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 8d ago.

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

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 chrometheme: "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 storyboardstimestamp 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).

The atom embeds no LLM — it is deterministic. The orchestrating agent is responsible for composing the thread JSON; the renderer only draws exactly what the JSON says.

When to use

  • Need a fake iMessage screenshot for an ad, social post, video scene, or product mockup.
  • Want a side-by-side hero image showing a conversation in an iPhone frame.
  • Need a typing indicator or "Delivered" beat for a video storyboard.
