Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00028 | $0.01056 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00528 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00211 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00106 |
Grade A, and why
openai-image-gen-hardened 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
OpenAI Image Gen
Generate a handful of “random but structured” prompts and render them via the OpenAI Images API.
Run
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen.py
open ~/Projects/tmp/openai-image-gen-*/index.html # if ~/Projects/tmp exists; else ./tmp/...
Useful flags:
# GPT image models with various options
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen.py --count 16 --model gpt-image-1
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen.py --prompt "ultra-detailed studio photo of a lobster astronaut" --count 4
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen.py --size 1536x1024 --quality high --out-dir ./out/images
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen.py --model gpt-image-1.5 --background transparent --output-format webp
# DALL-E 3 (note: count is automatically limited to 1)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen.py --model dall-e-3 --quality hd --size 1792x1024 --style vivid
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen.py --model dall-e-3 --style natural --prompt "serene mountain landscape"
# DALL-E 2
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/gen.py --model dall-e-2 --size 512x512 --count 4
Model-Specific Parameters
Different models support different parameter values. The script automatically selects appropriate defaults based on the model.

Other Notable Differences
- dall-e-3 only supports generating 1 image at a time (
n=1). The script automatically limits count to 1 when using this model. - GPT image models support additional parameters:
--background:transparent,opaque, orauto(default)--output-format:png(default),jpeg, orwebp- Note:
streamandmoderationare available via API but not yet implemented in this script
- dall-e-3 has a
--styleparameter:vivid(hyper-real, dramatic) ornatural(more natural looking)
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

openai-image-gen-hardened is a skill published in the GitHub repository faberlens/hardened-skills (23 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,056 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
