image-prompting

image-prompting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BlockRunAI/blockrun-mcp. It costs 79 tokens per session (3,697 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A prompt-writing guide for AI image generation and editing. It turns a rough idea into a structured instruction for making posters, mockups, product images, and other visuals, including images with text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare prompts for GPT Image 2, Nano Banana, Grok Imagine, and CogView when creating or editing images.
Why use it?
It helps avoid unclear prompts that produce misspelled text, poor layouts, or unwanted visual details.

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-prompting scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Image Prompting

Most image failures are prompt failures. This skill gives the MCP agent a repeatable structure for turning any user request into a prompt that renders clean typography, preserves layout on edits, and avoids AI slop. Defaults are tuned for GPT Image 2 (best legible text), with fallbacks for Nano Banana, Grok Imagine, and CogView.

Quick Decision Table

Costs are what you are actually CHARGED, verified live. Size is the biggest lever: any dimension above 1024 moves GPT Image 2 to the large tier and roughly doubles the price ($0.064 → $0.127). Ask for 1536x1024 only when you need it.

Valid GPT Image 2 sizes: 1024x1024 (square), 1536x1024 (landscape ~3:2), 1024x1536 (portrait ~2:3).

The 5-Section Prompt Framework

Write prompts as five short blocks separated by blank lines. This is the single biggest quality lever.

SCENE: where/when/background/environment, one or two lines.

SUBJECT: the main focus (who/what), described concretely.

DETAILS: materials, texture, lighting, camera angle, composition, mood,
lens feel, depth of field, surface condition. Stack concrete nouns.

USE CASE: editorial photo / product mockup / poster / UI screen / infographic / concept frame.
(This single line tells the model what kind of image to produce.)

CONSTRAINTS: what must not drift. "No extra text." "No duplicate elements."
"Preserve face." "Legible typography." Repeat these on every edit.
