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

create-imessage-mockup 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (generate.js, render.js, screenshot.js, …), 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 — 211 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Superseded: the video kit now does this with the phone-chat part, version 1.2.0, in the parts folder of this repository. Every phone-chat style is a style file that draws the same screen frame by frame from the plan's scenes, with the original sounds, in the kit's browser. This atom stays, unchanged in behaviour, for skills outside the kit until they move; its scripts still run.

create-imessage-mockup

Generate iMessage screenshots that look like real iOS captures — correct bubbles with tails, typing indicators, timestamps, "Delivered" captions, group avatars + sender names, keyboard chrome, and an optional iPhone 15 Pro bezel with Dynamic Island and status bar.

Purpose

Turn a structured thread JSON into a believable iMessage screenshot — first as standalone HTML (generate.js + templates/chat.css), then rasterized to PNG with headless Chromium (screenshot.js/render.js via Playwright). It is the atom you reach for when an ad, social post, or video scene needs a fake-but-convincing iOS message capture.

What it gets right, grounded in the renderer:

  • Bubble runs and tails — blue sent bubbles (right) and gray received bubbles (left), with a curved tear-drop tail drawn only on the last bubble of each consecutive sender run (isLastOfRun in generate.js).
  • Dark-themed iOS chrome — theme: "dark" flips the page to the iOS dark conversation look; the status bar, Dynamic Island, and keyboard match iPhone 15 Pro.
  • Group affordances — group threads (mode: "group") add per-sender colored avatar circles, sender names above the first bubble of a run, and a 4-tile group-header badge.
  • Beats for storyboards — timestamp pills, a static-but-mid-animation typing three-dot bubble, attachment cards, and "Delivered"/"Read" captions let you stage individual frames of a conversation.
  • Three crops — --minimal (bubbles only), --with-keyboard (header + iOS keyboard), and --with-iphone-frame (full bezel + Dynamic Island + status bar over a gradient backdrop).

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.
