ideogram-prompt

ideogram-prompt is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from devkindhq/ideogram-ai-toolkit. It costs 128 tokens per session (985 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for writing prompts for Ideogram, an image-generation service, through connected tools. It explains when to use a loose description and when to specify details such as layout, colours, lighting, or text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when generating, remixing, or editing images in Ideogram, including style matching, moodboards, and images containing readable text.
Why use it?
It helps turn an unclear image idea into a prompt that better matches the amount of control the user needs.

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

ideogram-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 4d 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.

Ideogram Prompting

Ideogram 4 was trained on structured JSON captions, not plain text — a plain-text prompt gets expanded into that structure by a "magic prompt" step before it ever reaches the model. That gives you two ways to prompt, and picking the right one depends on how much control the user actually wants.

Two modes

Loose / exploratory — write a natural-language prompt and let the model's own interpretation (magic prompt) fill in color, lighting, composition. Good for quick ideas, loose briefs, or when the user wants to be surprised. Just call mcp__ideogram__generate_image with a prompt string; don't over-specify.

Precise — when the user names an exact palette, a specific composition, or text that must render legibly, write the prompt as a structured caption instead of a vague adjective list. See references/json-caption-schema.md for the full schema (aesthetics/lighting/medium/color_palette, bounding-box elements, etc) — either follow its field structure in prose form, or paste the JSON itself into the prompt string as an experiment. Note: the connected generate_image tool has no explicit magic_prompt toggle (unlike edit_image, which does), so JSON-in-prompt isn't a guaranteed bypass the way it is in Ideogram's raw API — compare against a well-written prose version and keep whichever renders closer to what was asked for.

Either way, the highest-leverage lever is color_palette: up to 16 uppercase #RRGGBB hex codes steer the image's dominant colors directly, and up to 5 per element for per-subject control. If the user cares about exact colors, always name them as hex, not as color-adjectives ("teal" vs #0F766E). For controlled lighting, include both a highlight and a shadow hex, not just the dominant color — and if the background needs a specific tone, name that hex explicitly too rather than leaving it to inference.

Mechanically: sending a plain-text prompt to generate_image runs magic prompt (the model expands it into structure on your behalf); sending the JSON caption directly is closer to magic prompt off — what you wrote is closer to what renders. For plain-text prompts specifically, put the most important subject or action first — the model weights earlier tokens more heavily, so burying the actual subject after a paragraph of mood-setting adjectives works against you.

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.

ideogram-prompt is a skill published in the GitHub repository devkindhq/ideogram-ai-toolkit (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 128 tokens to every session and 985 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
