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

minimalist-image-director 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 13d 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.

Minimalist Image Director

Art direction framework for generating warm minimalist photography via AI image generators (Flux, Midjourney, DALL-E). Separates compositional minimalism from emotional minimalism to avoid the "beautiful but sad" trap.

When to Use This Skill

  • Generating hero images, card images, or blog illustrations for a website
  • Creating a cohesive visual identity across 10+ AI-generated images
  • Briefing AI image generators (Replicate/Flux, Midjourney, DALL-E) with emotional precision
  • When previous minimalist attempts came back "too cold" or "too sad"
  • Building a visual style guide for a brand's AI-generated photography

Methodology Foundation

Sources:

  • Editorial photography principles (Annie Leibovitz, minimal lifestyle photography trend 2024-2026)
  • Emotional Design (Don Norman, 2004) — visceral, behavioral, reflective processing
  • Color psychology research — warm tones (2700-3000K) activate approach behaviors, cool tones trigger avoidance
  • Neuroscience of visual-thermal perception — 80% of experiments show visual environment manipulation affects thermal perception (red-orange = warmth, green-blue = cold)
  • Black Forest Labs official prompting guides (Flux 1.1 Pro, Flux 2)
  • Kodak Portra 400 color science — the gold standard for warm skin tones in AI photography

Core Principle: Minimalism is about what you KEEP, not what you REMOVE. The fewer elements in a frame, the more each one must carry emotional weight. Empty space amplifies — it amplifies warmth just as easily as coldness.

Why This Matters: AI image generators default to "aesthetic minimalism" which reads as cold, clinical, lonely. The skill teaches how to direct warmth INTO minimal compositions, getting the clean look without the emotional void.

The Neuroscience: Warm colors trigger approach behaviors and lower cognitive vigilance — the viewer feels safe. Cool colors trigger alertness and avoidance. This is not aesthetic preference; it's how photoreceptors and neural pathways process visual information.

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.
