Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00058 | $0.05252 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00029 | $0.02626 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.01050 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00525 |
Grade A, and why
verse-to-prompt 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 10d 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 — 288 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Verse → Image Prompt
Convert a classical Chinese verse into an English image generation prompt, following validated composition rules developed across 4,096 images for SixLines.online.
Mode Selection
- Default (ink painting): Classical ink painting aesthetic.
- Stipple (
--stippleflag): The production matrix skin — luminous golden-age sci-fi stipple. This is the actual style of the 4,096 matrix-skin images on SixLines.online (ADR-173). It reuses the ink-painting scene verbatim and only swaps the render suffix. - Tech-noir (
--tech-noirflag): An experimental phosphor-green CRT cyberpunk reinterpretation. Not the production matrix look — it re-renders the scene in a tech register. Use only when you specifically want that alternative.
Routing:
--stipple, or "matrix skin", "stipple", "phosphor stipple", "the actual matrix images" → Stipple Mode--tech-noir, or "tech-noir", "CRT cyberpunk", "phosphor-green reinterpretation" → Tech-Noir Mode- otherwise → Ink Painting Mode
Note: "matrix skin" maps to Stipple, not Tech-Noir — the shipped matrix images are stipple.
INK PAINTING MODE (default)
Your Task
Given a verse (raw text, any format), produce:
- A style classification with a one-line rationale
- A 50-60 word English prompt ending with "Chinese ink painting."
- A faithful English translation of the verse
The 5 Style Categories

|---|---|---|
atmospheric-night |
Dark palette, strong light source in darkness | Darkness, isolation, winter, grief, hidden things, fear, cold, sleeplessness |
ink-landscape |
Classic shanshui, depth corridors, water/mountain | Nature, seasons, water, agriculture, travel, weather, rivers, mountains |
figures-in-mist |
Ink wash + soft watercolor tints, human scale | Narrative, marriages, courts, travelers, families, ceremonies, human emotion |
bold-action |
Dynamic diagonals, warm ochre palette, kinetic energy | Animals, combat, hunts, dramatic journeys, storms, military, physical struggle |
cosmic-night |
Deep blue/black + gold/white, celestial elements | Stars, heaven, mythical beasts, cosmic order, immortals, divination, emperors |
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.

verse-to-prompt is a skill published in the GitHub repository augchan42/inkstone (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 5,252 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
