What is flora-run-technique?

A workflow runner for FLORA, a service that provides saved image-processing workflows. Each technique combines fixed steps, prompts, and models for tasks such as changing backgrounds, relighting, upscaling, or turning sketches into rendered images.

Use it to run a named FLORA technique on an existing image, such as swapping the background, changing the lighting, increasing resolution, changing the model, or creating a render from a sketch.

It helps you find the right saved workflow, provide its required image inputs, and avoid running a mismatched or incomplete process. It also checks the workspace and cost before a run.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00108	$0.00720
Opus 5	$0.00054	$0.00360
Sonnet 5	$0.00022	$0.00144
Haiku 4.5	$0.00011	$0.00072

Security

Grade A, and why

flora-run-technique 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 12d 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 — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run a FLORA technique

A technique is a saved workflow that chains several models. It is the thing FLORA does that a single image model cannot: the steps, prompts, and model choices are fixed by whoever authored it, so the same technique gives the same treatment every time.

Input: the user's intent, plus any source image. Output: the technique's output URLs, the charged cost, and the project the run landed in.

Steps

Resolve the workspace. Call flora_list_workspaces. If there is more than one, ask which to bill before spending anything.
Find the technique. Call flora_list_techniques and match on the user's intent. It returns run_cost and a summary of inputs for each. If nothing fits, say so and offer flora_generate instead — do not force an unrelated technique.
Get the exact input ids. Call flora_get_technique. Its declared input ids are the keys flora_run_technique expects. Never guess them from the name.
Get each image input to an HTTPS URL (see Image inputs below).
Run it. Call flora_run_technique with workspace_id, technique_id, and an inputs object keyed by those ids. Omit optional text inputs entirely when the user gave no direction — an empty string is rejected, not treated as absent.
Poll and report. Poll flora_get_run until status is completed or failed. Report the output URL, the charged cost, and a link to the project.

Image inputs

FLORA fetches images server-side from an HTTPS URL. Files the user attaches in ChatGPT already have one — they are hosted on files.openai.com or cdn.openai.com, both allowlisted. Pass that URL straight to flora_create_asset as source, or into the technique input directly.

Never base64-encode a file or try to upload bytes. If the image genuinely has no URL, say that this environment cannot upload it and point the user at their FLORA project to add it there.

Rules

State the cost before running. run_cost comes back from flora_list_techniques. Techniques range from free to several dollars per run.
You cannot see the output. Runs return URLs, not pixels. Describe what was produced from the technique and the inputs; never claim to have looked at it.
On input_validation_error, re-read flora_get_technique, rebuild inputs from what it returns, and retry once. Do not retry other failures — retries bill.
On insufficient credits, surface the message and stop.

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.
