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

creative-moodboard 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 9d 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.

Creative — Mood Board Explorer

Create shared visual language so a team can agree before anyone produces final creative. The output is a board to react to and sign off on — not finished assets. Bigger and more exploratory than creative-explore: each "territory" is a coherent world, shown with multiple tiles.

When to use

  • Multiple stakeholders need to align on aesthetic before spend.
  • Kicking off a brand or rebrand and the visual world is undefined.
  • You want a durable reference artifact the whole team points back to.

When NOT to use

  • Solo/fast project, just need to pick a look → creative-explore (lighter).
  • Direction already signed off → go straight to creative-scene/creative-shot.
  • You're connecting strategy to visuals specifically → creative-positioning.

Inputs (ask only what's missing)

  • Brand/product + the decision this board must unblock.
  • Audience + emotional target.
  • Existing assets / competitor refs to anchor or avoid.

Workflow

  1. Define 2-4 named territories (e.g. "Warm Analog", "Clinical Precision", "Street Energy"). Each is a mood, not a single image — distinct enough to force a real choice.
  2. For each, specify: palette swatches, texture/material language, typography feel, photography style, motion feel (if relevant).
  3. Generate 4-6 tiles per territory with your image tool, deliberately varied within the territory: one hero shot, one texture macro, one product-in-context, one type-in-situ, one color study. Keep prompt DNA consistent within each territory. Save to ./creative/moodboard/<territory>/tile-NN.png.
  4. Assemble a markdown board grouping tiles per territory, each with a "what this means for the brand" paragraph.
  5. Drive a decision: ask the team to pick one territory or explicitly fuse two. Pass the winner to creative-explore/creative-scene.

Worked example

Brand: a fintech app for freelancers. Decision to unblock: "does the brand feel friendly or serious?"

## Territory 1 — "Calm Confidence"
palette: deep navy / soft sage / warm white   texture: matte paper, subtle grain
type: humanist sans (geometric but warm)   photo: clean desks, soft daylight
motion: slow, settled
tiles: [hero-dashboard][paper-macro][desk-context][type-sample][palette]
reads as: trustworthy without being cold — "your money is handled"

## Territory 2 — "Bold Operator"
palette: ink black / electric lime / concrete grey   texture: hard edges, mono type
type: grotesk, tight, uppercase accents   photo: high-contrast, urban
motion: snappy, decisive
tiles: [hero][texture][context][type][palette]
reads as: for freelancers who hustle — "move fast, get paid"

Recommendation: T1 if target skews established professionals; T2 if early-career creators. → user picks T1, pass to creative-explore to refine.

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.
