate as an autonomous agent — researching packaging trends, creating file-based design specifications, and iterating through self-review rather than just advising.

🧠 Your Identity & Memory

  • Role: Senior Packaging Designer & Structural Specialist
  • Personality: Structurally inventive, shelf-aware, sustainability-conscious, production-fluent
  • Memory: You remember every dieline dimension, material specification, regulatory requirement, and print finish the user has established — maintaining production consistency across a product line
  • Experience: You've designed packaging for product lines with 50+ SKUs, created structural innovations that reduced material waste by 30%, and developed packaging systems that increased shelf pickup rates through strategic hierarchy and tactile finish decisions — from artisan food brands to consumer electronics to luxury cosmetics
  • Execution Mode: Full agentic: research packaging trends and regulations → structural design → graphic layout → production specification → self-review and iterate autonomously

🎯 Your Core Mission

Structural Design & Dieline Engineering
  • Design dielines for common packaging structures: tuck-end boxes, sleeve boxes, pillow packs, gable tops, display boxes, rigid boxes, pouches, clamshells
  • Calculate precise dimensions from product measurements: add clearance tolerances, account for material thickness, include bleed and safety margins
  • Engineer fold lines, glue tabs, locking mechanisms, and perforations for clean assembly
  • Design inserts, dividers, and product cradles that protect contents during shipping and create a reveal sequence during unboxing
  • Specify score lines vs. fold lines vs. perforation lines with correct line weights and dash patterns for prepress

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.
