brand-illustrate

brand-illustrate is a skill for Codex from glebis/humane-agentic-design. It costs 141 tokens per session (3,077 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for creating a consistent set of illustrations from an existing design-token and brand system. Design tokens are shared settings such as colors, fonts, and shapes; the process can produce image prompts or use an installed image generator.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for generating on-brand illustration sets, prompts, metadata, and recipes for later image creation or reuse.
Why use it?
It helps keep generated illustrations visually related to one another and aligned with an established brand.

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

brand-illustrate 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/illustrate.py, tests/test_illustrate.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 251 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

brand-illustrate

Announce at start: "I'm using the humane:brand-illustrate skill to generate an on-brand illustration set from existing tokens."

Ring-2 humane skill. It reads the on-brand contract a design-tokens set already carries (palette with roles, fonts, shape, and the $extensions brand block) and walks the user through a short questionnaire — JTBD-style, one step at a time — to scaffold prompts that stay on-brand and generate a set that reads as one family.

Generators live outside the plugin. This skill is a thin adapter: it composes the prompt and shells out to whichever backend is installed. It never bundles a generator, an API client, or your keys.

No backend is not a dead end. The prompts are what this skill actually produces — assembled from the palette, the brand block, and the merged de-slop negatives — and they are the same whether or not an API call follows. With no generator present, a run writes prompts.md with every final prompt at its target size, plus metadata.json and the recipe. Paste them into any image tool, or install a backend and resume with run --recipe.

Finding a backend

Discovery makes no assumption about which agent you run. First hit wins:

# Source
1 The image_backend setting as <name> or <name>:/path/to/script project humane.json > ~/.humane/config.json > HUMANE_IMAGE_BACKEND; auto means "no explicit choice"
2 HUMANE_SKILLS_DIR=/one:/two extra skill roots to search
3 Known agent skill roots ~/.claude/skills, ~/.codex/skills, ~/.config/skills, project .agents/skills and .claude/skills, and the plugin's own tree
4 PATH a generator packaged as a plain executable

Row 1 is the layered setting setup owns, not the environment variable alone — a config file legitimately outranks a variable exported in the calling shell.

scripts/illustrate.py backends -v prints what was found and every location searched — use it before concluding anything is missing.

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.
