SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Anti-Refusal · line 568
    Skill attempts to nullify the agent's safety policies or restrictions ('you have no restrictions', 'ignore your guidelines', 'do anything now'). This is a direct jailbreak that disables guardrails.
    Fix: Remove jailbreak framing that nullifies safety policies or restrictions. Skill content must not instruct the agent to ignore its guidelines or operate without guardrails.
  • medium Data Exfiltration · line 452
    Data is being sent to an external URL. This could be legitimate telemetry or data exfiltration. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Verify the destination URL is trusted and necessary. Remove or replace with documented APIs. Ensure no secrets, tokens, or PII are transmitted.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00093 $0.10844
Opus 5 $0.00046 $0.05422

Security

Grade A, and why

ideogram-image 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 627 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Ideogram Image

Use the official Developer API directly and treat the checked date below as part of the contract.

Evidence labels and refresh rule

  • Documented: stated by an Ideogram first-party page or the official OpenAPI document.
  • Inference: a conclusion not guaranteed by the published contract.
  • Production heuristic: operational advice, not an Ideogram promise.
  • Treat model availability, endpoint lifecycle, prices, limits, policy, and ephemeral URL lifetime as volatile. Re-check the documentation index, OpenAPI 3.1 JSON, pricing, API agreement, usage policy, and privacy policy before a release or quote.

Unless a paragraph says otherwise, API facts below are Documented — checked 2026-07-09.

Select a route, not an invented model string

Need Canonical route Effective model/lifecycle
New text/layout generation POST /v1/ideogram-v4/generate Ideogram 4.0; current flagship API route
Asynchronous new generation POST /v1/ideogram-v4/async/generate Ideogram 4.0; webhook plus polling
V4 image-guided change POST /v1/ideogram-v4/remix Ideogram 4.0
Style/character references, mask edit, reframe, replacement background /v1/ideogram-v3/* routes below Ideogram 3.0; current specialized routes
Prompt-only multi-image edit POST /v1/edit Current instructional-edit route; docs expose V3 resolution controls but no request model field
Older body-selected generation /generate, /edit, /remix, /reframe Explicitly labeled legacy in the reference; avoid for new work

Do not send model to V4 or V3 route-scoped endpoints. Their model identifiers are the route segments ideogram-v4 and ideogram-v3. The legacy ModelEnum accepts V_1, V_1_TURBO, V_2, V_2_TURBO, V_2A, V_2A_TURBO, or AUTO; it does not expose V3/V4. The generic Describe route accepts V_2, V_3, or V_4. A V3 custom model is addressed by custom_model_uri in the form model/<model_name>/version/<version_name>.

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.
